Piezo-electric inkjet printers... harness the piezo-electric effect, which causes certain crystalline materials to change shape when a voltage is applied across them. In a piezo-electric printer, each nozzle is housed inside an integrated piezo crystal. A small electrical current makes the crystal contract slightly, squeezing ink out of the nozzle onto the paper. 2, record 1, English, - piezo%2Delectric%20printer
