Abstract
A print assembly for pagewidth inkjet printing that includes an elongate carrier that is mountable on a support structure of a printer in an operative position with respect to a platen of the printer. A number of printhead chips are positioned on the carrier. The printhead chips together define a printhead that is configured to eject at least one billion drops per second into a printing zone defined between the printhead and the platen of the printer. Control circuitry is also positioned on the carrier and is configured to control operation of the printhead chips.
