Abstract: Ink jet print head comprising a substrate with an upper surface and a lower surface; a plurality of actuators with ejection chambers and ink supply passages, an ink distribution slot formed in the substrate between the lower surface and the upper surface; a manifold formed in the substrate of the upper surface around the slot for the feed to the actuators; and a plurality of bubble prevention elements formed in the feed manifold. The plurality of bubble prevention elements is provided only for a marginal set of actuators remote from the distribution slot.

Abstract: The invention relates to an ink jet print head structure for printing devices, comprising a substrate in which one or more slots are realized and a nozzle plate connected to the substrate. The nozzle plate defines a first axis (X) and a second perpendicular axis (Y) and comprises a plurality of nozzles from which ink is ejected in fluid communication with the slots. The slots extends along the second axis (Y). A plurality of strip-like stress relief elements is realized on the nozzle plate, the plurality of stress relief elements is disposed so to extend along the Y axis, and each stress relief element of the plurality defines an aperture on a free surface of said nozzle plate. In addition, the total X projections of all apertures defined by the plurality of stress relief elements along the first (X) axis has a resulting length comprised between 10% and 55% of the overall width of the nozzle plate along the same first axis (X).
