Angled printer cartridge |
摘要 |
<p>A printer containing an angled printer cartridge (11) and a method of printing using the cartridge. The printer is an ink jet printer which includes a print media movement device (14) for moving a print media (16) through the printer along a print media path and a printer cartridge attached to the printer at an acute angle relative to an axis (Q) perpendicular to an axis (P) along the direction of the media path through the printer. The printer cartridge has a length sufficient to print substantially the entire width of the printed width across the print media and contains a plurality of printheads along at least a portion of the length thereof, each printhead having one or more nozzle arrays. During a printing operation, only a portion of the printheads along the length of the cartridge are activated, thus reducing power consumption during printing. Angling the printer cartridge also has the advantage of increasing the print quality without increasing the density of nozzles in the nozzle array of the printhead. <IMAGE> <IMAGE></p> |
