Abstract

An inkjet printhead assembly includes a carrier and a plurality of printhead dies each mounted on the carrier. Each of the printhead dies has a nozzle region including a nominal nozzle region and an alignment nozzle region disposed laterally of the nominal nozzle region such that the nozzle region and, more specifically, the nominal and alignment nozzle regions facilitate alignment between the printhead dies.
