ABSTRACT:
A nozzle arrangement having a nozzle camber for holding ink. A passive anchor and an active anchor extend from respective anchor points and support a moveable structure including a portion in fluid communication with the ink chamber. The moveable structure is connected to the passive and active anchors at connection points distal the respective anchor points such that actuation of the active anchor causes displacement of the portion with respect to the ink chamber. The anchor point of at least one of the active and passive anchors is positioned between the nozzle chamber and the connection points.
