The use of a piezoelectric device should not be confused with Drop-On-Demand Inkjet which uses the piezo to generate sound waves in nozzles or expand the fluid chamber size to push single drops from a nozzle. The CIJ formed ink drops are either deflected by an electric field towards the desired location on the substrate or collected for reuse.
A nozzle is a device designed to control the direction or characteristics of a fluid flow (specially to increase velocity) as it exits (or enters) an enclosed chamber or pipe. A nozzle is often a pipe or tube of varying cross sectional area, and it can be used to direct or modify the flow of a fluid (liquid or gas). Nozzles are frequently used ...
Nozzle Plate: Expels ink onto the paper. Cover Plate: Protects the nozzles. Common Ink Chamber: A reservoir holding a small amount of ink prior to being 'jetted' onto the paper. Piezoelectric Substrate (in Piezoelectric printers) : houses the piezoelectric crystal. Metallic plate / resistor (in Thermal printers): Heats the ink with a small current.
Needle Shut-off Nozzle type HP - pneumatic or hydraulic actuation. The melt flow is shut off via a melt channel-axis positioned needle moving back and forth according to actuation. This nozzle type shuts off the melt stream directly at the nozzle orifice-mold interface which prevents drooling.
Inkjet printing is a type of computer printing that recreates a digital image by propelling droplets of ink onto paper and plastic substrates. [1] Inkjet printers were the most commonly used type of printer in 2008, [2] and range from small inexpensive consumer models to expensive professional machines.
A spray nozzle or atomizer is a device that facilitates the dispersion of a liquid by the formation of a spray. The production of a spray requires the fragmentation of liquid structures, such as liquid sheets or ligaments, into droplets, often by using kinetic energy to overcome the cost of creating additional surface area.

The nozzle also provides the steering of the pump-jets. Plates, similar to rudders, can be attached to the nozzle in order to redirect the water flow port and starboard. In a way, this is similar to the principles of air thrust vectoring , a technique which has long been used in launch vehicles (rockets and missiles) then later in military jet ...
