    摘要: A common electrohydrodynamic stimulation electrode, in response to an electrical signal, synchronously stimulates all members of a group of fluid jets emitted from corresponding nozzle channels to form a corresponding plurality of continuous streams of drops. The common electrohydrodynamic stimulation electrode includes an electrical contact operable to transmit the electrical signal to each member of the nozzle channels via a contiguous electrically conductive portion. The contiguous electrically conductive portion forms a permanently electrically conductive path between and forms a portion of each nozzle channel. Synchronous stimulation of each of the fluid jets facilitates accurate phase locking of print data dependent charging of the drop streams.

    摘要: A method of, and a control circuit for, determining the exciting voltage to be applied to the nozzle of an ink jet printer to break a stream of ink into droplets for printing includes the steps of slowly increasing the exciting voltage from a minimum value and detecting and recording the value C(H) at which droplet formation first occurs closest to the nozzle. The exciting voltage for printing is estimated by applying electrical test patterns (Figure 6) to the ink droplets such that the patterns will vary in phase relative to droplet timing whereby only some of the test patterns will successfully charge the droplets. After that, those droplets which have been successfully charged are detected and the value C(H) determined from the change in the sequence of detected charge patterns. The exciting voltage for printing is estimated according to the formula V(est) = C(H) - E , where E is a voltage related to the performance on the ink.

    摘要: A continuous liquid ejection system includes a liquid chamber in fluidic communication with a nozzle. The liquid chamber contains liquid under pressure sufficient to eject a liquid jet through the nozzle. A drop formation device is associated with the liquid jet. The drop forming device is actuatable to produce a modulation in the liquid jet to selectively cause portions of the liquid jet to break off into one or more pairs of drops traveling along a path. Each drop pair is separated on average by a drop pair period. Each drop pair includes a first drop and a second drop. The drop formation device is also actuatable to produce a modulation in the liquid jet to selectively cause portions of the liquid jet to break off into one or more third drops traveling along the path separated on average by the same drop pair period. The third drop is larger than the first drop and the second drop. A charging device includes a charge electrode associated with the liquid jet and a source of varying electrical potential between the charge electrode and the liquid jet. The source of varying electrical potential provides a waveform that includes a period that is equal to the period of formation of the drop pairs or the third drops, the drop pair period. The waveform also includes a first distinct voltage state and a second distinct voltage state. The charging device and the drop formation device are synchronized to produce a first charge to mass ratio on the first drop of the drop pair, a second charge to mass ratio on the second drop of the drop pair, and a third charge to mass ratio on the third drop. The third charge to mass ratio is substantially the same as the first charge to mass ratio. A deflection device causes the first drop of the drop pair having the first charge to mass ratio to travel along a first path, and causes the second drop of the drop pair having the second charge to mass ratio to travel along a second path, and causes the third drop having a third charge to mass ratio to travel along a third path. The third path is substantially the same as the first path.

    摘要: A group timing delay device shifts the timing of drop formation waveforms supplied to drop formation devices of one of first and second nozzle groups so that print drops from the nozzle groups are not aligned relative to each other along a nozzle array direction. A charging device includes a common charge electrode associated with liquid jets from the nozzle groups and a source of varying electrical potential between the charge electrode and liquid jets which provides a charging waveform that is independent of a print and non-print drop pattern. The charging device is synchronized with the drop formation devices and the group timing delay device to produce a print drop charge state on print drops of a drop pair, a first non-print drop charge state on non-print drops of the drop pair, and a second non-print drop charge state on third drops.
