ABSTRACT:
A modular printhead for an inkjet printer includes a chassis. An elongate ink reservoir structure is mounted on the chassis and defines a number of longitudinally extending ink reservoirs. A series of printhead modules is mounted end-to-end on the chassis so that the chassis is interposed between the ink reservoir structure and the printhead modules. Each printhead module includes a cover member with ink conduits extending through the chassis into respective ink reservoirs. A micro-molding is positioned on the cover member and a printhead integrated circuit is mounted on the micro-molding to receive the ink from the cover member, via the micro-molding, and is dimensioned to extend longitudinally across the cover member. Groups of adjustment formations are engaged with respective printhead modules and arranged on the chassis and displaceable with respect to the chassis to adjust a transverse position of the printhead modules with respect to each other so that the printhead integrated circuits can be brought into alignment with each other.
