Abstract
An inkjet printer includes an array of overlapping printheads. Each printhead having includes a first row of butting print chips connected to a first PCB and a parallel second row of butting print chips connected to a second PCB, the first and second rows of butting print chips having 180 degree rotational symmetry. A first printhead in the array is positioned in a first orientation relative to a media path and a neighboring second printhead in the array is positioned in an opposite second orientation relative to the media path. Data signals corresponding to a first color plane are distributed only via the first PCB of the first printhead and data signals corresponding to the first color plane are distributed only via the second PCB of the second printhead.
