ABSTRACT:
A printer with a carriage adapted to receive a printhead capable of printing an ink at an effective nozzle density along a medium advance axis. The printhead includes a plurality of substantially parallel columnar arrays of nozzles, each columnar array having an actual nozzle density along the medium advance axis less than the effective nozzle density. An alignment structure in the carriage orients the printhead to print at the actual nozzle density along the medium advance axis such that individual nozzles in different ones of the columnar arrays can deposit ink on a print medium in a row substantially orthogonal to the medium advance axis.
