Abstract

Described is an inkjet printhead includes a two-dimensional array of drop ejectors arranged as a plurality of columns, each column including a plurality of banks, and each bank including a plurality of groups that each include a plurality of drop ejectors. The drop ejectors in each group are substantially aligned along a first direction. The groups in each bank are spaced from each other along the first direction and are offset from each other along a second direction. The banks in each column are spaced from each other along the first direction and are offset from each other along the second direction. The columns are offset from each other along the second direction. The two-dimensional array has a width W along the first direction and a length L greater than W along the second direction. Each drop ejector includes a nozzle, an ink inlet, a pressure chamber and an actuator.
