ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A continuous stream type ink jet printhead utilizing constant thermal pulses to perturbate the ink streams emitted through a plurality of nozzles to break up the ink streams into droplets at a fixed distance from the nozzles whereat the drops are individually charged by a charging electrode in accordance with digitized data signals. Each printhead has a manifold, a plurality of ink channels communicating at one end with the manifold and terminating at the other end with nozzles, and at least one resistor addressed by a predetermined frequency of current pulses for applying thermal pulses to the ink. In one embodiment, a resistor is positioned in each of the channels adjacent the nozzles and in another embodiment, a single resistor is located in the ink manifold. The resistors are pulsed at low power to generate a perturbation of ink properties such as density, viscosity, or surface tension without producing a phase change in the ink.
