A method of supplying liquid ink to a printhead assembly including a carrier, a printhead die mounted on the carrier, and a fluid delivery assembly communicated with the carrier includes communicating a fluid manifold of the carrier with the printhead die, communicating the fluid delivery assembly with the fluid manifold of the carrier, and filling the fluid delivery assembly with a quantity of the liquid ink, including purging air from the fluid delivery assembly through a filter, wherein the filter includes a frame having an opening and a fluid passage communicated with the opening formed therein, filter material enclosing the opening and the fluid passage of the frame, first and second fluid ports communicated with the fluid passage, and a permeable material communicated with the first fluid port.

Filter for printhead assembly

A filter for a printhead assembly includes a frame having an opening formed therein, filter material enclosing the opening of the frame, and a fluid fitting associated with the frame, the fluid fitting including a fluid port offset from the frame and a fluid passage communicated with the opening of the frame and the fluid port.
