International Classification:

B41J 2/05

US Classification:

347 62

Abstract:

A printhead die () for an inkjet-printing device includes a substrate (), a heating resistor, and an edge protection layer () The heating resistor is formed on the substrate, and has one or more edges The heating resistor is operative to cause an ink droplet to be ejected from the inkjet-printing device upon sufficient current flowing through the heating resistor resulting in a bubble nucleating within ink at the heating resistor and thereafter collapsing at the heating resistor The edge protection layer covers just the edges of the heating resistor in order to at least substantially protect the heating resistor from becoming damaged due to collapsing of the bubble at the heating resistor
