Abstract: An apparatus and related method for automatically aligning one or more print head modules in an ink jet printing system are provided. A mounting supports and aligns a print head module with respect to three axes of movement. The mounting includes rotatable cams that contact control surfaces connected to the print head module to move the print head module in a desired direction. The related method automatically positions multiple stationary print heads with respect to three axes of movement, including rotational adjustment about a Z-axis. The method also automatically adjusts the position of a single print head with respect to its angular rotation about the Z-axis.

Abstract: A printing system includes a print head to deliver ink to an image receptor and at least one ink reservoir to deliver ink to the print head. Driving circuitry provides signals to the print head to control delivery of the ink and a flexible circuit interposed between the print head and the ink reservoirs connects the driving circuitry to the print head. The flexible circuit may include a heater to provide heat to the ink reservoirs. Alternatively, the flexible circuit may be replaced with a rigid substrate having a heater within its layers.

Abstract: A print head has an array of jets formed in a jet stack to deliver ink to an image receptor and at least one ink reservoir to deliver ink to the jet stack. Control circuitry is arranged on the jet stack with an actuator array arranged on the control circuitry to cause the reservoir to deliver ink in response to signals from the control circuitry. A ground plane is arranged between the actuators and the ink reservoir. A print head has an array of jets formed into a jet stack to deliver ink to a printing medium and an actuator array formed on the jet stack, each actuator separated from other actuators by gaps. A spacer is arranged on the jet stack so as to fill the gaps between the actuators.
