Abstract:
1. A fluid jetting apparatus, comprising: a fluid jetting head to eject fluid droplets toward a substrate; a manifold positioned between the fluid jetting head and the substrate, the manifold comprising a first opening facing the fluid jetting head and a second opening facing the substrate, the manifold being positioned to permit an air flow to enter an interior of the manifold via the second opening; and a fan to generate the air flow and to expel the air flow reaching the fan from the interior of the manifold for collection of aerosol particles associated with the fluid droplets at a collection surface, the manifold and the air flow to permit the fluid droplets to reach the substrate via the first and second openings and to entrain the aerosol particles in the air flow without the aerosol particles exiting the manifold via the second opening.
