Inkjet printhead with common chamber and actuator material

An inkjet printhead for ejecting drops of ink during a printing process, the inkjet printhead comprising:

• an array of drop ejectors, each having a chamber for holding ink, an actuator and a nozzle such that actuation of the actuator ejects ink through the nozzle;
• and,
• at least one internal surface of the chamber and an ink engaging face of the actuator are formed from the same material;
• wherein during use,
• the actuator displaces the ink engaging face towards the nozzle to create a pressure pulse sufficient to eject ink through the nozzle and subsequently moves away from the nozzle as the chamber refills with ink during the printing process.
