<p>In one embodiment, target velocity data, indicative of a target velocity for fluid ejection from a printhead channel, is received. A waveform capabilities database is accessed, the database including descriptions of pulse waveforms available to be applied to an actuator to cause fluid drop ejection from the channel at the target velocity. Each description includes a pulse width. A tail reduction waveform having a lowest pulse width is identified from the descriptions. The tail reduction waveform is provided to the actuator.</p>
