A method of making an inkjet printhead comprising providing a substrate having first and second opposite surfaces, providing a support member, bonding the second surface of the substrate to the support member, and, after the substrate and support member are bonded together, forming a plurality of ink ejection elements on the first surface of the substrate, the method further including forming communicating ink supply slots passing respectively through the substrate and support member to provide fluid communication between an ink supply and the ink ejection elements.

Inkjet printheads

A method of making an inkjet print cartridge comprises forming a cartridge body () and applying directly to the surface of the body first and second sets of electrical terminals () selectively connected by conductive tracks (). A printhead () is mounted to the body () in electrical connection with the first set of terminals (). The second set of terminals () is adapted for electrical connection to printer circuitry. The electrical terminals and conductive tracks may be located in corresponding recesses in the cartridge body, being deposited therein by squeegee or inkjet printing.
