An actuator component for a droplet ejection head. The actuator component includes an actuator assembly and a nozzle plate. The actuator assembly includes a plurality of liquid chambers arranged in a liquid chamber array and a plurality of gas channels arranged in a gas channel array. The nozzle plate includes a plurality of ejection nozzles arranged in a nozzle array and a plurality of gas orifices arranged in an orifice array wherein the gas orifices and the ejection nozzles are arranged in a repeating pattern. Each liquid chamber is fluidically connected to one or more of the ejection nozzles and is actuable for the ejection of liquid droplets from the ejection nozzles. The plurality of gas channels is fluidically connected to a respective gas orifice(s). During use, gas flowing through the gas orifices controls one or more properties of the liquid ejected from the ejection nozzles.
