Abstract
An ink jet printer has a temperature sensor as a permanent part thereof. The temperature sensor is mounted on the translatable carriage of the printer. A replaceable printhead cartridge having a printhead bonded to a heat sink is installed on the translatable carriage. Once the printhead cartridge is installed on the translatable carriage, the temperature sensor is placed into intimate contact with printhead'heat sink, so that the temperature sensor moves with the printhead and provides continual temperature measurement.
