  • Here is a color-coded diagram of how the printhead is built. The only difference is that there 3 ink nozzles in a row instead of over 40.

  • Ink flows from the cartridge into the printhead through the red circles.

  • Ink flows into chambers underneath the piezo elements (marked by orange lines).

  • Individually addressable piezo elements for each nozzle cover the ink chambers.

  • The piezo elements are connected to a common ground by metal strips.

  • (Second image) The ribbon cable (shown as a blue overlay) connects the other terminal of all the piezo elements to the multiplexer.
