Abstract

A jet drop recording head has an orifice plate (18) defining a plurality of orifices (26) and a common manifold connected with the orifices. A flexible plate (30) communicates with the manifold and defines a fluid reservoir in communication with the manifold and orifice plate. Ink is supplied to the fluid reservoir under pressure to create a line of required jets. A stimulator (36) generates a series of bending waves which travel along the flexible plate means such that the jets are stimulated to break up into streams of regularly formed drops. Means (50, 52, 54) are provided for charging and deflecting the drops to create intelligible patterns. The stimulation of the flexible plate may be applied at one end of the plate or, alternatively, in the center of the plate. <IMAGE>
