An inkjet printing system includes: (a) an inkjet printhead having a rigid elongate manifold with first and second parallel ink supply channels extending along a length of the manifold between respective ink ports positioned at opposite ends thereof; and a plurality of printhead chips mounted to a lower surface of the manifold, the ink supply channels supplying ink to the printhead chips via ink outlets defined in the lower surface. One end of the manifold has a first ink inlet port for the first ink supply channel and an ink outlet port for the second ink supply channel. The other end of the manifold has a first ink outlet port for the first ink supply channel and a second ink inlet port for the second ink supply channel. An ink delivery system is configured to flow ink along the first and second channels in opposite directions.

Thermal regulation in long inkjet printhead

An aqueous-based inkjet ink for a thermal inkjet printhead includes: a pigment; 2 to 90 ppm ammonium ions; and an ink vehicle. The ink has a pH in the range of 8 to 9.5 and exhibits improved lifetime in thermal inkjet printheads with minimal loss of print quality.
