A liquid ink printing apparatus printing images includes a printhead (20) having a plurality of nozzles (74) wherein a single power pulse causes two or more nozzles to eject ink simultaneously. The printhead includes an ink directing element (78) having a plurality of ink conduits coupled to an array of spaced nozzles and a transducer element (77) aligned with and mated to the ink directing element. The transducers are spaced a distance apart and each transducer is substantially aligned with at least two or more of the nozzles. The printhead is stepped in a direction transverse to the array of spaced nozzles a stepping distance approximately equal to or less than the distance between transducers. The ink directing element includes a silicon wafer having etched ink conduits or channels holding ink for ejection through the nozzles connected thereto. In one embodiment, each transducer is cooperatively associated with one channel having a fork member coupled to two or more nozzles or is cooperatively associated with two or more channels wherein each channel is connected to one or more nozzles.

A process for producing an ink jet recording head for ejecting an ink and more particularly a process for producing orifices in the ink jet recording head is disclosed. This process comprises the steps of: providing an orifice plate constituting said ink jet recording head; and irradiating laser beams sequentially which are symmetrical each other in intensity distribution thereof onto same portion of said orifice plate which corresponds to an aimed ink passage so as to form the orifice.

There is disclosed an ink jet head comprising channels (5, 6) separated from one another by elongate barriers (2, 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e) of piezoelectric material, wherein alternate channels (5) are filled with ink whereas the other channels (6) are dummy channels. The ink is ejected from the channels(5) through nozzles (11) by the application of a voltage to electrodes (4, 4b1, 4b2, 4c1, 4c2, 4d1, 4d2) along the sides of the elongate barriers (2, 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2c).

Anordnung für einen Tintendruckkopf aus einzelnen Tintendruckmodulen in Stapelbauweise, die nach dem Edge-Shooter-Prinzip arbeiten und mit plattenförmigen piezoelektrischen Aktoren ausgerüstet sind, deren Elektroden mit Anschlußleitungen eines Bandleiters kontaktiert sind. Der Tintendruckkopf ist für den Einsatz in kleinen schnellen Druckern vorgesehen, wobei eine größere Anzahl von Düsen benötigt werden. Es werden eine Vereinfachung des Druckkopfaufbaus und eine Verbesserung der Serviceeigenschaften angestrebt. Aufgabengemäß soll der Tintendruckkopf aus einzelnen identischen Tintendruckmodulen, deren Düsenreihen zueinander versetzt angeordnet sind, so aufgebaut sein, daß die Tintendruckmodule leicht auswechselbar sind, daß die Anzahl der Bauelemente verringert und Justieraufwand weitgehend vermieden werden. Erfindungsgemäß ist die die Anschlußleitungen 22, 23, 32, 33 umhüllende Trägerschicht 21, 31 des Bandleiters 2 und 3 im Bereich zwischen den Tintendruckmodulen 1, 4 derart verstärkt und geformt, daß der erforderliche Abstand zwischen den Piezoaktoren 15, 41 und zwischen den Düsenreihen der Tintendruckmodule 1, 4 sowie eine genaue Fixierung derselben zueinander erzielt werden. Die Bandleiter 2 und 3 dienen auf diese Weise als Kontaktelement, als Distanzstück und als Justierstück für die Tintendruckmodule 1, 4. Komplizierte Gehäuse und Frontmasken entfallen damit.
