A nozzle arrangement for a printhead integrated circuit includes a nozzle chamber; an ink ejection nozzle in fluid communication with said nozzle chamber, the ink ejection nozzle defining a nozzle rim around an aperture of the ink ejection nozzle; an elongate actuator adapted to displace towards and away from the ink ejection nozzle; an ink ejection paddle attached to an end of elongate actuator and positioned within the nozzle chamber for acting on ink within the nozzle chamber upon displacement of the elongate actuator; and an ink spread prevention rim provided partially around the nozzle rim, the ink spread prevention rim for catching ink spread from the nozzle rim. The elongate actuator includes an actuator arm of a laminated structure comprising a resiliently flexible inner layer, a conductive layer and a compensation layer. The inner layer is interposed between the conductive and compensation layers.
