The research progress of piezoelectric inkjet heads for cell printing was reviewed. The critical factors that affect the print quality were summarized from the perspective of piezoelectric inkjet head, which mainly include the pressure wave form of the inkjet chamber, the piezoelectric ceramic driving power, the hydrodynamic characteristics of ink jet head and the geometric shape design of the nozzle. Meanwhile, the specific impacts of these factors on cell printing were analyzed and discussed. The research achievement has important reference significance for improving desktop printer applied to cell printing, promoting the design scheme of piezoelectric inkjet head for cell printing and accelerating the application development of cell printing.
