ABSTRACT:
An image recording apparatus and method includes a plurality of printheads and a plurality of heat exchangers. Each of the heat exchangers is thermally coupled with a respective one of the printheads. A preferred heat exchanger is a heat pipe wherein a cooling medium is circulated through each heat pipe. A flexible thermal link connects each of the heat exchangers with another of the heat exchangers to facilitate flexibility in mounting of the heat exchangers relative to each other.
