ABSTRACT:
A print engine for a printer is provided. The print engine includes a support structure, a feed mechanism comprising a pair of feed rollers, at least one print zone which is proximal to the pair of feed rollers and a print head assembly configured for printing in the print zone. The print head assembly includes a print head chip carrier having an arcuate edge portion, wherein the radius of curvature of the arcuate edge portion is similar to the radius of curvature of the feed rollers, thereby allowing the print head chip carrier to extend into the print zone. The proximity of the print zone to the feed rollers results in a closely controlled paper to print head gap and more accurate deposition of ink drops. A printer and a method of printing are also provided.
