An inkjet printhead includes: an elongate manifold having through-holes defined through a thickness of the manifold and ink supply channels extending along a length of the manifold. First and second rows of butting print chips are mounted to a lower face of the manifold and receive ink from the ink supply channels. A first PCB is mounted to lower face of the manifold between the first and second rows of print chips. The first PCB receives power and data via the through-holes from a second PCB and the first PCB distributes the power and data to both the first and second rows of butting print chips at either side thereof.

An inkjet nozzle device includes a main chamber having a floor, a roof and a perimeter wall enclosing the main chamber. The main chamber includes: a firing chamber having a nozzle aperture defined in the roof and a bar heater for ejection of ink through the nozzle aperture; an antechamber for supplying ink to the firing chamber, the antechamber having a chamber inlet defined in the floor; and a baffle plate extending parallel with the bar heater, which partitions the main chamber to define the firing chamber and the antechamber. The nozzle device has mirror symmetry about a symmetry plane extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the bar heater and the baffle plate.

An inkjet printhead includes an elongate manifold having an upper face and a lower face, ink supply channels extending along a length of the manifold, and first and second rows of butting print chips mounted to the lower face of the manifold. A stiffener plate is fastened to the upper face of the manifold, wherein the manifold is comprised of a moldable first material and the stiffener plate has a higher degree of stiffness than the manifold. The stiffener plate is formed of a second material different than the first material.

An inkjet printhead includes: an elongate manifold having a longitudinal central portion extending along a central longitudinal axis of the printhead; first and second longitudinal channel portions extending along respective longitudinal axes at opposite sides of the central portion; and first and second rows of butting print chips mounted to a base of the manifold, the first row of print chips extending along the first channel portion and the second row of print chips extending along the opposite second channel portion. Each of the first and second channel portions extends beyond the central portion at opposite ends of the manifold, such that respective opposite ends of the manifold have a re-entrant profile configured for complementary interleaving of a plurality of said printheads.
