INK JET APPARATUS WITH IMPROVED TRANSDUCER SUPPORT

摘要

An ink jet array comprises a plurality of elongated transducers (204) coupled to a plurality of ink jet chambers (200). The transducers (204) are supported at longitudinal extremities only so as to minimize cross-talk between jets within the array. The support (228) at the extremity remote from the chamber (200) is provided such that no longitudinal motion along the axis of elongation of the transducers (204) occurs. The support at the other extremity includes bearings (207) precluding substantially lateral movement transverse to the axis of elongation but permitting longitudinal movement along the axis of elongation.
