Abstract
A printhead assembly includes a member which cooperates with other printer structure to hold the printhead assembly in the printer An elongated printhead has a linear array of print elements that extend across at least a substantial portion of an image so as to produce a print line with a predetermined contour. The member and the mount are adjustably connected along the length of the printhead to locally vary the space between the mount and the member, whereby the shape of the printhead can be changed to adjust the contour of the print line.
