A recording liquid contains a coloring matter, a solvent for dissolving or dispersing the coloring matter, and a nonionic surfactant, wherein the recording liquid has a foaming power of 0 mm to 50 mm and a foam stability of 0 mm to 50 mm, the foaming power and the foam stability being determined by substantially the same test method as that used to determine the foaming power and foam stability according to JIS-K3362. A liquid cartridge containing the recording liquid, a liquid ejection cartridge which ejects the recording liquid, a liquid ejection apparatus, and a liquid ejection method are also disclosed.

A liquid ejection head includes an energy-generating element arranged on a semiconductor substrate, a barrier layer deposited on the semiconductor substrate for forming a liquid chamber in the periphery of the energy-generating element, and a nozzle sheet bonded on the barrier layer and having a nozzle formed at a position opposing the energy-generating element, in which the liquid ejection head ejects liquid contained in the liquid chamber from the nozzle as liquid droplets by the energy-generating element, and the barrier layer is provided with a plurality of depressions, each having an independent contour, arranged within a range, which is separated from the border of the barrier layer, on an adhesive region adhering to the nozzle sheet.
摘要:
An ink jet printer (100) ejects ink drops from a plurality of nozzles and drops the ink drops on paper P, thus recording information including a character and/or an image in the form of dots based on the ink drops. The ink jet printer (100) has a line head (120) having a driving element for ejecting ink drops from the nozzles. The ink jet printer (100) causes the line head (120) to scan the same portion on the paper P only once in one print and drives the line head (120) to modulate the diameter of a dot by the number of ink drops, using one or a plurality of ink drops for forming one dot.

Disclosed is an ink liquid used in a printer device of the ink jet system for recording an image or letters/characters. A surfactant containing an organic compound represented by the following chemical formula 1: where m and n are integers not less than 1, is contained in an ink 2 to prevent blurring or bleeding from being produced at a point of deposition of an ink liquid droplet.

An image forming apparatus for forming an image on a recording medium is disclosed. The image forming apparatus includes a print head (4) having an ink emitting surface (6) in which there are formed a plural number of ink emitting openings (13). An ink is emitted from the ink emitting openings (13) for forming an image on a recording medium. The image forming apparatus also includes an emission controller (41) for controlling the ink emission from the ink emitting openings (13) formed in the ink emitting surface (6). The emission controller (41) is responsive to an input image signal to control the quantity of preliminary ink emission from one or more of the ink emitting openings (13) or to select one or more of the ink emitting openings (13). In this manner, the quantity of the preliminary ink emission from the ink emitting openings (13) is controlled, or one or more of the ink emitting openings (13) is selected, responsive to the image signal, to diminish the wasteful ink emission and to clean the ink emitting openings (13) or the vicinity without damaging the ink emitting surface (6).
摘要:
Disclosed is a liquid jetting device which includes: a liquid chamber for containing a liquid to be jetted out; an energy generation element for imparting energy to the liquid in the liquid chamber; and a nozzle for jetting out the liquid in the liquid chamber as a droplet by the energy generation element. In the liquid jetting device, a plurality of the nozzles are arrayed to constitute a head, and a plurality of the heads are arrayed in a direction orthogonal to the array direction of the nozzles to constitute a head array. In addition, the droplet jetted out from each of the nozzle in the head array is deposited on a recording medium to form a dot. Further, the jetting direction of the droplet jetted out from the nozzle can be deflected by controlling the manner in which the energy is imparted to the liquid by the energy generation element. Furthermore, an error in the deposition position of the dot due to an error in the position of the head in the head array is corrected.
