A printer for printing on a print medium as said print medium advances through a print zone, the printer including a number of print heads extending over the print zone, each print head including at least one nozzle array wherein at least two adjacent nozzle arrays overlap forming at least one stitching zone in the overlap region; and a printer controller for generating a sequence of nozzle firing commands for each nozzle array to selectively deposit droplets of print fluid on said print medium from said nozzle arrays in accordance with an image to be printed, wherein the printer controller further applies masks having decorrelated patterns to said sequence of firing commands for at least those overlapping nozzles of the nozzle arrays coinciding with the at least one stitching zone to obtain a predetermined optical parameter of the printed image in the stitching zone, irrespective of an offset between two adjacent nozzle arrays.

Printheads and printers are described herein. In one example, a printhead includes a number of drop generators disposed in a first array and a second array. The drop generators in both the first array and the second array are spaced one dot pitch apart perpendicular to the motion of a print medium, and alternate between a high drop weight (HDW) drop generator and a low drop weight (LDW) drop generator. Each drop generator in the first array is in a line of the motion of the print medium with a corresponding drop generator in the second array, wherein each HDW drop generator in the first array is in line with an LDW drop generator in the second array, and each LDW drop generator in the first array is in line with an HDW drop generator in the second array.

In one example, a printing fluid delivery system for a printer is described. The printing fluid delivery system includes a plurality of interconnected printing fluid supply modules forming a page-wide printing fluid manifold to supply printing fluid from one or more cartridges to one or more printheads along a print bar in a printer.

A print module includes: a body housing first and second opposed printed circuit boards (PCBs), each of the first and second PCBs having heat-generating electronic components; an air inlet and an air outlet positioned towards an upper part of the body; an air pathway extending between the air inlet and the air outlet; a plurality of heatsinks, each heatsink being thermally coupled with one of the heat-generating components and having an array of cooling fins extending into the air pathway; and an inkjet printhead receiving power and print data from at least one of the first and second PCBs. The inkjet printhead is positioned toward a lower part of the print module.

An inkjet printhead including: an elongate fluid manifold having a base comprising a plurality of fluid delivery compartments, each compartment having a fluid outlet and a bubble-venting cavity; and one or more printhead chips attached to the base, each printhead chip receiving printing fluid from one or more fluid outlets. Each fluid outlet is aligned with a respective printhead chip and each bubble-venting cavity is offset from the respective printhead chip.
