摘要: A method for assembling a printhead such as an ink jet printhead can include the use of an ultrasonic bonding process to bond two or more printhead layers together. In an embodiment, an ultrasonic frequency is directed to an interface between a first layer and a second layer to generate heat at the interface. In an embodiment, the heat melts at least one of the first layer and the second layer, and the layers are cooled to cure the melted layer. In another embodiment, the heat generated using the ultrasonic frequency cures an adhesive layer between the first layer and the second layer. The ultrasonic lamination process described can result in a fluid-tight seal which requires less processing time and materials over an adhesive-based process.

Each piezoelectric element can include a central void space formed in a first intermediate layer between the piezoelectric element array and a second intermediate layer that is operable to function as a free space for portions of the piezoelectric elements to actuate into when subjected to the voltage.

摘要: A system and method to provide pressure to de-prime a printhead. An image forming device comprises an ink reservoir that contains ink and provides the ink to a printhead. When a fault condition is detected that indicates a likelihood of a solidifying of the ink, the printhead is de-primed by applying pressure to the printhead to purge the ink from the printhead. The fault condition comprises any of a loss of power, a power-down process, or a printhead temperature being less than or equal to a threshold temperature.
