     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     The Applicant has developed a wide range of printers that employ pagewidth printheads instead of traditional reciprocating printhead designs. Pagewidth designs increase print speeds as the printhead does not traverse back and forth across the page to deposit a line of an image. The pagewidth printhead simply deposits the ink on the media as it moves past at high speeds. Such printheads have made it possible to perform full colour 1600 dpi printing at speeds in the vicinity of 60 pages per minute; speeds previously unattainable with conventional inkjet printers. 
     Printing at these speeds consumes ink quickly and this gives rise to problems with supplying the printhead with enough ink. Not only are the flow rates higher but distributing the ink along the entire length of a pagewidth printhead is more complex than feeding ink to a relatively small reciprocating printhead. 
     The high print speeds require a large ink supply flow rate. This mass of ink is moving relatively quickly through the supply line. Abruptly ending a print job, or simply at the end of a printed page, means that this relatively high volume of ink that is flowing relatively quickly must also come to an immediate stop. However, suddenly arresting the ink momentum gives rise to a pressure pulse in the ink line. The components making up the printhead are typically stiff and provide almost no flex as the column of ink in the line is brought to rest. Without any compliance in the ink line, the pressure spike can exceed the Laplace pressure (the pressure provided by the surface tension of the ink at the nozzles openings to retain ink in the nozzle chambers) and flood the front surface of the printhead nozzles. If the nozzles flood, ink may not eject and artifacts appear in the printing. 
     Resonant standing waves in the ink occur when the nozzle firing pattern matches a resonant frequency of the ink supply line. Again, because of the stiff structures that define the ink line, a large proportion of nozzles for one color, firing simultaneously, can create a standing wave in the ink line. For example, printing spaced black lines for, say, a table of data, will fire many, if not most, of the black nozzles at a particular frequency. If this particular frequency matches a resonant frequency of the ink supply structure, a standing wave can start oscillating back and forth. This can result in nozzle flooding, or conversely nozzle deprime because of the sudden pressure drop after the spike, if the Laplace pressure is exceeded. 
     The Applicant has addressed these issues by incorporating non-priming cavities into the printhead. A detailed description of the non-priming cavities is provided in the Applicant&#39;s co-pending U.S. Ser. No. 11/688,863, the contents of which is incorporated herein by reference. Briefly, the stiff structures that define the ink line have air pockets distributed long the length of the printhead. A pressure pulse from a resonant standing wave in the ink will compress the air in the cavity as it passes that point in the ink line. Compressing the air in the cavity damps and dissipates the pressure pulse. The reduced pulse amplitude is less likely to flood the nozzles. 
     Unfortunately, the lowest resonant frequencies of the ink line have the highest pressure amplitudes. To damp these pressure waves, the non-priming cavities need to be impractically large. A series of large air pockets positioned along the ink line is counter to compact design. Furthermore, diurnal heating and cooling of big air cavities would either pump a large volume of ink out through the nozzles, or deprime the nozzles by drawing ink back into the support molding. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     Accordingly, the present invention provides a printhead for an inkjet printer, the printhead comprising: 
     at least one printhead integrated circuit (IC) with an array of nozzles for ejecting ink; 
     a support structure for supporting the printhead IC, the support structure having an ink conduit for supplying the array of nozzles with ink, the conduit having a set of resonant frequencies at which ink in the conduit generates a standing wave in response to certain operating modes of the array of nozzles; and, 
     a fluidic damper having a selected resonant frequency that damps the standing waves associated with each of the set of resonant frequencies such that they have an amplitude less than a maximum threshold. 
     The invention recognizes that particular resonant frequencies are more problematic than others. Typically, the lowest frequency harmonic causes an oscillating pulse with the highest amplitude. However, tuning the fluidic damper precisely to the frequency of the lowest harmonic changes the amplitude of the standing waves at the other frequencies and the next lowest harmonic can then be a problem. Tuning the damper to resonate at a frequency between the two lowest resonant frequencies can sufficiently damp the pressure amplitudes at all the resonant frequencies. The fluid damper uses a single thin tube of ink acting against a compliant structure such as an air cavity. The tube of ink and the air cavity are far more compact than a line of large air cavities along the length of the printhead. Similarly, expansion and contraction of the single small air cavity due to diurnal temperature changes are not problematic. 
     Preferably, the selected resonant frequency of the fluidic damper is between the two lowest resonant frequencies in the set of resonant frequencies. In a further preferred form, the selected resonant frequency is the root mean square of the two lowest resonant frequencies in the set of resonant frequencies—that is, the square root of the product of the lowest two frequencies. 
