    摘要: A liquid discharge device includes a liquid discharge head including a plurality of liquid chambers respectively communicating with a plurality of nozzles and circulating liquid therethrough. Each liquid chamber is provided with a pressure generator for discharging the liquid from a corresponding nozzle. The liquid discharge device further includes a waveform data memory to store drive waveform data including discharge drive waveform data for discharging the liquid according to image data and micro-vibration drive waveform data for causing a micro vibration of a meniscus of the liquid discharge head. The liquid discharge device further includes circuitry configured to generate a drive waveform based on the drive waveform data; apply, to the pressure generator, a discharge drive waveform based on the discharge drive waveform data, in a printing area; and apply, to the pressure generator, a micro-vibration drive waveform based on the micro-vibration drive waveform data, in a non-print area.

    摘要: An ink discharge device is provided including an ink, an ink discharge head, and a circulator. The ink discharge head includes a nozzle, an individual liquid chamber communicated with the nozzle, a flow-in channel, and a flow-out channel. The circulator circulates the ink by letting the ink flow into the individual liquid chamber via the flow-in channel and flow out from the individual liquid chamber via the flow-out channel. A flow rate of the circulated ink is 0.10 to 1.50 times a maximum dischargeable rate of the ink discharge head. A dynamic surface tension A of the ink at 25° C. is 34.0 mN/m or less when measured by a maximum bubble pressure method at a surface lifetime of 15 msec, and the dynamic surface tension A and a static surface tension B of the ink at 25° C. satisfy the following relation: 10.0(%)≤[(A−B)/(A+B)]×100≤19.0(%).

    摘要: A liquid discharge head includes a plurality of nozzles, a plurality of individual liquid chambers, a circulation channel, a circulation common liquid chamber, a common liquid chamber, and a vibration damping member. The plurality of nozzles discharges liquid. The plurality of individual liquid chambers is communicated with the plurality of nozzles. The circulation channel is communicated with the plurality of individual liquid chambers. The circulation common liquid chamber is communicated with the circulation channel. The common liquid chamber supplies the liquid to the plurality of individual liquid chambers. The common liquid chamber includes a first portion disposed side by side with the circulation common liquid chamber in an in-plane direction and a second portion having a width greater than a width of the first portion in the in-plane direction. The vibration damping member is recoverably deformable and constitutes a wall surface of the second portion of the common liquid chamber.

    摘要: An image forming apparatus includes: a liquid ejecting head including a nozzle that ejects a droplet and a pressure producing unit that produces pressure to pressurize a pressure chamber communicating with the nozzle; and a head drive controlling unit that provides a driving signal to the pressure producing unit. The head drive controlling unit outputs the driving signal including at least a first driving pulse and a second driving pulse to eject droplets and a residual vibration suppressing pulse to suppress residual vibration in the pressure chamber without ejecting a droplet. The residual vibration suppressing pulse is output at such a timing that the residual vibration suppressing pulse has an opposite phase to a composite vibration Vab that is formed by superposition of a meniscus vibration Va generated by droplet ejection with the first driving pulse and a meniscus vibration Vb generated by droplet ejection with the second driving pulse.
