A method of making a number of adjacent ducts with a required duct side and duct spacing in a duct plate for an inkjet print-head. The method includes the steps of pressing a non-rotating toothed bit from a starting position into the duct plate, moving the bit and the duct plate relatively to one another in such manner that a first groove is cut in the duct plate and returning the bit and/or duct plate to the starting position. The bit is then moved relatively to the duct in a direction of the first groove in such a manner that a subsequent tooth of the bit situated next to the first tooth comes to lie just above the first groove. These steps are then repeated in such manner that the depth of the grooves correspond to the required duct depth.

Inkjet print-head

A printer having a movable print head including a print head mounted on a carriage and having an array of printing elements for printing lines of pixels onto a recording medium during a scanning motion, mechanical means for moving the carriage and recording medium relative to one another in a main scanning direction (A) and a subscanning direction (B) perpendicular to the main scanning direction, and an additional actuator for dynamically displacing the print head, relative to the carriage, in a scanning direction, in order to fine tune the position of the print head relative to the recording medium.
