Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018025003A1] Broadly speaking, embodiments of the present techniques provide apparatus and methods to minimise or reduce the effects of actuator component (and therefore, nozzle array) misalignment. In particular, the present techniques provide an actuator component comprising at least one array of nozzles. In the or each array, the nozzles of the array are arranged in at least two portions: a first portion in which the nozzles in a row of the array are separated by a constant nozzle pitch, and a second portion in the nozzles in a row of the array are separated by a variable nozzle pitch.
