Abstract
The aim of this work was the development of an ink jet imaging unit fo r offset printing formes. A high-resolution (1200 dpi) ink jet print h ead based on the principle of continuous ink jet printing is presented . Using the outstanding properties of silicon bulk micromachining this microsystem was fabricated. It consists of a multinozzle print head, a charging electrode array and an array of ink shields to drain off th e unused ink.
