Abstract: A print element band (5) supports a series of print elements (35) via chevron shaped deflectable fingers (33) for printing movement upon impact by hammers of a hammer bank (2). The fingers (33) are formed integrally of the band (5) by symmetrical V-shaped slots (31, 32) which are shaped to reduce undesirable stresses and provide for more accurate finger deflection. The shape of each V-shaped slot (31, 32) is such that the width of each finger (33) is less in regions (41) where it is attached to the rest of the band (5) than in the region (42) of the apex of the finger.
