Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Nozzle layouts for printheads are described. In an example, a printhead includes a first set of drop ejectors having orifices with circular bores, and a second set of drop ejectors having orifices with non-circular bores. A processor receives printing data representing an image to be printed to media, and provides firing data to the printhead for activating the drop ejectors. The firing data selects the drop ejectors with the circular bores to print graphic elements of the image and selecting the drop ejectors with the non-circular bores to print textual elements or line elements of the image.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A printhead, comprising: a substrate having at least one ink feed slot formed therein; a first row of drop ejectors extending along a first side of each of the at least one ink feed slot; a second row of drop ejectors extending along a second side of each of the at least one ink feed slot; the drop ejectors in each first row having orifices with circular bores; and the drop ejectors in each second row having orifices with non-circular bores, each non…