     Preferably, the fluidic damper has a cavity of compressible fluid connected to the ink conduit via a tube configured to at least partially prime with ink when the printhead primes. In a further preferred form, the compressible fluid is air trapped when the printhead is primed with ink. In particular embodiments, the printhead is a pagewidth printhead for printing on A4-sized media, the ink line having a main channel extending longitudinally along the length of the printhead between the inlet and the outlet, the ink line also having a series of non-priming air cavities positioned along its length. 
     In specific embodiments, the support structure has an inlet for connecting the ink line to an ink supply, and an outlet for connecting the ink line to a waste ink reservoir, the fluidic damper being connected to the ink line adjacent the outlet. Preferably, the fluidic damper has less than 0.4 ml of air. 
     Optionally, the maximum threshold pressure is less than 4 kPa. Optionally, the ink pressure at the array of nozzles is maintained above −3 kPa to avoid deprime and keep ejected drop volumes above a minimum volume. 
     In a particularly preferred form, the printhead is configured to print different colored inks, each ink color having a respective fluidic damper, the fluidic damper for one color having a resonant frequency that differs from at least one of the other colors.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
       FIG. 1  is a schematic view of a prior art fluidic system of the type used in the above referenced U.S. Ser. No. 11/688,863. The operation of the system and its individual components are described in detail in U.S. Ser. No. 11/872,719, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. 
     Briefly, the printer fluidic system has a printhead assembly  2  supplied with ink from an ink tank  4  via an upstream ink line  8  and waste ink is drained to a sump  18  via a downstream ink line  16 . A single ink line is shown for simplicity. In reality, the printhead has multiple ink lines for full colour printing. The upstream ink line  8  has a shut off valve  10  for selectively isolating the printhead assembly  2  from the pump  12  and or the ink tank  4 . The pump  12  is used to actively prime or flood the printhead assembly  2 . The pump  12  is also used to establish a negative pressure in the ink tank  4 . During printing, the negative pressure is maintained by the bubble point regulator  6 . 
     The printhead assembly  2  is an LCP (liquid crystal polymer) molding  20  supporting a series of printhead ICs  30  secured with an adhesive die attach film (not shown). The printhead ICs  30  have an array of ink ejection nozzles for ejecting drops of ink onto the passing media substrate  22 . The nozzles are MEMS (micro electromechanical) structures printing at true 1600 dpi resolution (that is, a nozzle pitch of 1600 npi), or greater. The fabrication and structure of suitable printhead IC&#39;s  30  are described in detail in U.S. Ser. No. 11/246,687 the contents of which are incorporated by reference. The LCP molding  20  has a main channel  24  extending between the inlet  36  and the outlet  38 . The main channel  24  feeds a series of fine channels  28  extending to the underside of the LCP molding  20 . The fine channels  28  supply ink to the printhead ICs  30  through laser ablated holes in the die attach film. 
     Above the main channel  24  is a series of non-priming air cavities  26 . These cavities  26  are designed to trap a pocket of air during printhead priming. The air pockets give the system some compliance to absorb and damp pressure spikes or hydraulic shocks in the ink. The printers are high speed pagewidth printers with a large number of nozzles firing rapidly. This consumes ink at a fast rate and suddenly ending a print job, or even just the end of a page, means that a column of ink moving towards (and through) the printhead assembly  2  must be brought to rest almost instantaneously. Without the compliance provided by the air cavities  26 , the momentum of the ink would flood the nozzles in the printhead ICs  30 . Furthermore, the subsequent ‘reflected wave’ can generate a negative pressure strong enough to deprime the nozzles. 
     In the majority of cases, the air cavities  26  offer sufficient damping. However, the printhead can operate in modes that excite the ink to one of the resonant frequencies of the ink line. For example, printing black lines across a page at a particular spacing (for a table, bar code or the like) requires all the black nozzles to fire simultaneously for brief periods. This cyclic input to the ink line can quickly establish a standing wave oscillating at a resonant frequency. The peak to peak pressures of these standing waves can overwhelm the damping provided by the air cavities  26  and flood or deprime the nozzles. The volume of the air cavities would need to be greatly increased in order to accommodate the peak pressures of the standing waves. 
