Fluidic seal for an ink jet nozzle assembly

摘要

An ink jet nozzle assembly ( 10 ) includes a substrate ( 16 ). A nozzle ( 22 ) is displaceably arranged relative to the substrate ( 16 ). The nozzle ( 22 ) defines a nozzle opening ( 24 ) such that, in use, upon displacement of the nozzle ( 22 ) relative to the substrate ( 16 ) ink is ejected through the opening ( 24 ). A seal ( 52 ) is arranged intermediate the substrate ( 16 ) and the nozzle ( 22 ) for inhibiting leakage of ink from around a periphery of the nozzle ( 22 ).
