IMPROVED PRINTHEAD CONFIGURATION

摘要

A printhead comprises a source of ink, a body (12), a mounting base (24, 34, 44), and an ink heater thermally coupled to the mounting base. A flowpath delivers ink from the ink source to the heater and is defined at least in part by the mounting base on the body. Three or more thermally conductive paths extend from the mounting base to the body. Preferably, one or more of the thermally conductive paths are heat conductive bridges extending from the mounting base to the body through an edge feed via.
