Abstract

A printhead assembly includes an elongate casing. The casing defines a printhead channel extending there-along. A static pagewidth printhead is received within the printhead channel. The printhead includes an elongate fluid channel member defining a plurality of ducts for storing respective types of ink. The printhead further includes printhead tiles bearing respective printheads configured to eject ink supplied from the fluid channel member. The tiles are shaped to serially engage together so that adjacent printheads overlap along the length of the fluid channel member.
