SummarySummary
Ink jet printing is interdisciplinary Thermal ink jet head is a very complicated materials/mechanics deviceLittle information on fabrication of print head is available in the open literatureIn the following, we will discuss the fabrication and materials issues of the HP print head based on publications by HP.

Nozzle plate fabricationNozzle plate fabrication
Fabrication of nozzle plate is done by electro forming on a “mandrel “A mandrel has the inverse shape (negative) of the final nozzle plateFabrication of one mandrel (master) allows replication by electro forming of many nozzle platesPlated parts are removed and the master is re-used for repeated nozzle plate fabrication

DiscussionDiscussion
Hi tech part of printer is nozzle plateLaser can also be used for making holes for nozzleSilicon micro mechanics potentially “easy” but never commercializedPrinter does not “make money”, but the expendables like ink cartridges do.

SummarySummary
Color printing has become accepted everywhereHuman eye is sensitive only to RGBAdditive primaries are complements to subtractive primariesAdvances bring high quality printing to the homeWithout mems technology, there would be no color printingTiming for technology is very important: without fast computers and high storage disks, color printing would not exist
