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.

A printing system for ejecting rows and columns of ink drops onto a medium which includes a mechanism for scanning a carriage through a print zone over the medium, a printhead mounted on the carriage, the printhead having ink ejection elements arranged in first and second columns of ink ejection elements arranged perpendicular to a scanning direction and a controller for causing the carriage to scan the printhead in a first scanning direction while controlling the ejection of drops of ink from the first column of ink ejection elements at a first ejection frequency and the ejection of drops of ink from the second column of ink ejection elements at a second ejection frequency and causing the carriage to scan the printhead in a second scanning direction opposite to the first scanning direction while controlling the ejection of drops of ink from the first column of ink ejection elements at the second ejection frequency and the ejection of drops of ink from the second column of ink ejection elements at the first ejection frequency. A method of printing by ejecting drops of ink onto a media from a printhead having ink ejection elements arranged in first and second columns of ink ejection elements arranged perpendicular to a scanning axis by moving the printhead in a first scanning direction above the media while ejecting the drops of ink from the first column of ink ejection elements at a first ejection frequency and ejecting the drops of ink from the second column of ink ejection elements at a second ejection frequency and then moving the printhead in a second scanning direction above the media opposite to the first scanning direction while ejecting the drops of ink from the first column of ink ejection elements at the second ejection frequency and ejecting the drops of ink from the second column of ink ejection elements at the first ejection frequency.

An ink jet printhead including a thin film substructure including an elongated gold trace having openings formed therein. An ink barrier layer is disposed on the thin film substructure in contact with the gold trace and the regions exposed by the openings in the elongated gold trace. The openings are configured to provide for reliable adhesion between the ink barrier layer and the regions exposed by the openings in the elongated gold trace.

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 is adapted to jet droplets of black ink of a first volume and the pen(s) for dispensing color ink are adapted to jet droplets of color ink of a second volume, with the first volume being larger than the second volume. Such a color ink-jet printer provides both superior text quality of the black ink and does not require as much ink volume of the color ink(s) as previous ink-jet printers.

A printer for printing on a print medium includes a print module supporting at least one printhead having ink orifices formed in a front face thereof through which ink drops are ejected into a print zone between the printhead and the print medium during printing, and a member extending beyond the front face of the printhead toward the print medium from the print module adjacent the printhead, wherein the member disrupts a boundary layer of air in the print zone between the printhead and the print medium during printing.

An inkjet printhead assembly includes a substrate having an ink feed slot formed therein including a first side and second side along a vertical length of the ink feed slot. A first column of drop generators is formed along the first side of the ink feed slot. A second column of drop generators is formed along the second side of the ink feed slot. Each drop generator includes a nozzle. A nozzle packing density for nozzles in the first and second columns of drop generators including the area of the ink feed slot is at least approximately 100 nozzles per square millimeter (mm2).
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.
