A method of producing a printhead for an inkjet printer with a print engine controller for controlling the printhead operation, the method comprising the steps of: providing a printhead IC having an array of ink ejection nozzles formed on a substrate; providing circuitry for electrical connection to the print engine controller; providing a support member for supporting the printhead IC and the circuitry within the printer; providing a polymer film; securing the polymer film to a surface of the support member by applying heat and pressure for a predetermined time; mounting the printhead IC and the circuitry to the support member via the polymer film; and, electrically connecting the circuitry to the printhead IC. |
