Abstract
A printing mechanism is provided comprising an elongate support structure having ink distribution structures, print engine controllers and busbars mounted thereon. 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. Flexible connectors connect the printhead integrated circuits to the print engine controllers. The print engine controllers are configured to control operation of a number of the printhead integrated circuits by transmitting data signals thereto via the flexible connectors. The busbars transmit electrical power to the print engine controllers and the printhead integrated circuits.
