ABSTRACT:
An inkjet printer is provided having a printhead which has a plurality of printhead tiles arranged along the width of a media web, an ink distribution member adjacent the printhead, a media transporter for transporting the media web past the printhead, and a processor for processing a wallpaper pattern and controlling operation of the printhead to print the wallpaper pattern onto the media web to produce wallpaper. Each printhead tile has a plurality of ink ejection nozzles which each have an ink chamber in fluid communication with the distribution member, a lever arm for forcing ink from the chamber, a thermal bend actuator for distorting the lever arm and an electrode for receiving an electrical current that heats and expands the thermal bend actuator.
