  • Process for manufacturing an ornamented part
    Patent number: 6508973
    Abstract: An ink jet printhead has a number of nozzles each ejecting drops of ink toward a surface. Each nozzle has a nozzle chamber at least partially defined by an apertured roof portion operatively connected to an actuator such that the actuator moves the roof portion away from the surface to be printed to eject the ink. The ink jet printhead also has a projection within each nozzle for effectively dislodging any dried ink clogging the nozzle rim, hence preventing blocking of the nozzle.
