================
1. An ink cartridge unit for an inkjet printer, said cartridge comprising: an elongate main body defining a number of rectangular ink reservoirs along a length thereof, with end reservoirs being larger than reservoirs interposed between the end reservoirs, said end reservoirs being configured to store ink more readily consumed during a printing process; a lid assembly covering the main body to seal ink inside the ink reservoirs; and a printhead assembly operatively fed with ink from the ink reservoirs in the main body.
2. The cartridge unit of claim 1, wherein a base of each ink storage reservoir has a raised portion which surrounds an ink outlet through which ink flows for supply to the printhead assembly, said raised portions moulded into the main body to separate the outlets from the base of the ink storage reservoir to ensure a sufficient flow rate of ink from the reservoir.
3. The cartridge unit of claim 2, having an air barrier and ink filter positioned over the ink outlet atop the raised portions thereby leaving a space between the filter and the outlet for receiving ink, said air barrier and ink filter formed such that ink can readily pass through the mesh to the printhead assembly but any air bubbles present in the ink are prevented from passing through.
4. The cartridge unit of claim 2, having a pressed metal chassis fitted to an underside of the main body via clips formed in the chassis, the pressed metal chassis shaped to conform to the underside of the main body and including a plurality of holes that extend therethrough which are positioned to correspond with the ink outlets of the ink storage reservoirs such that there is a passage for ink to pass through the chassis.
