What is a printhead?

A printhead is the core component of an inkjet printer responsible for ejecting ink droplets onto the printing surface to form images, text, or patterns. Print quality, printing speed, color accuracy, and long-term stability are all directly influenced by the performance of the printhead.

Key Components of a Printhead

A typical inkjet printhead consists of the following elements:

Nozzles – Microscopic openings that precisely eject ink droplets
Nozzle Plate – The surface that holds and protects the nozzle array
Ink Chambers – Store and regulate ink flow
Ink Channels – Guide ink from the supply system to each nozzle
Actuators – Control ink droplet ejection (piezoelectric or thermal)
