  • Publication number: 20210114032
    Abstract: A fluidic die may include a at least one actuator, and fluid flow architecture to flow a first fluid through at least one fluidic channel, and flow a second fluid through the at least one fluidic channel to form a laminar flow between the first fluid and the actuator. The at least one actuator forms a drive bubble from the second fluid to cause the first fluid to be ejected from the fluidic die.
