60 of the laminate includes four slots 59 corresponding with each print chip with two inner slots being aligned with the pair of slots formed in the second layer 56 and outer slots between which the inner slots reside the third layer 60 also includes an array of air holes 54 aligned with the corresponding air hole arrays 54 provided in the first and second layers 52 and 56 the third layer 60 has only eight remaining ink holes 53 corresponding with each print chip these outermost holes 53 are aligned with the outermost holes 53 provided in the first and second laminate layers as shown in fig9 a and 9b the third layer 60 includes in its underside surface a transversely extending channel 61 corresponding to each hole 53 these channels 61 deliver ink from the corresponding hole 53 to a position just outside the alignment of slots 59 therethrough as best seen in fig9 a and 9b the top three layers of the laminated stack 36 thus serve to direct the ink shown by broken hatched lines in fig9 b from the more widely spaced ink ducts 40 of the distribution molding to slots aligned with the ink passages 31 through the upper surface of each print chip 27 as shown in fig1 which is a view from.
