  • Publication number: 20250058563
    Abstract: A fluid-ejection printhead includes a sparse array of fluid-ejection nozzles through which fluid is ejected onto dot rows parallel to a scan axis of the fluidejection printhead. The fluid is ejected by more than one fluid-ejection nozzle of the sparse array onto each dot row. The fluid-ejection printhead includes fluidejection element. Each element can correspond to a pair of the fluid-ejection nozzles through which the fluid is ejected onto a same dot row and include a corresponding pair of fluid-ejection actuators. Each element can instead correspond to one of the fluid-ejection nozzles and include one fluid-ejection actuator.

  • Patent number: 11987055
    Abstract: A fluidic die may include a fluid channel layer defining a number of fluid channels therein, a slot layer disposed on a side of the fluid channel layer, and a first fluid slot and a second fluid slot defined in the slot layer. At least one of the fluid channels fluidically couples the first fluid slot to the second fluid slot. The first fluid slot and the second fluid slot are defined in the slot layer along a length of the fluidic die.

  • Patent number: 11970011
    Abstract: A fluid-ejection element of a fluid-ejection device includes a chamber layer having a pair of chambers fluidically disconnected from one another within the chamber layer. The fluid-ejection element includes a tophat layer over the chamber layer and fluidically connecting the chambers to define a fluid recirculation path between the chambers. The fluid-ejection element includes a nozzle common to both the chambers.

  • Patent number: 11970010
    Abstract: An example printhead includes a circulation channel having an inlet for receiving a fluid and an outlet for expelling the fluid, a first nozzle fluidically coupled to the circulation channel, the first nozzle being operable at a first absolute pressure, and a second nozzle fluidically coupled to the circulation channel, the second nozzle being operable at a second absolute pressure, the absolute second pressure being lower than the first absolute pressure. The absolute pressure in the circulation channel decreases as the fluid flows from the inlet to the outlet, and the first nozzle is positioned closer to the inlet of the circulation channel than the second nozzle.

  • Publication number: 20230106541
    Abstract: A fluid-ejection element of a fluid-ejection device includes a chamber layer having a chamber. The fluid-ejection element includes an above-chamber layer fluidically connected to the chamber layer and through which fluid is to recirculate. The fluid-ejection element includes a firing resistor disposed at a bottom of the chamber. The fluid-ejection element includes a nozzle above the chamber through which the firing resistor is to eject the fluid from the chamber.

  • Publication number: 20230047150
    Abstract: A backside channel is fluidically connected between a supply inlet and a backside outlet. The backside channel has a backside channel fluid recirculation path. An element channel is fluidically connected to an element outlet. Fluid-ejection elements are fluidically connected between the backside channel and the element channel. The fluid-ejection elements have a fluid-ejection element fluid recirculation path.

  • Publication number: 20230025124
    Abstract: An example recirculation fluid ejection device includes a first unit droplet generator including a first actuator and a first nozzle between a first and a second fluid feed hole, the first fluid feed hole located on a first channel and the second fluid feed hole and a first pump located on a second channel. The example device includes a second unit droplet generator including a second actuator and a second nozzle between a third and a fourth fluid feed hole, the third feed hole located on a third channel and the fourth fluid feed hole and a second pump located on a fourth channel. The first and the second actuators eject fluid at substantially the same backpressure. A first pressure measurable at an inlet of the first channel and the third channel are different from a second pressure measurable at an outlet of the second channel and the fourth channel.

  • Publication number: 20220379607
    Abstract: An example printhead includes a set of circulation channels for flowing a fluid therethrough, the set of nozzles including higher-pressure channels and lower-pressure channels; a first nozzle array having a first nozzle; a second nozzle array having a second nozzle, the first nozzle and the second nozzle forming a row region; a first inter-channel passage fluidically coupling the first nozzle to a first pair of adjacent circulation channels, the first pair including a higher-pressure channel on a first side of a lower-pressure channel; and a second inter-channel passage fluidically coupling the second nozzle to a second pair of adjacent circulation channels, the second pair including a higher-pressure channel on a second side of a lower-pressure channel, the second side being opposite the first side.

  • 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.
