Drop-on-demand ink jet printing apparatus comprises a nozzle on a nozzle axis; an ink chamber communicating with the nozzle, a piezoelectric actuating structure, said structure extending around the nozzle axis and extending in the direction of the nozzle axis; an actuating surface facing the nozzle, said structure being actuable to move said actuating surface in the direction of the nozzle axis to effect droplet ejection through the nozzle; and electrodes for applying an actuating electric field to the actuating structure. |
