Abstract

A method is proposed for fabricating components of an ink droplet generator for generating a sequence of charged, detected and deflected ink droplets for an ink jet printer, as is proposed an ink droplet generator fabricated thereby. The method which is based upon multi-layer technology involves forming the charging electrodes and the detection electrodes by removing unnecessary metal coating from a support element metallically coated on at least one side of the support element and forming the deflection electrodes by removing unnecessary metal coating from a polyimide foil coated on at least one side thereof. The polyimide foil is mounted on a substrate constructed as a support element. The arrangement defining the ink droplet generator comprises a first module formed from both board or panel-like support elements and a second module formed from both board or panel-like support elements.
