Abstract

A print head for a drop on demand ink jet printer comprising a support (105) having an integrated heater (107) disposed thereon. Affixed to the support is a plate (110, 115) which covers the ink channels (120, 125) of a piezoelectric actuator (29). The actuator and plate each have an electrode (24, 112, 117) that are in electrical communication with each other. The actuator has a plurality of addressable electrodes (22, 60) that can have an electrical drive signal applied thereto. The electrical drive signal deforms the individual ink channels of the actuator, which expels ink droplets.
