Abstract
An inkjet printing apparatus includes an array of inkjet print heads, wherein each print head has at least one ink port for receiving ink, at least one nozzle for directing ink onto a substrate to be printed, and at least one control terminal for receiving a supply voltage and/or control signals. A print head mounting element positions the print heads in a defined orientation relative to each other. An electrical supply unit extending over the array is connected to the control terminals of all of the print heads, and can supply a supply voltage and/or print head specific control signals to all of the print heads in common. A mechanical supply unit extending over the array is connected to the ink ports of all of the print heads, and can supply ink to all of the print heads in common.
