ABSTRACT:
In a preferred embodiment, a nozzle member containing an array of orifices has a substrate, having heater elements formed thereon, affixed to a back surface of the nozzle member. The back surface of the nozzle member extends beyond the outer edges of the substrate. Ink is supplied from an ink reservoir within a print cartridge body to the orifices by a fluid channel within a barrier layer between the nozzle member and the substrate. The nozzle member is adhesively sealed with respect to the print cartridge body by forming an ink seal circumscribing the substrate, between the back surface of the nozzle member and the body. The print cartridge body is formed so that the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the body in the vicinity of the nozzle member in a critical direction is within about 100 PPM/C of the CTE of the nozzle member in the critical direction to reduce thermally induced stress on the nozzle member. This prevents delamination of the nozzle member from the barrier layer when the body and nozzle member cool after being heated.
