摘要:
An ink jet recording apparatus for recording by discharging recording liquid droplets from the discharge openings to a recording material for the adhesion of the liquid droplets on the recording material for the formation of images includes the carrier path for carrying the recording material, heating means arranged for the carrier path to heat the recording material and recording liquid. This heating means is provided with a heater having radiation characteristics with the peak waveform of the maximum value within a range of radiated infrared radiation ratio ε of 4 µm to 10 µm wavelength. With the provision of this heating means, it is possible to effectuate a high coloring with a lesser amount of spread, and to suppress bleeding for the reduction of cockling. As a result, the quality of recorded images is enhanced. Also, the power dissipation is made lower to enable the capacitance of the power supply smaller. Also, with the smaller numbers of attachment, the heater unit can be made small enough for a printer for personal use.
摘要:
An ink-jet recording method comprises actuating a heating element which is in contact with an ink in a recording head, in response to a recording signal, to heat the ink thereby creating bubbles in the ink and thus ejecting ink droplets from the head so that recording is effected with the ink droplets. The ink is a liquid having a property such that its viscosity changes abruptly when heated and the heating element generates heat so that the average heat flux q o from the surface of the heating element to the ink satisfies the condition represented by the following formula: q o ≦ ακπ S T B - T o 2 4 V T P - T o where κ denotes the coefficient of thermal conductivity of the ink, S the effective area of the heating element, V the volume of ink droplets ejected by one driving operation, T B the temperature of the ink at which bubbles are created in the ink, To the temperature of the ink before the ink is ejected, T P the transition temperature of the ink at which the abrupt change in the viscosity occurs, and α the correction factor 1.5.

A metal film has a cubic crystal structure having a periodic pattern of crystal orientation in a plane. The crystal orientation is gradually rotated about a particular crystal-axis direction (15) such that a {100} plane, a {110} plane, and a {111} plane appear.
摘要:
An ink jet head has an element (120) formed on a substrate (100), having a laminated structure, and comprising a small-sized electromagnet having a coil (103) and a core (102), electrodes (104) for conducting electricity through the electromagnet, a film (105a) that isolates the electromagnet and the electrodes from ink, and a displacing plate (106) having of magnetic materials located opposite the core via the film. A liquid passage and an ink ejection openings are formed on this element. Ink droplets are ejected by exerting pressure required to eject the ink using the attraction/returning of the displacing plate associated with the application/elimination of magnetic force carried out by conducting/interrupting current through the electromagnet. Thus, an ink jet head is provided which has excellent ejection stability and power and which achieves dot-based gradation.

摘要:
The ink jet recording apparatus of this invention comprises a means (67) for heating a record material to a predetermined temperature range at the position of recording, a recording head (41) for ejecting ink (46) from an ink ejection orifice (49) toward the record material to perform recording, the ink containing a substance having thickening properties when undergoing heat, and/or a substance having a cloud point for the heat; a means (69) for measuring the duration for which the recording head resides at the position of recording; and means for controlling the duration of residence in accordance with the properties of the ink to prevent the ejection function being impaired owing to the heating of the surroundings of the ink ejection orifice. This invention can provide an ink jet recording method which determines a rise in the temperature in the surroundings of the ink ejection orifice on the basis of the duration of residence of the recording head at the position of recording for the purpose of recording, and which performs control to suppress the temperature rise before the ejection function is interrupted.
