Abstract
A print head for an inkjet printer includes a nozzle, a first electrode positioned to receive an ink droplet from the nozzle, a second electrode positioned to receive the ink droplet from the first electrode, and a controller configured to operate the first electrode to ionize the ink droplet and set a flight speed of the ink droplet. The controller is further configured to selectively activate the second electrode to deflect the ink droplet in response to the print head changing from a horizontal printing orientation to a vertical printing orientation.
