and helps to keep the design compact in fig5 the actuators are connected in series and therefore fire in unison from the same drive signal to simplify the cmos drive circuitry in the fig4 unit cell actuators in adjacent nozzles are connected in series within the same drive circuit of course the actuators in adjacent chambers could also be connected in parallel in contrast were the actuators in each chamber to be in separate circuits the cmos drive circuitry would be more complex and the dimensions of the unit cell footprint would increase in printhead designs where the drop misdirection is addressed by substituting multiple smaller drops combining several actuators and their respective nozzles into a common drive circuit is an efficient implementation both in terms of printhead ic fabrication and nozzles density reduction in the unit cell width enables the printhead to have nozzles patterns that previously would have required the nozzle density to be reduced of course a lower nozzle density has a corresponding influence on printhead size and or print quality traditionally the nozzle rows are arranged in pairs with the actuators for each row extending in opposite directions the rows are staggered with respect to each other so that the printing resolution dots per inch is twice the nozzle pitch nozzles per inch along each row by configuring the components of the unit cell such that the overall width of the unit.
