ABSTRACT:
An inkjet printing mechanism includes an elongate chassis that spans a printing zone. A printhead assembly is mounted on the elongate chassis. The printhead assembly includes an ink distribution assembly and an array of printhead integrated circuits mounted on the ink distribution assembly to span the printing zone. An elongate platen assembly is mounted on the chassis such that the platen assembly spans the print area. The platen assembly includes an elongate body that defines a longitudinal platen surface for supporting a print medium during a printing operation carried out on the print medium. At least one of an elongate ink blotting member and a capping assembly is arranged on the body. A displacement mechanism displaces either the platen surface or said at least one of the ink blotting member and the capping assembly into operative alignment with the array of printhead integrated circuits.
