ABSTRACT:
A printing assembly has a printing unit and an inert gas supply that supplies an inert gas, such as nitrogen, to components of the printing unit during a printing operation. The inert gas environment prevents oxidation of any high temperature components of the printing unit, such as thermal actuators of a printhead chip.
