Abstract: A print head element part of an ionographic print head is provided having a mechanism for introducing at one end an ionisable gas or gas mixture into a tubular channel, the print head element further having a planar driver electrode and a planar control electrode both surrounding channel, a dielectric body keeping driver electrode and control electrode separate, a source for applying an alternating voltage for the ionization of the gas or gas mixture in channel, a modulation electrode being separated from control electrode by dielectric material, a source for applying a direct current voltage between modulation electrode and control electrode to either block ions in channel or to allow the flow out of ions from channel.
