Abstract: An optical sensor for detecting the position of marks on a medium, wherein relative motion is provided between the optical sensor and the medium during an optical sensing operation. The optical sensor produces an electrical sensor signal, and has a field of view at the media in a direction of the relative movement. The marks have a nominal dimension in the direction of the relative movement, and the field of view is larger than the nominal dimension. This produces a sensor signal with a clear and relatively sharp peak in response to scanning the media mark. A method of sensing directional aberrations among ink-jet nozzles of a plurality of printheads mounted on a scanning carriage is described, which includes printing an alignment pattern on a print medium, the alignment pattern comprising a set of target marks printed using a subset of the nozzles on each of the plurality of printheads, and a set of monochrome marks printed using a subset of the nozzles from only one of the printheads, each of the monochrome marks positioned in a nominal position with respect to a corresponding plurality of the target marks, and optically scanning the alignment pattern to determine measurements of relative positions between the monochrome marks and corresponding target marks. In one embodiment, the target marks include an elongated first mark disposed in a scan direction of scanning movement of the scanning carriage, and an elongated second mark disposed in a media moving direction transverse to the scan direction. In another embodiment, the target marks are patches of similar size to the monochrome marks.

Abstract: The present invention is embodied in a system and method for optimizing ink drying time through the incorporation of a system of multiple spaced printheads. The printhead assembly includes connection and processing circuitry, multiple printhead bodies, ink channels, substrates, such as semiconductor wafers (commonly referred to as a die), and nozzle members. The printheads also include controllers for controlling printing on a print media and incorporating a programmable feedback loop. The loop activates the various printheads during printing so that the various data packets are added in a synchronized manner during the print swath. The present invention provides adequate drying time for inks produced in a printing swath on a wide array page. This will result in the use of water based inks compatible with ink jet materials in systems with fast raster scanning.

Abstract: A liquid jet recording head has a recording element unit that has a recording element substrate, a flexible film member electrically connected to the substrate, a support member on which the substrate is fixedly held, and a support plate between the flexible film member and support member fixedly holding the flexible film member. A first thermosetting resin agent, which retains elasticity even after being hardened, is filled into recesses around the recording element substrate within an opening of the flexible film member and an opening of the support plate, and electrical connection areas between the substrate and the flexible film member are coated by a second thermosetting resin agent, which has a higher mechanical strength after being hardened than that of the first resin agent. The substrate is protected from damage due to shrinkage of the resin agent, and the electrical connection area between the substrate and the flexible film member can be protected against external forces.
