Abstract

A drop emitting device including a linear array of first finger manifolds interleaved with a linear array of second finger manifolds to form a composite linear array of finger manifolds. The composite linear array of finger manifold extends along an X-axis, and the finger manifolds extend obliquely to the X-axis. A plurality of drop generators are fluidically coupled to the finger manifolds.
