COMPENSATING FOR CAPACITANCE CHANGES IN PIEZOELECTRIC PRINTHEAD ELEMENTS

In an embodiment, a method of compensating for capacitance change in a piezoelectric element of a fluid ejection device includes sensing a current driving a piezoelectric element, determining from the current that capacitance of the piezoelectric element has changed, and altering a rise time of the...
