Abstract

A larger print width print head apparatus (10) for an ink jet printer comprises a droplet generating means (12) and a means (16) for providing fluid to the droplet generating means. The apparatus further comprises a means (14) for charging and collecting drops from the droplet generating means and a means for providing data signals to the means for charging and collecting drops. The apparatus further comprises a two-member housing means containing the print head apparatus (10) with removable ink jet components so that failed ink jet components can be returned to a central refurbishment center without sending all the associated electronics.
