PRINTHEAD INCLUDING ACOUSTIC DAMPENING STRUCTURE

摘要

A printhead includes a nozzle plate including a plurality of nozzles and a plurality of liquid chambers. Each liquid chamber is in fluid communication with a respective one of the plurality of nozzles. An acoustic dampening structure includes a plurality of sets of air pockets and liquid flow restrictors. Each liquid chamber is in fluid communication with one of the sets of air pockets and liquid flow restrictors. A common liquid supply manifold is in fluid communication with each liquid chamber through the liquid flow restrictor associated with the liquid chamber.
