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 1):
A fluid ejection device comprising:\n a fluid ejection orifice; a fluid actuator actuatable between an active state in which the fluid actuator applies pressure to fluid to eject the fluid through the fluid ejection orifice and an inactive state in which the fluid actuator does not apply pressure to the fluid such that the fluid is not being pushed by the fluid actuator through the fluid ejection orifice; and a valve to selectively close the fluid ejection orifice concurrently with the fluid actuator being in the inactive state.
