摘要： A test pattern is scanned to find ideal print-medium advance for a pen (or other marking device). The pattern has a medium; and, marked on it, image patches each with overlapped swaths stepped by different distances. At best there are different-color pens; and for each distance a set of patches, each with a patch for each color (preferably area fills at sensitive tones by color). All patches in a set are best adjacent along a scan direction, with alignment lines above each set across the whole pattern, and a nozzle-conditioning patch at each image patch. A processor prints the pattern, operates a sensor and uses its signals to find optimum advance. The system finds and prints with ideal advance for a most-active pen; or weighs pen activity to find an optimum for all pens based on certain statistical and/or prospective choices.

摘要： A thermal ink jet printer for printing an image on a receiver and method of assembling the printer. The printer comprises a print head defining a first chamber and a second chamber therein. The first chamber contains a working fluid and the second chamber contains an ink body. A flexible membrane separates the first chamber and the second chamber. A first transducer in the first chamber induces a first pressure wave in the working fluid that flexes the membrane into the second chamber to pressurize the ink body and eject an ink drop from the second chamber through an outlet. A second transducer in the first chamber induces a second pressure wave that flexes the membrane into the second chamber to damp the first pressure wave transmitted into the second chamber.

摘要： A gray inkjet ink having a black colorant and at least one cyan, magenta, or yellow colorant. By adjusting the amount of cyan, magenta, or yellow colorant in the inkjet ink, a gray inkjet ink having a neutral, warm, cool, or sepia tone is produced. At least one gray inkjet ink is used in a black ink set or an eight-color ink set to produce black and white images having high resolution. Methods of producing black and white images having desired gray tones are also disclosed.

摘要： A thermal ink jet printer having enhanced heat removal capability and method of assembling the printer. The thermal inkjet printer includes a thermal inkjet print bead adapted to hold an ink body therein. A heating element is adapted to be in fluid communication with the ink body for generating heat to heat the ink body. A vapor bubble forms in the ink body to eject an ink drop when the heating element causes the ink body to reach a predetermined temperature. Presence of the vapor bubble forces on ink drop out the printer to form an image on a recording medium. A conductive heat removal structure is in thermal communication with the heating element and is also in fluid communication with the ink body. Heat generated by the heating element is transferred from the heating element and into the heat removal structure. The heat removal structure then surrenders the heat to the ink body, which functions as an “infinite” heat sink. In this manner, the heat removal structure provides enhanced heat removal of heat generated by the heating element.
