ABSTRACT:
A print engine for a printer includes an elongate support frame. A pinch roller assembly is rotationally mounted relative to the support frame and can engage and feed the print media along a print media path. A pair of opposed print head assemblies is mounted on the elongate support frame and the print media path is defined between the print head assemblies. The printhead assemblies are configured to perform duplex printing on print media fed along the print media path. Each print head assembly includes a printhead module operatively mounted to the support frame and has a printhead configured to print ink onto the fed print media. The printhead module defines a plurality of ink galleries for storing respective types of ink to be printed by the printhead. A pair of end moldings is operatively mounted to the printhead module at either end of the support frame and defines tubular ink inlets in fluid communication with respective ink galleries.
