Abstract

Flow features in an inkjet printhead (10). The flow features can include a plurality of first channels, each of the plurality of first channels having a first length and positioned to fluidly communicate with an ink reservoir, and each of the plurality of first channels (42) terminating in a first nozzle (22a). The flow features can further include a plurality of second channels (46), each of the plurality of second channels having a second length greater than the first length and positioned to fluidly communicate with the ink reservoir, each of the plurality of second channels terminating in a second nozzle (22b), each second nozzle being larger than each first nozzle.
