Abstract: A drop emitting device including a first linear array of columnar arrays of first nozzle pairs and a second linear array of columnar arrays of second nozzle pairs, wherein the first linear array and the second linear array extend along an X-axis, and wherein the second linear array is adjacent the first linear array such that each first nozzle pair has an associated second nozzle pair displaced therefrom along a Y-axis that is orthogonal to the X-axis. The columnar arrays of first nozzle pairs and the columnar arrays of second nozzle pairs extend obliquely to the X-axis.

Abstract: A print head reservoir includes a plate having first and second sides and a passage extending through said plate. The plate defines an angled channel in communication with the passage and an outlet region.

Abstract: A system for delivering at least two distinct pressures to a print head of an ink jet printer includes a pump, a passage in communication with the pump and the print head, and a valve. The pump is for delivering positive pressure to the print head of the ink jet printer. The passage includes an opening, and the valve selectively opens and closes the opening.
