An inkjet printer is described. The inkjet printer has a substrate holder assembly that includes a base member having a long axis in a first direction and a short axis in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction; a contact member coupled to the base member, the contact member having a long axis in the first direction and a short axis in the second direction; a holder carriage coupled to the base member; a linear extender coupled between the base member and the contact member and extending in a third direction intersecting with the first direction and the second direction from the base member toward the contact member; and a flex member coupled to the base member, extending in the second direction between the linear extender and the contact member, and having a flex direction in a direction perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction.

Inkjet printer with substrate height position control

A printing system includes a substrate support, a printhead assembly positioned facing the substrate support, and an imager. The printhead assembly includes a plurality of dispensing nozzles extending in an ejection direction towards the substrate support and a plurality of marks. The imager is movable relative to the printhead assembly and oriented in a direction opposite to the ejection direction for capturing at least one image including the plurality of marks indicating positions of the plurality of dispensing nozzles in the printhead assembly.
