ABSTRACT:
An ink jet printhead of an ink jet cartridge includes a filter plate that is downstream of the ink. Particularly, the filter plate is attached to the back of the heater chip of the printhead. The filter plate is in addition to a wire mesh filter that is disposed at the inlet of a plumbing standpipe that prevents particles which are shed from the ink reservoir from passing into the printhead chip assembly. The filter plate of the present invention prevents particles that originate in the plumbing standpipe channels below the wire mesh filter from clogging the bubble chambers of the heater chip of the printhead chip assembly. The filter plates are formed on a polymer sheet with a series of holes ablated using an eximer laser. The filter plates are bulk registered and laminated to the back of the heater chips wafer in sheet form during the circuit manufacturing process and then singulated when the wafer is diced into individual heater chips.
