摘要:
An ink absorbing body stores an ink injected into an ink tank for an ink-jet with capillary force between fiber. On a surface of said fiber before filling the ink, a surfactant is deposited within a range of 0.002 to 0.2wt% relative to a weight of the ink or in a range of 0.01 to 0.5wt% relative to a weight of the fiber.

An ink absorber (24,25,26,28,34,45,46) is housed inside a housing of an ink tank (20,30,40) and is capable of retaining ink. The ink absorber (24,25,26,28,34,45,46) has an outer surface equal to or corresponding to a shape of an internal surface of the housing and is made of a fiber material obtained by compressing a fiber body and thermally molding at least a surface thereof. An ink tank (20,30,40) is comprised of the ink absorber (24,25,26,28,34,45,46) and the housing. An ink jet cartridge is comprised of the ink tank (20,30,40) and a print head (21,31). A process for producing the ink tank comprises a first molding step of molding a continuous fiber aggregate of a rod shape or a plate shape with elasticity, a step of cutting the fiber aggregate thus molded to form a fiber body, a second molding step of subjecting the fiber body to compression and thermal molding so as to provide the fiber body with an outer surface corresponding to a shape of the inside of the housing, thus forming an ink absorber and a step of inserting the ink absorber into the inside of the housing.
摘要:
Employing a multi-value heater which can obtain high level gradation, a circuit construction can be simplified, and compact head can be realized. Therefore, corresponding to a plurality of ejection openings, a plurality of heating elements (201(1)... 201(n)) are provided corresponding thereto. The heating elements (201(1)... 201(n)) are supplied selection signal so as to be driven selectively.
