Abstract

A printhead assembly includes an ink manifold having a plurality of ink outlets defined in a manifold bonding surface; one or more printhead integrated circuits, each printhead integrated circuit having a plurality of ink inlets defined in a printhead bonding surface; and an adhesive film sandwiched between said manifold bonding surface and said one or more printhead bonding surfaces, said film having a plurality of ink supply holes defined therein, each ink supply hole being aligned with an ink outlet and an ink inlet. The adhesive film is a laminated film comprising a central polymeric film sandwiched between a first adhesive layer and a second adhesive layer, the first adhesive layer has a melt temperature lower than that of the second adhesive layer.
