摘要:
A printing system (30, 40, 40′, 50, 50′) includes at least one ejector coupled to a reservoir (38) that is configured to contain a printing composition including a hydrocarbon having at least one unsaturated bond. The hydrocarbon is configured to at least one of polymerize or crosslink in the presence of a reactive species. The at least one ejector is configured to eject the printing composition onto a surface (34, 36, 10). The system (30, 40, 40′, 50, 50′) further includes a corona generator (32, 32′, 32″, 32′″) configured to generate the reactive species in situ. The corona generator (32, 32′, 32″, 32′″) is positioned with respect to the reservoir (38) such that the reactive species is exposed to the printing composition after the printing composition has been ejected onto the surface (34, 36, 10). The polymerizing and/or the cross-linking of the hydrocarbon is configured to form a polymer matrix (12) from the ejected printing composition.

摘要:
Emulsion-based thermal inkjet inks include a high boiling point carrier fluid; a colorant; and vesicles comprising a low boiling point expellant fluid, and an ionic surfactant comprising molecules, each having a head with affinity to expellant fluid material and a tail with affinity to carrier fluid, the vesicles having a core defined by the heads of the surfactant molecules, the expellant fluid contained in the core, with the vesicles dispersed in the carrier fluid. A method for preparing the thermal inkjet inks is also disclosed.

Printers, methods, and apparatus to reduce aerosol are disclosed. An example apparatus to reduce aerosol includes a print head (102) to generate droplets (314-320) and aerosol (322-326), and to direct the droplets (314-320) toward a print substrate (104), a first corona wire (108) to generate first ions (340, 344) having a first electrical polarity to direct the aerosol (322-326) toward the print substrate (104), and a second corona wire (110) to generate second ions (340, 344) to direct the aerosol (322-326) toward the print substrate (104), wherein the second ions (340, 344) have a second electrical polarity that is opposite the first electrical polarity.
摘要:
An imaging device can include an imaging drum to support a carrier fluid. A roller can remove a portion of the carrier fluid from the imaging drum. A fluid container can collect the carrier fluid from the roller. A fluid remover on the container can be used to remove the carrier fluid from the roller.
