Abstract

This invention relates to a method and apparatus for acoustic ink printing using a bilayer configuration. More particularly, the invention concerns an acoustically actuated droplet emitter which is provided with a continuous, high velocity, laminar flow of cooling liquid in addition to a stagnant pool of liquid to be emitted as droplets.
