Ink drop sensor

摘要

A sensor (58) includes an ink drop sensing element (60) integral to a printed circuit board (64). Sensing circuitry (62) is coupled to the printed circuit board (64) and may be configured to receive electrical signals from the sensing element (60). A method of manufacturing such an ink drop sensor (58) and a printing mechanism (20) having such an ink drop sensor (58) are also provided. <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
