A drop-on-demand (DOD) printer is disclosed having an ejector which may include a nozzle, the nozzle including a tank in communication with a source of printing material, a constricted dissipative section in communication with the tank, which may include an elongated internal channel, and a shaping tip in communication with the constricted dissipative section which can include an exit orifice. The (DOD) printer also includes a power source configured to supply one or more pulses of power to the ejector, which causes one or more drops of the printing material to be jetted out of the nozzle. The DOD printer may include a constricted dissipative section configured to obstruct fluid flow that is cylindrical or axisymmetric and having a diameter less than a diameter of the tank and less than a diameter of the shaping tip. The DOD printer may include a nozzle or an array of nozzles. 1.
