- Silicon printhead chips are well suited for use in pagewidth printers having stationary
- printheads These printhead chips extend the width of a page instead of traversing back and
- the printhead may be configured to reduce the production and operating costs of pagewidth printers.
- each module precisely abuts the printing from adjacent modules.
- the present invention provides a system for aligning two or more printhead modules mounted to a support member in a printer, the system including: positioning the printhead modules on the support member such that they align when
- the support member is at its operating temperature but not necessarily at other temperatures.
- the support member is a beam and the printhead modules include MEMS
- the fiducials are used to misalign the printhead modules by a distance calculated from:
- the beam may have a core of silicon and an outer metal shell.
- the beam is adapted to allow limited relative movement
- the beam may include an
- the elastomeric layer interposed between the silicon core and metal shell.
- outer shell may be formed from laminated layers of at least two different metals. It will be appreciated that this system requires the coefficient of thermal expansion of
