ABSTRACT:
A printhead assembly is provided comprising an ink supply structure, two ink path defining structures and a printhead integrated circuit. The supply structure defines an ink passage and holes in fluid communication with the passage. The first ink path structure defines an ink path formation and ink inlet openings on opposite sides which are in fluid communication. The first ink path and supply structures are engaged so that respective inlet openings and holes are in fluid communication. The second ink path structure defines an ink path formation and exit holes on opposite sides which are in fluid communication. The ink path structures are engaged so that the path formations define a tortuous ink path. The printhead integrated circuit has ink inlets that are mounted on the second ink path structure so that each inlet is in fluid communication with a respective exit hole.
