Abstract: A page width printhead assembly (1) for a digital inkjet printer has a support member that can be secured in the printer, and a printhead (2) that can be mounted to the support member. The support member has a core with at least one ink reservoir (6, 7, 8 and 9) enclosed within a laminated shell (4). The materials and structure of the shell (4) and the core (5) are selected and configured so that the co-efficient of thermal expansion of the support member as a whole is substantially equal to that of the printhead (2).

Abstract: A printhead assembly with an elongate support member and two or more printhead modules detachably mounted in series along the support member, the support member having a structural component for strengthening the member, and a mounting component for mounting the printhead modules; wherein, the mounting component is connected to the structural component to allow relative thermal expansion. By allowing the structural component of the support to thermally expand relative to the mounting component, the structural components can be strong, inexpensive metal despite the co-efficient of thermal expansion (CTE). Only the mounting component need approximate the CTE of the printhead chips to maintain a suitable alignment of the modules.

Abstract: Provided is an alumina sintered body including not less than 99.3% by weight of Al2O3, not more than 0.25% by weight of SiO2, not more than 0.3% by weight of MgO, and not more than 0.3% by weight of CaO, and having a surface open porosity of less than 5%, and an average open pore diameter of not more than 5 nullm. This alumina sintered body is applied to at least a surface exposed to ink in an ink jet recording head structure. This suppresses the elution of glass component of the alumina sintered body into ink, thereby stabilizing ink viscosity. This also suppresses falling of grains that causes clogging of ink discharge holes.

Abstract: An inkjet printhead lid has a light opacity component and a laser light transparent component molded together in two shots in an injection molding chamber. The laser light transparency component has a periphery that extends beyond a periphery of the light opacity component on substantially all sides thereof. An inkjet printhead body laser welds to the laser light transparency component in an area between the peripheries of the two lid components. Inkjet printers for containing the printhead are also disclosed. In the molding chamber, two sources of injection molding materials inject a first and then a second mold to mold the two lid components together. One of the two sources of injection molding materials has laser light transparency characteristics while the other has light opacity characteristics. Mechanical interlocking features may also exist in both of the two lid components.

Abstract: A head unit is inverted so that an outflow port is in the lowest position. Because the top wall of the buffer tank slopes downwards towards the outflow port, all remaining cleaning fluid that was introduced during manufacture is removed. Also, a notch is provided in the bottom end of an ink introduction port. The notch faces towards the outflow port so that bubbles in the ink exit from the notch and are guided towards the outflow port. The head unit is shipped while the buffer tank is filled with preservation fluid that has high wettability and any openings to the outside air are closed off with covers. When the head unit is used, the preservation fluid is sucked by a purging device and then ink, which has a high affinity for the preservation fluid, is smoothly introduced. Also, the inner surface of the filters are treated to increase the wettability by ink after the filters are fixed to the bottom lid. Afterwards the bottom lid is fixed to the top lid to form the buffer tank.

Abstract translation: 头单元被倒置，使得流出口处于最低位置。 因为缓冲罐的顶壁朝向流出口向下倾斜，所以在制造期间引入的所有剩余的清洁流体被去除。 此外，在墨水引入口的底端设有凹口。 凹口面向流出口，使得墨中的气泡从凹口中流出并被引导到流出口。 在缓冲罐装满了具有高润湿性的保存液体的情况下，头部单元被运送，并且外部空气的任何开口被盖封闭。 当使用头单元时，通过清洗装置吸收保存液，然后平滑地引入对保存液具有高亲和力的油墨。 另外，在将过滤器固定在底盖之后，处理过滤器的内表面以增加油墨的润湿性。 之后将底盖固定在顶盖上形成缓冲罐。
