Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new method of a drop-on-demand type ink-jet device. SOLUTION: An array of longitudinal finger manifolds (for example, 161) is provided. A plurality of drop generators 30 are so provided that each of the finger manifolds is fluidically coupled to one of the finger manifolds. A respective vent structure 80 fluidically coupled to each of the finger manifolds is provided. By virtue of the vent structure 80, pressure perturbations in such finger manifolds are damped.
