摘要： In one embodiment, a printing system includes an inkjet printhead configured to traverse bi directionally over a printzone printing one swath in a first direction, and a subsequent swath in a second direction opposite the first direction, with the printhead rising to a base temperature in response to a pre warming signal prior to beginning a swath. The printing system also includes a temperature sensor configured to monitor the temperature of the printhead. A controller is configured to generate the pre warming signal in response to an end of swath temperature monitored by the temperature sensor following printing the one swath.

摘要： A printhead for an inkjet printer having geometric features which reduce drop placement error of main and satellite drops ejected from the nozzles of the printhead. Nozzles that are tilted along an axis corresponding to the direction of scanning of the printhead while printing have reduced drop placement error in the orthogonal direction to the scanning, and create a breakoff velocity for the satellite drop that can cause the main and satellite drops to be placed in a coincident location on the medium in one of the directions of scanning, thus forming desireable round printed spots and reducing drop placement error in the scan direction. These improvements can be repeatably achieved for all nozzles. Nozzles with non-circular and asymmetric bores also reduce drop placement errors, particularly when these types of nozzles are also tilted.

摘要： A color ink-jet printer is provided, with one pen for dispensing black ink onto a print medium and at least one pen for dispensing color ink onto a print medium. The pen for dispensing black ink contains a pigment-based ink and the pen(s) for dispensing color ink contain a water-miscible dye-based ink. Such a color ink-jet printer provides both superior text quality (black ink) and relative ease of service (color inks), since the black ink is used more than the color inks and thus tends to require less spitting due to its frequency of use. On the other hand, since the color inks are used less, the utilization of water-miscible inks, which require less spitting than pigmented inks to keep the nozzle clear, also require less spitting even with relatively lower frequency of use.

摘要翻译： 提供了一种彩色喷墨打印机，其中一支笔将黑色墨水分配到打印介质上，以及至少一根笔，用于将彩色墨水分配到打印介质上。 用于分配黑色墨水的笔包含颜料基墨水，并且用于分配彩色墨水的笔包含与水可混溶的染料基墨水。 这种彩色喷墨打印机具有优异的文字质量（黑色油墨）和相对的易用性（彩色油墨），因为黑色油墨比彩色油墨更多使用，因此由于其使用频率而倾向于需要较少的吐痰 。 另一方面，由于使用较少的彩色油墨，因此即使在相对较低的使用频率下，也可能需要较少的喷射，因此与颜料油墨相比较少喷墨以保持喷嘴清洁的水混溶性油墨的使用也需要较少的喷射。

摘要： An inkjet printer system fires smaller ink droplets in a single-pass print mode to achieve addressible print resolution of 600 dpi in the carriage scan axis along with 300 dpi resolution in the media advance axis, without having to employ any dot-depletion algorithms. In one embodiment, the system provides a fast print mode which prints the smaller drops of ink on a 300 dpi grid in the carriage scan axis. In another embodiment, the system provides a single-pass color print mode wherein primary colors are printed with two color droplets of the same primary color in two adjacent sub-pixels on the 300.times.600 grid, and secondary colors are printed with two color droplets of different primary colors in two adjacent sub-pixels on the 300.times.600 grid.

摘要： A method of inkjet printing includes establishing a back pressure corresponding to a desired print mode in a printhead and changing the back pressure in response to changes in print mode. A printing system for printing in a number of distinct print modes includes an inkjet pen having a printhead and a back pressure control unit having multiple back pressure settings. The back pressure is set to a first value when the printing system is operating in a first print mode to a second value when the printing system is operating in a second print mode. In another embodiment, the printing system includes structure for controlling meniscus condition in the printhead nozzles by selectively changing back pressure.
