Printer with elongate support structure for printhead

摘要

A printer includes an elongate support structure for a printhead assembly. At least one elongate printhead module is positioned on the support structure, along a length of the support structure. The module includes an ink supply and a micromolded ink distribution assembly that is positioned on the supply structure which defines a mounting formation to permit a printhead integrated circuit to be mounted on an ink delivery assembly. A plurality of ink inlets are in fluid communication with the outlets of the supply structure. A printhead integrated circuit is mounted on the ink distribution assembly so that the ink can be fed from the supply structure to the printhead integrated circuit.
