Patent ID: 8777376

Claim:
A micro-fluid ejection head, comprising: a plurality of ejection chips configured adjacently across a media to-be-imaged to create in a first direction a lengthy micro-fluid array, each chip having: pluralities of fluid vias substantially skewed at an angle relative to the first direction; pluralities of firing elements that are configured along respective fluid vias of the pluralities of fluid vias; at least two fluid vias each eject a different color ink and are identically located in a direction perpendicular to the first direction and differently located in the first direction, and wherein a planar periphery of each chip defines a rhomboid and short sides thereof parallel the first direction of the lengthy micro-fluid array, the pluralities of firing elements having at least two firing elements overlapping one another in groupings of like colors along pluralities of ink vias configured for differently-colored inks, the overlapping occurring in the direction perpendicular to the first direction.
