ABSTRACT:
A printhead assembly for a wide format inkjet printer includes an elongate support structure that spans a print media feed path. An ink supply assembly is mounted on the support structure and extends a length of the support structure. A plurality of printhead modules is mounted along the support structure, in an end-to-end manner, and in fluid communication with the ink supply assembly. Each printhead module incorporates an elongate printhead chip. The printhead modules are positioned on the support structure so that the printhead chips are capable of carrying out a printing operation on print media passing along the print media feed path. A plurality of print control arrangements is mounted on the support structure. Each print control arrangement is configured to control a number of the printhead chips and each printhead module includes a flexible data connector that interconnects each printhead chip of said number to the print control arrangement to facilitate relative angular orientation of the printhead modules and the print control arrangement.
