  • air is blown on to the surface 752 of the nozzle guard 722 and, via inlet openings 756 from the channel 710 into the region 754.
  • the member 726 is a silicon wafer and, accordingly, the channels 728 and the inlet openings 736 to 742 are formed in the wafer by etching techniques. As described in the introduction to the specification, the spacing between the passages 734 and the wafer 724 is of the order of one hundred micrometers. In contrast, each ink inlet opening 736 to 742 has a length dimension L of approximately 0.5 millimeters. The spacing between adjacent inlet openings is also of the order of 0.5 millimeters. If one considers the width dimension of the printhead 516 as the X dimension with a length of the printhead as a Y dimension the ink supply member 726 effectively functions as an adapter converting a small X dimension into a much larger Y dimension. Accordingly, it is easier to fabricate the feed passages of the ink feed arrangement 702, which is a plastic molding, than would be the case if the ink feed arrangement fed the ink directly into the wafer 724 of the printhead 516.
