Abstract
A printhead assembly for an ink jet printer includes an elongate channel member having a floor and a pair of opposed side walls. An elongate elastomeric ink delivery member has longitudinally extending delivery conduits and is positioned on the floor. One end of the ink delivery member is engageable with an ink supply to the delivery conduits and an opposite end with a closure to close the ink delivery conduits. The ink delivery member defines a series of patterned holes in fluid communication with the ink delivery conduits. A series of printhead modules are releasably engaged with the elongate channel member to extend end-to-end along the channel member. Each printhead module includes an ink distribution structure in fluid communication with the series of patterned holes. A printhead integrated circuit is mounted on the ink distribution structure to receive ink from the ink distribution structure.
