ABSTRACT:
An inkjet printhead assembly is provided comprising an elongate support structure and carrier units positioned on the support structure. The support structure has a base, two sidewalls extending from the base and ink supply channels defined between the base and sidewalls. The sidewalls and channels define a slot extending along the support structure such that the channels are in fluid communication with the slot. The carrier units each have a body carrying a printhead segment. The carrier units are positioned and secured in the slot so that the respective printhead segments are placed in fluid communication with the channels and into alignment with one another. The adjacent portions of the carrier unit bodies are configured to interlock in a complementary arrangement so that a continuous printing zone is defined by the aligned printhead segments.
