Abstract:
1. Thermal inkjet print head, comprising a fluid feed channel for delivering fluid, fluid chambers arranged near the fluid feed channel for receiving fluid from the fluid feed channel, resistors for actuating the fluid in the chambers, arranged in a staggered pattern with respect to a fluid feed channel wall, and a cantilever extending over the fluid feed channel wall, having a staggered edge that follows the staggered pattern of the resistors so that the fluid path length between a resistor edge and a corresponding staggered edge portion is approximately the same for each resistor; the cantilever comprising a first staggered edge of a first cantilever portion on the opposite side of the fluid feed channel from a second staggered edge of a second cantilever portion, wherein a first distance between the first staggered edge and the fluid feed channel wall over which the first staggered edge extends is different from a second distance between the second staggered edge and the fluid feed channel wall over which the second staggered edge extends.
