Abstract
The electrohydrodynamic print head comprises a nozzle carrier with a plurality of nozzles arranged thereon. A plurality of electrodes associated with the nozzles are located on the front side of the nozzles. A support structure supporting the electrodes is located on the nozzle carrier and comprises a plurality of support elements arranged between the nozzles. Ink retainers are arranged between the nozzles and the support elements. The front surfaces of the ink retainers are located behind the front ends of the nozzles in order to prevent the nozzles from being submerged by ink. Guard electrodes can be provided between the ejection electrodes and the ink retainers to reduce the electrical fields at the ink retainers and thereby to improve their efficiency to pin the ink. Suction ducts surrounding each nozzle allow to remove ink from the nozzles.
