Abstract
An improved orifice construction for a bubble jet print head of the kind including a plurality of electrode-addressed resistive heater elements predeterminedly spaced in a linear array on a support substrate. Such construction includes a plurality of separator means extending up from the substrate surface at positions precisely between respective heater elements and an orifice plate fixedly mounted above the substrate and having a linear slot, of orifice width and linear array length, aligned over the heater elements and their intermediate separator members. The slot edges and separator members cooperate to define a plurality of discrete orifices that are precisely located vis a vis respective heater elements.
