Single jet having a bubble screen

1. A jet stack, comprising:

a set of plates forming an array of body chambers, the set of plates including a nozzle plate having an array of jets wherein each jet corresponds to a body chamber;

each body chamber having a body chamber port that allows fluid to flow into and out of the body chamber;

an inlet channel connected to body chamber port to allow fluid to reach the body chamber port;

an inlet port connected to the inlet channel to allow fluid to enter the inlet channel; and

a bubble screen between the body chamber port and a remainder of the jet.

2. The jet stack of claim 1 , wherein the fluid comprises ink.

3. The set of plates of claim 1 , wherein the jet stack forms a flow path in which bubbles trapped by the bubble screen are in the flow path.

4. The jet stack of claim 1 , wherein the flow path comprises a path from the inlet port through the inlet channel and an outlet to an output nozzle.

5. The jet stack of claim 1 , wherein the set of plates includes a diaphragm plate, a body chamber plate, a body chamber port plate, an inlet channel plate, a bubble screen plate, an outlet plate and nozzle plate.

6. The jet stack of claim 1 , wherein the bubble screen includes an array of holes.

7. The jet stack of claim 6 , wherein a diameter of each hole has a size selected to generate a meniscus force greater than a buoyance force of a bubble.

8. The jet stack of claim 6 , wherein the array of holes have a relationship, M, between a number of holes, N, a length of each hole, L, and a diameter of each hole, D, defined by M=(L)/(N*(D) 2 ).

9. The jet stack of claim 6 , wherein each hole has a diameter less than 18 micrometers.

10. The jet stack of claim 6 , wherein each hole has a diameter less than 50 micrometers.
