摘要:
A fluid ejection head comprises a heater disposed in a fluid path. A bubble is generated by supplying electric power to the heater, and ink is ejected in a direction substantially parallel to a face of the heater. The fluid path is shaped to have a first part with a constant-sectional area adjacent to an ejection orifice a second part located behind the first part and containing the heater. The cross-sectional area of the second part increases by twice as large as the cross-sectional area of the ejection orifice, a length (A) between an end of the first part of the fluid path and a top end of the heater is greater than or equal to half of the height Ph of the ejection orifice, and a shortest gap between the ejection orifice and the heater is less than or equal to a sum of a half of the height Ph of the ejection orifice and a length (L) of the first part of the fluid path.

A liquid jet recording method of recording on a recording material with liquid droplets discharged trough plural scanning nozzles, in which: n/(s/p)≧2 n/(s/p)×k=g−1 are satisfied, where n (n≧2) is a number of the nozzles arranged at pitch P (&mgr;m); s (&mgr;m) is a distance of relative movement between the nozzles and the recording material between adjacent scans; k (k≧1) is a maximum number of ink droplets per pixel and per scan; g (g≧3) is a number of tone levels.
摘要:
A liquid jet recording method for recording on a recording material with liquid droplets discharged through plural scanning nozzles arranged in a width measured in a direction of main scan. The recording method includes a first main scan by relative movement between the nozzles and the recording material, in which pixels are recorded with numbers of droplets through a nozzle, the numbers of droplets corresponding to respective tone signals. The method also includes a sub-scan by relative movement between the nozzles and the recording material in a direction crossing with a movement direction of the first main scan. The method further includes a second main scan in which the pixels are recorded with numbers of droplets through a different nozzle, the latter numbers of droplets corresponding to tone level signals. The sub-scan and second main scan steps are repeated to record a tone image by discharging plural droplets for a pixel.

摘要:
Each of pixels of recorded image is formed by a plurality of dots composed with ink droplets ejected from a plurality of different orifices at individual different main-scannings. With this recording process, the variation of ink ejection characteristics between a plurality of orifices in a recording head can be reduced in forming pixels.

An ink from an ink supply opening 32a is supplied to a receptacle portions 50 respectively receiving heater portions 32ai to 32an and 32bi to 32bn via the branched ink supply passages 42ai to 42an and 42bi to 42bn.
摘要:
An ink jet recording apparatus includes an ink jet recording head as an essential component, and the ink jet recording head has a wiring structure which assures that a quantity of electricity loss induced by wiring resistance can be reduced. A plurality of substantially rectangular heaters 2 are formed at the positions in the vicinity of one end edge 1a of a device substrate 1 while they are arranged in an array in parallel with the one end edge 1a of the device substrate 1 with a predetermined distance held between adjacent heaters 2. Each heater 2 is composed of heaters 2a and 2b in the form of a pair. A common wiring portion 3 made of a metallic material such as aluminum or the like is formed between a pair of heaters 2, and it is electrically connected to electrodes of the heaters 2 on one side of the latter on the common basis. In addition, separated wiring portions 4 each made of a metallic material such as aluminum or a similar material are formed on electrodes of the heaters 2 on the opposite side to the foregoing one.
