Abstract
The systems and methods of this invention allows for an electrical contact structure of the drop ejecting transducer in an inkjet printhead to be designed in such a way that the relatively thick electrical contact lines are not in the ink drop ejection path between the drop ejector transducer and the corresponding nozzle. Such a design thereby minimizes any visible defects due to misdirected satellite drops.
