A modular kit for manufacturing a printer carriage, the modular kit comprising:
- a first modular printhead carrier component to receive a first plurality of printheads according to a first predefined printhead layout;
- a second modular printhead carrier component to receive a second plurality of printheads according to a second predefined printhead layout, different from the first printhead layout;
- and
- an independent frame component, wherein each of the first modular printhead carrier component and the second modular printhead carrier component is removably attachable to the frame component by means of at least one removable attachment element to removably attach a respective one of the first and second modular printhead carrier component to the frame component.
