Abstract

In one example, a shroud to protect a group of printheads in a printhead assembly includes openings through which the printheads are exposed when the shroud is installed on the printhead assembly and an elongated protrusion along an exterior surface next to the openings to block print media from contacting the exposed part of the printheads during printing when the shroud is installed on the printhead assembly.
