Abstract:
Methods and apparatus control the ejection of fluid from a nozzle by selectively actuating a fluid actuator that displaces and ejects fluid through an ejection orifice of the nozzle. The methods and apparatus at least partially closing the ejection orifice of the nozzle, while the fluid actuator is inactive, to reduce evaporation of the fluid.

Claim (Index 14):
The fluid ejection device of  claim 1 , wherein the fluid ejection orifice and the fluid actuator form one of a plurality of first nozzles in a first row, the fluid ejection device comprising:\n second nozzles in a second row parallel to the first row, each of the second nozzles comprising:\n a second fluid ejection orifice; \n a second fluid actuator actuatable between an active state in which the fluid actuator applies pressure to the fluid to eject the fluid through the second fluid ejection orifice and an inactive state in which the fluid is not being pushed by the second fluid actuator through the second fluid ejection orifice; and \n a second valve to selectively close the second fluid ejection orifice concurrently with the second fluid actuator being in the inactive state.
