Abstract

The printhead of an ink jet printer includes an electrically conductive plastic chassis and charging electrode. The plastic chassis can be constructed of plastic resins such as polyester, nylon, acetal, and polyphenylene sulphide imbedded with electrically conductive fibers such as carbon and stainless steel. The fibers can be coated with nickel to improve the shielding characteristics of the material.
