Print engine assembly with an elongate converging ink distribution assembly

摘要

A print engine assembly includes an elongate chassis. A platen is mounted on the chassis. A feed mechanism feeds print media over the platen and along a print feed path. An elongate printhead assembly is mounted on the chassis for carrying out a printing operation on the print media. The printhead assembly includes an elongate ink distribution assembly having an inlet side, an outlet side, a plurality of ink paths that converge laterally to a longitudinally extending central region and a plurality of printhead chip mounting formations in fluid communication with the ink paths. A plurality of printhead chips is mounted in respective mounting formations to receive ink from the ink paths.
