Patent ID: 7891766

Claim:
A printhead comprising a plurality of types of printheads modules, wherein each type is an integrated circuit determined by its geometric shape in plan so that the combination of the determined module types forms the printhead to extend and print across a pagewidth, wherein each integrated circuit has a plurality of adjacent rows of printhead nozzles, at least one of the integrated circuits having a triangle-shaped portion of nozzles extending at an acute angle to a direction of intended movement of print media relative to the printhead and displaced from the rest of the nozzles in the rows at one end of the rows of that integrated circuit, such that each row of the printhead nozzles defined across the determined types of modules includes said displaced portion, wherein the displaced portion of a nozzle row in the plurality of nozzle rows is aligned with the rest portion of nozzles in an adjacent nozzle row along the extension direction of the printhead.
