Abstract

A fluid ejection device includes a fluid slot, a fluid ejection chamber communicated with the fluid slot, a drop ejecting element within the fluid ejection chamber, a fluid circulation channel communicated at one end with the fluid slot and communicated at another end with the fluid ejection chamber, a fluid circulating element within the fluid circulation channel, and a channel wall separating the fluid ejection chamber and the fluid circulation channel. The fluid circulation channel includes a channel loop, and a width of the channel wall is based on a width of the channel loop and a width of the fluid ejection chamber.
