    摘要: A method of forming a fluid chamber and a source of fluid impedance includes providing a substrate having a surface; depositing a first material layer on the surface of the substrate, the first material layer being differentially etchable with respect to the substrate; removing a portion of the first material layer thereby forming a patterned first material layer and defining the fluid chamber boundary location; depositing a sacrificial material layer over the patterned first layer; removing a portion of the sacrificial material layer thereby forming a patterned sacrificial material layer and further defining the fluid chamber boundary location; depositing at least one additional material layer over the patterned sacrificial material layer; forming a hole extending from the at least one additional material layer to the sacrificial material layer, the hole being positioned within the fluid chamber boundary location; removing the sacrificial material layer in the fluid chamber boundary location by introducing an etchant through the hole; forming the fluid chamber by introducing an etchant through the hole; and forming a source of fluid impedance.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method that enables image quality of a printed image to be maintained by reducing unintended variations in drop volume, through the adjustment of ink drop ejecting conditions depending on the amount of ink remaining in an ink tank chamber or reservoir, and/or the ink demand for printing an image. The method of printing of the present invention comprises: providing a printhead in fluid communication with an ink chamber or reservoir; detecting at least one parameter related to an amount of negative pressure provided to the printhead; and adjusting an ink drop ejecting condition of the printhead as a function of the parameter so that an amount of variation in size of ejected ink drop is reduced.

    摘要: The present invention relates generally to the field of inkjet printing, and in particular to a method of printing that provides improved ink usage efficiency. In the method of the present invention a threshold level of ink in an ink chamber or reservoir is stored. The remaining amount of ink in the ink chamber or reservoir is monitored and compared to the threshold level. When the remaining amount of ink in the ink chamber or reservoir is below the threshold level, an ink throughput through the printhead for a printed image is reduced.

    摘要: An ink jet printer includes a printhead having a plurality of segments each having ink ejecting nozzles, each segment supplied with ink of a different characteristic. Means are provided for moving the printhead in a direction transverse to the advancing movement of a recording medium. Means are further provided for moving the printhead between two or more positions along the recording medium advance direction. Thus, the printhead can print a swath of ink of a first characteristic from one segment and then be moved to print a second swath from a second segment with ink of a second characteristic. In one embodiment, a printhead has two segments, one printing in black, and the other in color. A shift mechanism is enabled to move the printhead between a black print position and a color print position. The invention contemplates alternate color printing swaths at alternate printing positions along the same printing swath, or a combination thereof.

    摘要: A system controls an ink jet printing apparatus for propelling ink jet droplets on demand from a printhead having a plurality of drop ejectors. In the printhead, each ejector includes a heating element actuable in response to electrical input signals, each input signal having an amplitude and a time duration, selectably applied to the heating element to produce a temporary vapor bubble and cause a quantity of ink to be emitted for the creation of a mark on a copy sheet. The temperature of ink in the printhead is sensed, and a combination of power level and time duration of the electrical input signal for the heating element to result in a desired size of the mark of the copy sheet is selected, by entering the sensed temperature of the ink into a predetermined function relating the energy of the electrical input signal to the corresponding resulting size of the mark on the copy sheet.

    摘要: A thermal ink jet printer is disclosed which has a printhead that is maintained at a substantially constant operating temperature during printing. Printing on demand is accomplished by the ejection of ink droplets from the printhead nozzles in response to energy pulses selectively applied to heating elements located in ink channels upstream from the nozzles which pulses vaporize the ink to form temporary bubbles. To prevent printhead temperature fluctuations during printing, especially in translatable carriage printers, the heating elements not being used to eject droplets are selectively energized with energy pulses having insufficient magnitude to vaporize the ink.