       FIGS. 2A ,  2 B and  2 C, show the three lowest harmonics for printhead assembly shown in  FIG. 1 . It should be noted that the main channel responds as if it is a blind end even though it has the outlet  38 . Because it is a closed end, the main channel resonates with a quarter wave harmonic, a three quarter wave harmonic, a 1.25 wave harmonic and so on. An open end would resonate at 0.5 wave, full wave, 1.5 wave and so on. The lowest harmonics have the highest amplitude standing waves and therefore, are the most problematic. If these harmonics occur at frequencies at which the printhead can operate, there is the potential for pressure pulses above the flooding threshold and below the deprime threshold. Nozzle flooding or deprime occurs when the ink pressure exceeds the Laplace pressure of the ink meniscus across the nozzle aperture. Obviously, this will depend on nozzle geometry (as well as other factors such as operating temperature). 
       FIG. 2A  is the lowest frequency harmonic; the quarter wave, in which the length L of the LCP main channel is one quarter the wavelength. Testing on some of the Applicant&#39;s A4 printers has shown this to occur at about 12 Hz and has a peak amplitude of about 9 kPa. The next harmonic is the 0.75 wave shown in  FIG. 2B . It has a lower amplitude (approx. 5 kPa) and occurs at 36 Hz. Finally, the 1.25 wave is shown in  FIG. 2C  which has an amplitude of about 2 kPa at 60 Hz. As the frequency of the harmonic increases, the amplitude of the wave rapidly attenuates. Hence the higher frequency harmonics have peak pressures small enough for the non-priming air cavities to damp. 
       FIG. 3A  shows these pressure peaks as function of frequency. If the deprime and flood thresholds are set at, say, −3 kPa and 4 kPa respectively, it can be seen that the quarter wave and three quarter wave harmonics have peak pressures that will be problematic for printer operation. However, incorporating a damper that resonates at the quarter wave frequency does not solve the problem.  FIG. 3B  shows the change in the frequency response curves when a fluidic damper tuned to the quarter wave is added to the end of the main channel  24  (see  FIG. 1 ). Essentially the main channel now responds as if it were an open channel and the half wave, full wave etc harmonics become relevant. One or more of these harmonics may also generate excessive peak pressures. 
       FIG. 3C  shows the frequency response when the fluidic damper is tuned to a frequency between the quarter and half wave harmonics. This attenuates both the quarter and half wave harmonics. The Applicant has found that the optimum resonant frequency for the fluidic damper is approximately the root mean square of the quarter wave frequency and the half wave frequency; that is, the square root of the product of the quarter wave resonant frequency and the half wave resonant frequency. In reality, it is necessary to test several frequencies around the root mean square frequency to find to the optimum resonant frequency for the fluidic damper. Irregularities such as ink filters, bends and elasticity in the ink supply line and so on shift the actual pressure response curves from the theoretical curves. 
       FIG. 4  is a schematic representation of the printhead assembly  2  according to the present invention. The LCP molding  20  has a fluidic damper  40  that resonates at a frequency selected to attenuate potentially problematic standing waves at any of the resonant frequencies of the main channel  24 . The fluidic damper  40  has a thin tube  32  filled with ink connecting the main channel  24  to a small cavity of compressible fluid  34 —most typically air. The thin tube of ink has an inertance proportional to its length, cross sectional area and density of the ink. The air cavity is a compliance against which the ink in the thin tube  32  can oscillate. 
     In the printhead assembly shown, the fluidic damper is tuned to a frequency at or near the root mean square of the quarter wave and the half wave resonant frequency of the main channel  24  in the LCP molding  20 . As discussed above, the impedance provided by the damper at the quarter and half wave harmonics is sufficient to keep both of them less than the predetermined pressure threshold. Positioning the fluidic damper  40  adjacent the outlet  38  of the main channel  24  is most effective as it transmits the majority of the standing wave and the reflected wave is small. 
     The invention will now be described with reference to the Applicant&#39;s printhead cartridge and print engine shown in  FIGS. 5 and 6 . A printhead cartridge recognizes that individual ink ejection nozzles may fail over time and eventually there are enough dead nozzles to cause artifacts in the printed image. Allowing the user to replace the printhead maintains the print quality without requiring the entire printer to be replaced. The print engine  3  is the mechanical heart of a printer which can have many different external casing shapes, ink tank locations and capacities, as well as different media feed and collection trays. 
       FIG. 5  shows a printhead cartridge  2  installed in a print engine  3 . The printhead cartridge  2  is inserted and removed by the user lifting and lowering the latch  126 . The print engine  3  forms an electrical connection with contacts on the printhead cartridge  2  and fluid couplings  120  are formed at the inlet and outlet manifolds,  48  and  50  respectively. 
