Abstract
An ink jet droplet exciter for generating pressure waves in a droplet generator. The preferred exciter is a composite made of PZT, Pb (Zr:Ti) O.sub.3, and a polyethylene supporting material. The mean diameter of the PZT particles is 7 mils and the entire exciter thickness is between 10 and 12 mils. The composite is pliable and can be made in sheets of a large enough area to provide droplet excitation for a multiple nozzle generator.
