Abstract
A fluid manifold may include a number of blades and a number of end pieces securing the blades in place wherein the fluid manifold interfaces between a printhead die and a number of fluid source slots. A method of manufacturing a fluid manifold may include arranging a number of metal blades to form a relatively larger pitch between blades on a bottom side of the arranged blades than on a top side the arranged blades and mounting the arranged blades to a mounting structure formed to receive each blade as arranged.
