Inkjet printhead with multiple ink reservoirs

摘要

Some embodiments of the present invention provide an inkjet printhead comprising a housing and at least four ink reservoirs located in the housing. The housing can include an outer surface adapted to be covered by a chip in fluid communication with each of the at least four ink reservoirs. In some embodiments, the housing includes first and second ink vias positioned to fluidly couple first and second ink reservoirs to the outer surface. The first and second ink vias can each include a first end opening into the first and second ink reservoirs, respectively, and a second end opening to the outer surface. The inkjet printhead can have an orientation in which the outer surface lies in a substantially horizontal plane and in which the first ends of the first and second ink vias are positioned over the outer surface.
