Abstract
An electrode for use in a fluid jet printing apparatus to generate an electrostatic field through which droplet streams pass includes a woven fabric structure having plural electrically-conductive fibers interwoven with plural electrically-insulative fibers. An area of the electrically-conductive fibers is positionable adjacent to the fluid droplet streams to thereby generate the electrostatic field. A conductive support member provides wire-to-ground capacitance which attenuates possible 'cross-talk' due to inherent wire-to-wire capacitances. The electrode structure is particularly well suited for use as a charge electrode in a fluid jet printing device.
