摘要

A printhead assembly includes an elongate chassis dimensioned to span a pagewidth. An elongate ink reservoir is fastened to the chassis to extend along the chassis. Ink distribution structures are detachably connected to the ink reservoir and are in fluid communication with the ink reservoir. Ink feed structures are mounted on respective ink distribution structures. Printhead chips are mounted on respective ink feed structures to receive ink from the ink distribution structures via the ink feed structures and to overlap partially along the pagewidth. Electrical signal connectors are fast with respective printhead chips to provide the printhead chips with data and power.
