ABSTRACT:
An inkjet printhead includes a support assembly. An elongate ink delivery assembly is mounted on the support assembly and is configured to deliver ink from an ink supply. A series of inkjet printhead integrated circuits is mounted on the ink delivery assembly and defines a plurality of ink inlets in fluid communication with respective conduits defined by the ink delivery assembly. At least one printhead cap is movably mounted on the support assembly between an operative position in which the printhead integrated circuits are capped by the printhead cap and an inoperative position in which the printhead integrated circuits are uncapped permitting a printing operation. An actuating mechanism is arranged on the support assembly to actuate movement of the at least one cap so as to cap and uncap the printhead integrated circuits.
