Abstract
A flexible lamination method is provided for joining primary ink jet components. Essentially, the existing thermosetting construction techniques are replaced with a thermoplastic construction by replacing epoxy with sheet plastic during the lamination process. The flexible lamination joins primary ink jet components. Thermoplastic films have a high viscosity at lamination temperatures. This high viscosity holds bonding material in the area intended by elimination of wicking.
