Abstract:
1. An inkjet printhead comprising: a housing; an aperture plate having a plurality of apertures in an aperture area through which inkjet ejectors eject ink onto media as the media moves past the printheads in a first direction; and a pair of members extending from a surface of the housing, each member extending along a length of the aperture area and being on a side of the aperture area opposite another side of the aperture area along which the other member extends, each member having a first end, a second end and a length between the first end and the second end that is aligned with the first direction, and each member in the pair of members having a ramp at the first end of the member that slopes from the surface of the housing to a surface of the member that is vertically displaced from the surface of the housing and the ramp extends along a portion, but not all, of the length of the member to enable the ramp to engage a leading edge of media moving in the first direction to be lifted by the ramp to the vertically displaced surface of the member before the leading edge reaches the plurality of apertures.
