An apparatus to capture aerosols, comprising:
- a corona wire;
- and
- a nonconductive housing comprising a first cavity to expose a first portion of the corona wire, a second cavity to expose a second portion of the corona wire, and a chamber between the first and second cavities, a third portion of the corona wire being located within the chamber between the first and second portions of the corona wire.
A print bar, comprising:
- an inkjet pen to apply ink to a substrate;
- a first nonconductive housing comprising first and second cavities and a first substantially sealed chamber disposed between the first and second cavities;