       FIG. 6  shows the print engine  3  with the printhead cartridge removed to reveal the apertures  122  in the fluid couplings  120 . The apertures  122  engage spouts on the inlet and outlet manifolds ( 48  and  50  of  FIG. 5 ). The fluid couplings  120  connect the inlet manifold to an ink tank, and the outlet manifold to a sump. As discussed above, the ink tanks, media feed and collection trays have an arbitrary position and configuration relative to the print engine  3  depending on the design of the printer&#39;s outer casing. 
       FIG. 7  shows the printhead assembly  2  as a printhead cartridge for user insertion and removal from the printer body (see  FIG. 6 ). The printhead cartridge  2  has a top molding  44  and a removable protective cover  42 . The top molding  44  has a central web for structural stiffness and to provide textured grip surfaces  58  for manipulating the cartridge during insertion and removal. The base portion of the protective cover  42  protects the printhead ICs (not shown) and line of contacts (not shown) prior to installation in the printer. Caps  56  are integrally formed with the base portion and cover the ink inlets and outlets (see  54  and  52  of  FIG. 9 ). 
       FIG. 8  shows the printhead assembly  2  with its protective cover  42  removed to expose the printhead ICs on the bottom surface and the line of contacts  33  on the side surface. The protective cover is discarded to the recycling waste or fitted to the printhead cartridge being replaced to contain leakage from residual ink.  FIG. 9  is a partially exploded perspective of the printhead assembly  2 . The top cover  44  has been removed reveal the inlet manifold  48  and the outlet manifold  50 . The inlet and outlet shrouds  46  and  47  have been removed to better expose the five inlet and outlet conduits,  52  and  54  respectively. The inlet and outlet manifolds  48  and  50  form a fluid connection between each of the individual inlets and outlets and the corresponding main channel  24  (see  FIG. 11 ) in the LCP molding  20 . As discussed above, the main channels extend beneath the line of non-priming air cavities  26 . 
       FIG. 10  is an exploded perspective of the printhead assembly without the inlet or outlet manifolds or the top cover molding. The main channels  24  for each ink color and their associated air cavities  26  are formed in the channel molding  68  and the cavity molding  72 . Adhered to the bottom of the channel molding  68  is a die attach film  66 . As discussed above in relation to  FIG. 1 , the die attach film  66  mounts the printhead ICs  30  to the channel molding such that the fine channels on the underside of the are in fluid communication with the printhead ICs  30  via small laser ablated holes through the film. 
     Flex PCB  70  is adhered to the side of the air cavity molding  72  and wraps around to the underside of the channel molding  68 . The printer controller connects to the lines of contacts  33 . At the other side of the flex PCB  70  is a line of wire bonds  64  to electrically connect the conductors in the flex  70  to each of the printhead ICs  30 . The wire bonds  64  are covered in encapsulant  62  which is profiled to have a predominantly flat outer surface. On the other side of the air cavity molding  72  is a paper guide  74  to direct sheets of media substrate past the printhead ICs at a predetermined spacing. 
       FIGS. 11A ,  1 B and  1 C show the outlet manifold  50  detached from the rest of the printhead cartridge. Interface plate  76  has outlet spouts  54  for connection to the ink sump housed in the printer body. The coupling  60  connects to each of the main channels  24  in the channel molding  68  (see  FIG. 10 ). As shown in  FIGS. 11B and 11C , the inner side of the interface plate  76  supports the thin inks tubes  32  and the air cavities  34  for the respective main channels. The ink line outlets  38  connect to the thin tubes  32  immediately before the air cavities  34 . The air cavities  34  and the thin tubes  32  are sealed from each other with the heat sealable foil  78  applied to the back of the outlet manifold  50 . The foil  78  is heat sealed around the entire perimeter of the five air cavities and ink tubes as it is essential that they are completely sealed from each other. To ensure the seal is not compromised during use, the heat seal resists internal pressure to 100 kPa. 
     When the printhead assembly primes, the ink flows through the thin tube  32  as far the outlet  38  only. The length of the ink column in the thin tube, the diameter of the tube and the properties of the ink determine an inertance for the ink in the tube. The inertance is equates to the dash-pot in the equivalent mechanical damper and the inductor in an electrical damper. The volume of the air cavity is relatively small; less than 0.4 ml, and typically between 0.15 ml and 0.3 ml. This provides to the spring in a mechanical damper or the capacitor in the corresponding electrical circuit. 
     As the main channels  24  of the channel molding  68  have slightly different configurations, the resonant frequencies are likewise different. Accordingly, the fluidic dampers for each main channel  24  are tuned to resonate at different frequencies for optimum damping of each ink line. 
     The invention has been described herein by way of example only. Skilled workers in this field will readily recognize many variations and modifications that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the broad inventive concept.
