    摘要: An electrohydrodynamic inkjet printing system includes a print head with a plurality of ink nozzles arranged in recesses on the print head. A plurality of ejection electrodes located at the ink nozzles. A support structure is arranged in front of the ink nozzles and forming a front surface, wherein the ejection electrodes are arranged on the support structure. Gas from a first gas source and/or from a second gas source is conveyed through gas ducts and or gas is fed through the gas ducts to a gas sink. The gas ducts extend, over at least part of their length, along the support structure.

    摘要: The electrohydrodynamic print head comprises a nozzle carrier with a plurality of nozzles arranged thereon. A plurality of electrodes associated with the nozzles are located on the front side of the nozzles. A support structure supporting the electrodes is located on the nozzle carrier and comprises a plurality of support elements arranged between the nozzles. Ink retainers are arranged between the nozzles and the support elements. The front surfaces of the ink retainers are located behind the front ends of the nozzles in order to prevent the nozzles from being submerged by ink. Guard electrodes can be provided between the ejection electrodes and the ink retainers to reduce the electrical fields at the ink retainers and thereby to improve their efficiency to pin the ink. Suction ducts surrounding each nozzle allow to remove ink from the nozzles.
