Abstract
A print head includes an orifice plate having a plurality of orifices arranged as ink-jet nozzles, and a head body partitioned into a plurality of ink chambers and integrated with the orifice plate such that ink is guided from the ink chambers to the orifices, for increasing an internal pressure of each ink chamber to eject ink from a corresponding orifice. Particularly, each orifice has a constriction for restricting an ink-jet error angle to a range of ±5 mrad with respect to a center axis thereof.
