Abstract
A printbar cooling device for cooling an array of print dies substantially eliminates thermal gradients along the length of the array of print dies through use of a parallel flow cooling configuration where each point along the array is in thermal contact with coolant at the same temperature. Coolant is directed away from the array of print dies to a common coolant outlet.
