    摘要: Disclosed is an inkjet print cartridge including an ink reservoir; a substrate having a plurality of individual ink firing chambers with an ink firing element in each chamber along a top surface of said substrate and having a first outer edge along a periphery of substrate; the first outer edge being in close proximity to the ink firing chambers. The ink firing chambers are arranged in a first chamber array and a second chamber array and with the firing chambers spaced so as to provide 600 dots per inch printing. An ink channel connects the reservoir with the ink firing chambers, the channel including a primary channel connected at a first end with the reservoir and at a second end to a secondary channel; the primary channel allowing ink to flow from the ink reservoir, around the first outer edge of the substrate to the secondary channel along the top surface of the substrate so as to be proximate to the ink firing chambers. A separate inlet passage defined by a barrier layer for each firing chamber connecting the secondary channel with the firing chamber for allowing high frequency refill of the firing chamber. The separate inlet passage for each firing chamber having peninsulas and pinch points formed in the barrier layer to prevent cross-talk and overshoot during high frequency operation. A group of the firing chambers in adjacent relationship forming a primitive in which only one firing chamber in said primitive is activated at a time. A first circuit on said substrate connect to the firing elements and a second circuit on the cartridge connect to the first circuit, for transmitting firing signals to the ink firing elements at a frequency greater than 9 kHz. The preferred configuration of the nozzle member, ink channels, and vaporization chambers allows a printing resolution of 600 dpi and a firing rate of greater than 9 kHz.

    摘要: The use of lumped resistive elements (28) in an ink feed channel (10) between an ink-propelling element, such as a resistor, (12) and an ink supply plenum (14) provides a means of achieving resistive decoupling and meniscus resonance control with a minimum of deleterious side effects and design compromises typical of prior art solutions. A secondary constriction (30) in the ink feed channel is defined by a width W.sub.2 sufficient to provide physical support for the resistive elements while avoiding resistance to ink refill. The printhead further comprises lead-in lobes (38) for assisting in purging any bubbles in the ink. The lobes are disposed between the projections and the plenum chamber and separate one pair of projections from a neighboring pair.

    摘要: An orificeless thin film printhead for an ink jet pen which comprises a substrate having a plurality of vortex activators thereon, and ink dispensing means located adjacent to the substrate for providing a thin layer of ink of a controlled thickness over the surfaces of the vortex activators. A protective cover is disposed on the surface of the substrate and has one or more slots or other openings therein operative to expose the vortex activators during ink jet printhead operation. When each vortex activator is energized, the energy transferred from the surface of the activator into the liquid film creates a microjet and a shear force therein, followed by the formation of a vortex ring in the ink film. The vortex ring is in turn self-propelled at a relatively low velocity through the ink film to the free liquid surface thereby, producing stress at this surface to allow the high velocity ink at the core of the vortex ring to be efficiently transferred to an adjacent print medium with a high degree of directionality, thereby enhancing resolution and print quality on the printed media. In accordance with the present invention, vortex activators include, but without limitation, heater resistors, piston drivers, and piezoelectric cavities.
