摘要

A molded body (20) of a printhead chip package (70) for use in a hand-held apparatus is provided. The molded body (20) has a bottom surface (22) adapted to be attached to the hand-held apparatus. A fluid reservoir (24) is formed in a central region of the molded body (20), and is bounded on its sides (26) by the molded body (20). A bottom (28) of the fluid reservoir (24) is at least partially open. A recessed cavity (30) is formed in the central region of the molded body (20) above the fluid reservoir (24), and is bounded on its sides (32) by the molded body (20). A top (34) of the recessed cavity (30) is at least partially open. A first part of a bottom (36) of the recessed cavity (30) is bounded by the molded body (20). A second part of the bottom of the recessed cavity (30) is open to a top opening (40) of the fluid reservoir (24). The recessed cavity (30) is adapted to receive a printhead chip (72) therein.
