Abstract

A manifold assembly for a fluid-ejection device having multiple-fluid type fluid-ejection printheads organized in a page-wide array includes a lower-most deck and an upper-most deck. The lower-most deck is to supply a first type of fluid and a second type of fluid to the fluid-ejection printheads. The first type of fluid and the second type of fluid are exterior-most fluids ejected by the fluid-ejection printheads in relation to a direction of media movement through the fluid-ejection device. The upper-most deck is to supply a third type of fluid and a fourth type of fluid to the fluid-ejection printheads. The third type of fluid and the fourth type of fluid are interior-most fluids ejected by the fluid-ejection printheads in relation to the direction of media movement through the fluid ejection device.
