Abstract: An ink-jet printhead assembly including an elongated printhead carriage for supporting a plurality of printheads for movement across a path of travel of print media. The carriage includes a pair of ends and a region disposed equidistant the ends. The carriage supports a pair of staggered printhead arrays and each one of the pair of printhead arrays includes a plurality of spaced apart printheads. At least two of the plurality of printheads have an orifice plate having an edge disposed adjacent the central region, wherein the centrally disposed edge of each one of the orifice plates is collinear with an edge of each of the other centrally disposed orifice plates.

Abstract: An ink jet printer includes a switch board for specifying a type of a recording sheet, printing speed and a resolution, a mode selection section for selecting a printing mode based on the input from the switch board. The driving pulse for driving the piezoelectric element is selected based on the printing mode and the result of analysis of the print data as to the density of the ink dots for avoiding blotting, bleeding and mixing of the ink.

Abstract: An ink-jet apparatus employs a platen having an array of vacuum ports that are each filtered. The filter is constructed to provide restricted-airflow rates which remain uniform when the platen is either fully covered or partially uncovered. The filter mechanism provides both airflow restrictions such that ink drop flight trajectories in the printing zone are unaffected, acoustic dampening of the vacuum pump is provided, and vacuum pressure is kept relatively high proximate the print media edges.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, an inkjet pattern with high dot integrity is printed on a wide range of paper types with high reliability at speeds comparable to offset printing. The method consists of a combination of steps by which ink droplets, ejected from an inkjet array head with built in redundancy, are deposited in-line to avoid visual imperfections and are heated on a patterned intermediate transfer surface to decrease their size and increase their viscosity before being transferred to a printing surface. Dots immediately adjacent to one another in the pattern are printed in separate passes to retain dot integrity.

Abstract: An ink-jet image recording apparatus including a sheet feed mechanism feeding a recording sheet along a sheet feed path; an ink-jet recording head provided in the sheet feet path so as to record an image on the recording sheet transported through the sheet feed path, by projecting ink droplets to the recording sheet; and an ink viscosity adjusting mechanism provided in the sheet feet path and providing a substance layer on the recording sheet at an upstream side of the recording head, such that the recording head records the image through the substance layer. The ink viscosity adjusting mechanism further removes the substance layer from the recording sheet at a downstream side of the recording head after the image is recorded.

Abstract: A recording medium for use in ink-jet recording. The recording medium has a substrate and at least one porous resin layer formed on the substrate. The porous resin layer comprises heteromorphic microspheres formed of a thermoplastic resin. The invention also encompasses a process for producing a recording medium having at least one porous resin layer on a substrate. The process includes the steps of applying to the substrate a coating formulation comprising polymer colloid in which heteromorphic microspheres are dispersed, and drying the coating formulation at a temperature lower than the lowest film-forming temperature of the heteromorphic microspheres.

Abstract: A thermal printing station includes a split rotary platen, which is driven in rotation to move a paper web across a thermal print head held against the split rotary platen. The split rotary platen includes a motor-driven shaft, a main platen roll driven by the shaft, and a platen roll extension, which is slidable along the shaft between a first position, in which the platen roll extension is engaged with to turn with the main platen roll, and a second position, in which the platen roll extension is disengaged from the main platen roll, being allowed to remain stationary due to friction forces arising from contact with the thermal print head. The first position is used for printing on a wide paper web, while the second position is used for printing on a narrow paper web, which extends only along the main platen roll. A clip is attached to the shaft to hold the platen roll extension in the first or second position.

Abstract: A receptor medium with a sheet having an embossed imaging surface as one major surface thereof The receptor medium can receive jettable materials, which include inks, adhesives, biological fluids, chemical assay reagents, particulate dispersions, waxes, and combinations thereof. The embossed medium unexpectedly solves such common inkjet printing problems as feathering, banding, and mudcracking in inkjet printing systems by controlling how an inkjet drop contacts and dries on an inkjet receptor medium. Clear lines of demarcation between adjoining colors of a pigmented inkjet image graphic can be obtained, Methods of making and using the inkjet receptor medium are also disclosed.
