Abstract
An inkjet array for a printer includes a number of elements. Each element has an ink chamber and an ink provider, and a piezo-actuator rigidly secured to one side of the ink chamber. The ink chamber is brought into motion in response to an image signal whereby an ink droplet is ejected from a nozzle of the ink chamber. Each of the ink chambers of the array can be brought into motion separately.
