Patent ID: 8616680

Claim:
A micro-fluid ejection head, comprising: a plurality of ejection chips configured adjacently across a media to-be-imaged to create a lengthy micro-fluid array in a first direction parallel to a leading edge of the media-to-be-imaged, each chip having pluralities of firing elements that are configured adjacently along corresponding ones of fluid vias collectively skewed at an angle relative to the first direction such that the pluralities of firing elements form a substantial line that is angularly skewed relative to the leading edge of the media to-be-imaged, and at least one firing element of one of the plurality of ejection chips and at least one firing element of another of the plurality of ejection chips are disposed along a line that extends in a direction of media advance so that the at least one firing element of the one ejection chip and the at least one firing element of the other ejection chip fire in an overlapping manner relative to one another as the media is fed past the pluralities of firing elements in the direction of media advance.
