Abstract
An inkjet printer includes: a print engine having a cradle for receiving a removable printhead cartridge; an ink inlet manifold for supplying ink to a printhead cartridge; and an ink outlet manifold for receiving ink from the printhead cartridge. The printhead cartridge includes: a cartridge body configured for user insertion and removal from the ink jet printer; a pagewidth printhead housed in the cartridge body, the pagewidth printhead defining an array of nozzles for ejecting ink onto a media substrate; a first fluid coupling in fluid communication with the pagewidth printhead; and a second fluid coupling in fluid communication with the pagewidth printhead. The first and second fluid couplings establish fluid communication with the ink inlet manifold and ink outlet manifold respectively, upon insertion of the cartridge body in the cradle.
