A print head of a continuous ink jet printer includes a housing that holds the components of the printer head. The housing is made of at least two housing parts that can be separated and that are particularly fastened to each other in an articulated manner. A cavity, that is traversed by the produced ink jet, is arranged between the housing parts. An insert is arranged on each of the housing parts and a cavity that is traversed by the ink jet is formed between the joined inserts. Surface areas of a respective insert that bound the cavity merge seamlessly with each other and form smooth surfaces without gaps, edges, or undercuts.

Print head having integrated deflecting electrodes

The invention relates to a method for changing the trajectory of ink droplets generated by and emitted from a print head which operates in a continuous manner, the ink droplets being electrostatically charged and deflected in a plane out of an original trajectory by at least one electrical field in a first deflecting device, the ink droplets being deflected in the same plane by at least one electrical field in a second deflecting device. The invention further relates to an inkjet printing device for emitting, in particular in a continuous manner, electrostatically charged ink droplets in an original trajectory by means of a first deflecting device for deflecting the charged ink droplets in a plane out of the original trajectory, at least one second deflecting device being provided by which the ink droplets may be deflected in the same plane.
