ABSTRACT:
A nozzle guard for a printhead is provided. The nozzle guard has a plurality of channels therethrough, each channel corresponding to a respective nozzle on the printhead such that, in use, ink droplets ejected from each nozzle pass through their respective channel towards a print medium. The channels have hydrophobic sidewalls such that ink droplets can rebound off them and be redirected.
