Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing an inkjet printer component, the inkjet printer component including a fluid passageway, the method further comprising: positioning an electrode component in the fluid passageway of the inkjet printer component, the electrode component including a conductive face and a nonconductive face; electropolishing a side of the fluid passageway by: biasing the nonconductive face of the electrode component toward a first side of the fluid passageway such that the conductive face of the electrode component does not contact any portion of the fluid passageway; providing an electrolytic fluid to the fluid passageway of the inkjet printer component; applying a voltage between the electrode component and the inkjet printer component; and electropolishing a second side of the fluid passageway by: biasing the nonconductive face of the electrode component toward the first side of the fluid passageway such that the conductive face of the electrode component does not contact any portion of the fluid passageway; providing the electrolytic fluid to the fluid passageway of the inkjet printer component; and providing the voltage between the electrode component and the inkjet printer component.
