The length multiplied by the width (heater area) is in a range from about 50 to about 500 micrometers squared while the thickness is in a range from about 500 to about 5000 or 6000 angstroms. The energy required to jet or emit a single drop of ink from the heater during use is in a range from about 0.007 to about 0.99 or 1.19 microjoules. The heater chip is formed as a plurality of thin film layers on a substrate. Energy ranges are taught for all heaters having an area from about 50 to about 4000 micrometers squared and thicknesses ranging from about 500 to about 16,000 angstroms.
