Abstract
An ink jet nozzle assembly 10 includes a substrate 16. A nozzle 22 is displaceably arranged relative to the substrate 16. The nozzle 22 defines a nozzle opening 24 such that, in use, upon displacement of the nozzle 22 relative to the substrate 16 ink is ejected through the opening 24. A seal 52 is arranged intermediate the substrate 16 and the nozzle 22 for inhibiting leakage of ink from around a periphery of the nozzle 22.
