Zusammenfassung:A printhead (14) including a printhead substrate (20) having at least one opening (22) formed in a first surface to provide a fluid path (48) through the substrate (20). The printhead (14) further includes a thin film membrane (24) formed on a second surface of the substrate (20). The thin film membrane (24) includes a plurality of fluid ejection elements (26) and has a floating section (34) and a cantilevered section (32), which are detached and separated from one another by a gap (36).
