Abstract: An embodiment is a method and apparatus to meter ink for electrographic printing. An ink loading mechanism having an anilox roller fills ink from an ink supply into cells in the anilox roller having a plurality of valleys and lands that form the cells. The ink loading mechanism causes the valleys to be full or nearly full with the ink. The anilox roller rotates in a first direction. A blanket roller rotationally engaged with the anilox roller pulls the ink out of the cells and causes the valleys to be partially filled. The blanket roller rotates in a second direction. A first cleaning blade cleans tops of the lands of the cells.Another embodiment is a method and apparatus to meter ink for electrographic printing. An ink loading mechanism having an anilox roller fills ink from an ink supply into cells in the anilox roller having a plurality of valleys and lands forming the cells.

Abstract: Methods and systems of ejecting ink drops from an inkjet printer are disclosed. The methods and systems can include a printhead with one or more tapered nozzles each with an associated taper angle and exit diameter. Ink can be received into the printhead and formed into ink drops in the tapered nozzles. The ink drops can each have an associated drop mass and drop speed. The tapered nozzles can be provided such that the exit diameter can independently dictate the drop mass and the taper angle can independently dictate the drop speed. As such, the complexity of jet design optimization is reduced.

Abstract: A ferromagnetic layer is bonded to, or coated on, or in other manner applied to, the surface of a heatable fuser member for fusing dry toner in an image forming device. The ferromagnetic layer promotes inductive heating of the heatable fuser member based on high hysteresis loss exhibited when the ferromagnetic layer is exposed to a magnetic field created by the current flowing through an induction coil or other like device. Suitable materials for the ferromagnetic layer are those which exhibit a high coupling efficiency to the imposed magnetic field. A result is substantially controllable, consistent heating of the heatable fuser member to fuse dry toner onto or into the image bearing surface of an image receiving medium.
