ABSTRACT:
A printing mechanism is provided comprising an elongate support structure. The support structure mounts ink distribution structures end-to-end. Printhead modules are mounted on the ink distribution structures. Each printhead module has a printhead integrated circuit mounted on a carrier. Each printhead integrated circuit has nozzle arrangements incorporating micro-electromechanical actuators for ejecting ink from respective ink chambers. The printhead integrated circuits are mounted to the support structure via the printhead modules and ink distribution structures so that the nozzle arrangements define a printing zone having a wide format length and a width of about 0.5 mm.
