An ink protection device for an inkjet printhead comprises a flap member (330,340,350,370) associated with the printhead and extending generally parallel to the ink ejection surface of the printhead (50) so that when the printhead is mounted in the carriage (40) the flap member extends between the carriage and a face of the printhead, particularly the electrical interconnect (100) face. The device may be in a two part laminar form attached to the bottom of a carriage of the printer and having a flexible part for contacting all four faces of the printheads and a stiff part for support. Both parts having openings aligned with the openings in the carriage through which the printhead snout passes. <IMAGE> |
