Abstract:
A hierarchically aligned inkjet printhead includes a plurality of printhead units and a base holding the printhead units. Each printhead unit includes a plurality of drop ejector array devices, each of which includes at least one drop ejector array; a first butting edge having a first mechanical alignment feature; and a second butting edge having a second mechanical alignment feature. Each printhead unit includes an ink manifold that is fluidically connected to each of the plurality of drop ejector array devices in the printhead unit; and a mounting member to which the drop ejector array devices are affixed. A pair of opposing alignment edges of each printhead unit are substantially parallel to the butting edges of the drop ejector array devices. A first of the opposing alignment edges includes an outwardly-extending projection, and a second of the opposing alignment edges includes a niche that is substantially complementary to the projection.

Claim (Index 11):
The hierarchically aligned inkjet printhead of  claim 1 , wherein the mounting member of each printhead unit includes:\n a plurality of groups of ink passages, each group including at least one ink passage, wherein each group of ink passages corresponds to one of the plurality of drop ejector array devices; at least one interior bridge, each interior bridge being disposed between adjacent groups of ink passages and configured to provide a sealing surface for a first butting edge of a first drop ejector array device and for a second butting edge of an adjacent drop ejector array device; a first endmost bridge configured to provide a sealing surface for an endmost first butting edge; and a second endmost bridge configured to provide a sealing surface for an endmost second butting edge.
