Zusammenfassung:An ink fill slot 18 can be precisely manufactured in a substrate 12 utilizing photolithographic techniques with chemical etching, plasma etching, or a combination thereof. These methods may be used in conjunction with laser ablation, mechanical abrasion, or electromechanical machining to remove additional substrate material in desired areas. The ink fill slots may be appropriately configured to provide the requisite volume of ink at increasingly higher frequency of operation of the printhead.
