Abstract: A micro-fluid ejection device structure, a multi-fluid cartridge containing the ejection device structure, and methods for making the ejection device structure and cartridge. The micro-fluid ejection device structure includes a fluid supply body containing at least three fluid supply slots therein. An ejection head substrate having fluid feed slots therein is attached to the fluid supply body. Each of the fluid supply slots in the body is in flow communication with at least one of the fluid feed slots in the substrate. A plurality of adhesive bond lines adhesively attach the ejection head substrate and the fluid supply body to one another. Each of the adhesive bond lines have a width of less than about 600 microns and are located between adjacent ones of the fluid supply slots in the body.

Abstract: A printing cartridge including a body, the body having a base and a tower defining a passageway. The tower is made from a first polymer material, and has a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end is attached to the base. The distal end includes a surface. A frame, made of a second polymer material different from the first polymer material, is attached to the surface of the tower. A filter is attached to the frame and positioned to extend over the passageway.

Abstract: A method of assembling a print head that includes the steps of: (a) providing a print head base including a nozzle and at least one ink channel; (b) mounting in fluid communication with the at least one ink channel of the print head base an ink regulator that includes: (i) a pressurized chamber including an ink inlet in fluid communication with an ink source, an ink outlet in fluid communication with the at least one ink channel of the print head base, and an exterior flexible wall having an inner surface facing an interior of the pressurized chamber, (ii) a valve biased to restrict fluid communication between the ink source and the pressurized chamber, where the exterior flexible wall actuates the valve to overcome the bias in response to a predetermined pressure differential across the exterior flexible wall to provide fluid communication between the ink source and the pressurized chamber, where the fluid communication between the pressurized chamber and the ink source decreases the pressure differential ac
