    摘要: A system provides an optimum energy pulse to a resistive heating element (34) in an ink jet print head. The optimum energy pulse provides an optimal energy density at a surface of the heating element to cause optimal nucleation of the ink adjacent the surface of the heating element. The system includes storing in memory (26) values related to heating element dimensions, heating element electrical characteristics, and ink characteristics. Also stored in memory are expressions that provide mathematical relationships between the heating element dimensional values, the heating element electrical values, the ink characteristics, and the amplitude and duration of the optimum energy pulse. The system also includes retrieving from memory the store values and expressions, and determining, based on the expressions, the amplitude and duration of the optimum energy pulse. The system further generates the optimum energy pulse based on the determined amplitude and duration, and provides the optimum energy pulse to the heating element. The energy density provided by the optimum energy pulse is large enough to cause the ink near the heating element to form a bubble and a droplet, but not so large that energy is wasted which cannot be transferred into the ink after the bubble is formed.

    摘要: A system provides a maximum optimal thickness of a protective overcoat (40) covering a resistive heating element (34) to which an optimum energy pulse is provided. The optimum energy pulse provides an optimal energy density at a surface of the heating element to cause optimal nucleation of the ink adjacent the surface of the heating element. The system includes storing in memory (26) values related to heating element dimensions, heating element electrical characteristics, and ink characteristics. Also stored in memory are expressions that provide mathematical relationships between the heating element dimensional values, the heating element electrical values, the ink characteristics, and the maximum optimal thickness of the protective overcoat. The system also includes retrieving from memory the store values and expressions, and determining, based on the expressions, a thickness value representing the maximum optimal thickness of the protective overcoat. The energy density provided by the optimum energy pulse is large enough to cause the ink near the heating element to form a bubble and a droplet, but not so large that energy is wasted which cannot be transferred into the ink after the bubble is formed.

    摘要: Micro-fluid ejection heads and methods for extending the life of micro-fluid ejection heads. One such micro-fluid ejection head includes a substrate having a plurality of thermal ejection actuators. Each of the thermal ejection actuators has a resistive layer and a protective layer thereon. A flow feature member is adjacent the substrate and defines a fluid feed channel, a fluid chamber associated with at least one of the actuators and in flow communication with the fluid feed channel, and a nozzle. The nozzle is offset to a side of the chamber opposite the feed channel. A polymeric layer having a degradation temperature of less than about 400° C. overlaps a portion of the at least one actuator associated with the fluid chamber and positioned less than about five microns from at least an edge of the at least one actuator opposite the fluid feed channel.

    摘要: Flow features in an inkjet printhead (10). The flow features can include a plurality of first channels, each of the plurality of first channels having a first length and positioned to fluidly communicate with an ink reservoir, and each of the plurality of first channels (42) terminating in a first nozzle (22a). The flow features can further include a plurality of second channels (46), each of the plurality of second channels having a second length greater than the first length and positioned to fluidly communicate with the ink reservoir, each of the plurality of second channels terminating in a second nozzle (22b), each second nozzle being larger than each first nozzle.
