A liquid ejector is provided that includes a structure defining a plurality of chambers with one of the plurality of chambers including a first surface and a second surface. The first surface includes a nozzle orifice. A drop forming mechanism is located on the second surface of the chamber opposite the nozzle orifice. A first liquid feed channel and a second liquid feed channel are in fluid communication with the chamber. A first segment of a segmented liquid inlet is in fluid communication with the first liquid feed channel and a second segment of the segmented liquid inlet is in fluid communication with the second liquid feed channel. The first segment of the segmented liquid inlet is also in fluid communication with another one of the plurality of chambers and the second segment of the liquid inlet is also in fluid communication with another one of the plurality of chambers. A liquid is provided to the chamber through the first liquid feed channel and the second liquid feed channel from the segmented liquid inlet. A drop of the liquid is ejected through the nozzle orifice of the chamber by operating the associated drop forming mechanism.
