MULTI-CHIP PRINTHEAD ARRAY WITH REDUCED NOZZLE OFFSET

A pagewide array of inkjet printheads arranged to reduce nozzle offset. The row of nozzles of each printhead are formed adjacent an edge of the semiconductor chip. Each alternate printhead chip is rotated 180 degrees with regard to its neighbor, thereby reducing the nozzle offset. A smaller nozzle o...

Summary:A pagewide array of inkjet printheads arranged to reduce nozzle offset. The row of nozzles of each printhead are formed adjacent an edge of the semiconductor chip. Each alternate printhead chip is rotated 180 degrees with regard to its neighbor, thereby reducing the nozzle offset. A smaller nozzle offset minimizes the dot displacement error should the print medium be skewed with respect to the array of printheads.
