An industrial printhead comprising an array of piezoactuated flow channel dispensers enclosed in a chamber with a multi-orifice plate allowing fluid exit.

A liquid ejecting head including: a liquid ejecting portion configured to eject a liquid; a supply flow path configured to supply the liquid to the liquid ejecting portion; and a discharging flow path configured to discharge the liquid from the liquid ejecting portion, in which a supply portion along a horizontal plane in the supply flow path and a discharging portion along the horizontal plane in the discharging flow path have different positions with respect to a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane.

Provided is an inkjet head including a plurality of ink dischargers, a first common ejection flow path, and a second common ejection flow path. Each of the ink dischargers includes an ink storage, a pressure changer, a nozzle, and a first individual ejection flow path and a second individual ejection flow path that communicate to the ink storage and through which ink is ejected from fee ink storage but not supplied to the nozzle. The first common ejection flow path communicates to a plurality of first individual ejection flow paths of the respective plurality of the ink dischargers, and the second common ejection flow path communicates to a plurality of second individual ejection flow paths of the respective plurality of fee ink dischargers. A shape of a first section of first common ejection flow path into which ink flows from the plurality of first individual ejection flow paths is different from a shape of a second section of the second common ejection flow path into which ink flows from the plurality of second individual election flow paths.

Fluid ejection devices with multiple activation modes are disclosed. An example printhead assembly includes a fluid ejection nozzle, a first resistor fluidically coupled to the fluid ejection nozzle, and a second resistor fluidically coupled to the fluid ejection nozzle. The example printhead also includes an addressing circuit to receive a nozzle address and an activation mode to activate the fluid ejection nozzle. The activation mode determines which of the first resistor and the second resistor are to be energized.

A fluidic die may include a substrate supporting a fluid actuator address line and first and second groups of fluid actuators connected to the fluid actuator address line. The first group of fluid actuators may include first and second types of fluid actuators having different operating characteristics. The second group of fluid actuators may include the first and the second types of fluid actuators. The fluid actuators of the first and second groups have addresses such that a fluid actuator of the first type in the first group and a fluid actuator of the second type in the second group are both enabled in response to a single enabling event on the fluid actuator address line.

A fluid ejection device may include fluid ejectors, fluid pumps to circulate fluid to the fluid ejectors, a first actuation signal line and at least one second actuation signal line. The first actuation signal line is connected to each of the fluid ejectors and each of the fluid pumps along which a first signal is transmittable to actuate a selected one of fluid ejectors and the fluid pumps. The at least one second actuation signal line is connected to the fluid pumps along which a second signal is transmittable to actuate a selected one of the fluid pumps.

An industrial printhead comprising an array of piezoactuated flow channel dispensers enclosed in a chamber with a multi-orifice plate allowing fluid exit.

An inkjet head may include the following. A plurality of ink emitters, each including, an ink storage, a pressure changer which changes pressure in the ink stored in the ink storage, a nozzle which is connected to the ink storage and which emits ink according to a change in pressure in the ink in the ink storage, a plurality of precedent stage individual discharge flow paths which are connected to one ink storage and through which ink discharged without being supplied from the ink storage to the nozzle passes, and a subsequent stage individual discharge flow path to which, the plurality of precedent stage individual discharge flow paths join. A common discharge flow path may be connected to the plurality of subsequent stages individual discharge flow paths included in the plurality of ink emitters, and the ink which passes through the plurality of subsequent stage individual discharge flow paths flows.

There is provided a liquid discharge head, including: a pressure chamber connected to a nozzle from which a liquid is discharged; an actuator configured to apply discharge pressure to the liquid in the pressure chamber; a first supply channel which is connected to the pressure chamber, and through which a first liquid is supplied to the pressure chamber; a second supply channel, different from the first channel, which is connected to the pressure chamber, and through which a second liquid different from the first liquid is supplied to the pressure chamber; a first valve which is disposed in the first supply channel, and by which the first supply channel is opened and closed; and a second valve which is disposed in the second supply channel, and by which the second supply channel is opened and closed.

A liquid discharge head, includes an individual channel, and first and second common channels. The individual channel includes: a nozzle; a pressure chamber; a connection channel; a first communication channel; and a second communication channel. A first vector is defined such that a starting point and ending point are located on the connection channel, and a second vector is defined such that a starting point and an ending point are located on the second communication channel. A first angle formed by a projection vector of the first vector onto the first plane and a projection vector of the second vector onto the first plane is less than 90°. A second angle formed by a projection vector of the first vector onto the second plane and the second vector is less than 90°.
