ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a nozzle assembly for ejecting ink. The nozzle assembly includes a body and an actuator support extending from the body. There is also provided an actuator arm which extends from the actuator support and into a nozzle. The nozzle assembly further includes the nozzle which extends from the body and is suitable for storing the ink. In use, the actuator arm is displaced to thereby eject ink from the nozzle.
