Abstract: Accounting for oscillations with drop ejection waveforms can include identifying a previous ejection waveform having a first plurality of parameters including a time interval from a final pulse of the previous ejection waveform. Accounting for oscillations with drop ejection waveforms can include determining a second plurality of parameters based on the first plurality of parameters, where the second plurality of parameters define a current ejection waveform that accounts for oscillations caused by the previous ejection waveform. Accounting for oscillations with drop ejection waveforms can include applying the current ejection waveform to cause an ejection nozzle of the printhead to generate a desired fluid drop.

Abstract: A piezoelectric actuator is formed by forming first and second electrodes on a substrate, and depositing a material on the substrate and between side surfaces of adjacent first and second electrodes to form a thin film sheet within which the first and the second electrodes extend from a first surface of the thin film sheet towards a second surface of the thin film sheet opposite the first surface. The second electrode is interdigitated in relation to the first electrode. The side surfaces of the first and the second electrodes are at least substantially perpendicular to the substrate. The thin film sheet is to physically deform in response to an electric field induced within the thin film sheet via application of a voltage across the first and the second electrodes.

The IC dies may be positioned substantially but not completely beneath the fluidics die and positioned on either side of the pedestal such that air gaps exist between a top surface of each IC die and a bottom surface of the fluidics die and between each IC die and the pedestal. The pedestal may include ink flow channels to allow ink flow between the fluidics die and the printhead substrate. A plurality of stand-offs may be implemented to help support the fluidics die above the IC dies.
