Abstract
A printing system includes a liquid drop ejector that is operable to eject liquid drops having a plurality of volumes along a first path. A fluid passage includes an energy damping structure. A fluid flow source is operable to cause the fluid to flow through the passage along the energy damping structure. Interaction of the fluid flow and the liquid drops causes liquid drops having one of the plurality of volumes to begin moving along a second path.
