摘要:
An ink jet head comprises a plurality of discharge pressure generating elements serving as the discharge pressure source for discharging an ink droplet, an orifice plate having a plurality of ink discharge ports corresponding to the respective discharge pressure generating elements formed therefor, an ink supply port for supplying ink and a nozzle wall forming an ink flow path communicating the ink discharge ports with the ink supply port. The orifice plate and the nozzle wall are formed by resin material, and also, a thin metallic film is formed on the outer surface of the orifice plate. If desired, a water-repellent film is formed further on the surface of the thin metallic film. With the metallic film formed on the surface of the orifice plate, the moisture in ink is effectively prevented from being evaporated. Further, with the provision of the metallic film, it becomes possible to perform the eutectoid plating for the formation of the water-repellent film. With the head thus structured, it becomes possible to stably obtain excellent print quality.

An ink jet head is provided with an orifice plate having a plurality of discharge ports being open thereto. This ink jet head comprises evaporation suppressing groove in the vicinity of the discharge ports. With the arrangement thus formed, it becomes possible to heighten the humidity in the atmosphere in the vicinity of discharge ports, hence suppressing the evaporation from the discharge ports for the prevention of unstable discharges.
摘要:
The present invention provides an ink-jet printing head, and an ink-jet printing apparatus and method which enable high-gradation and high-quality images to be printed using dots of different sizes. In an ink-jet printing head according to the present invention, at least one second nozzle has its center arranged on an imaginary line extending in a main-scanning direction of the printing head through the center of a first nozzle. The volume of an ink droplet ejected through the second nozzle is smaller than that of an ink droplet ejected through the first nozzle. Further, the number of second nozzles is larger than that of first nozzles.

The present invention provides an ink-jet printing head, and an ink-jet printing apparatus and method which enable not only larger-diameter nozzles but also smaller-diameter nozzles to be sufficiently recovered. In an ink-jet printing head according to the present invention, the number of smaller-diameter nozzles is larger than that of larger-diameter nozzles. Further, a plurality of ink channels include first ink channels in communication with the larger-diameter nozzles and second ink channels in communication with the smaller-diameter nozzles. The first ink channels and the second ink channels are mixed and arranged along an ink supply port so that a group of smaller-diameter nozzles composed of a plurality of the smaller-diameter nozzles is arranged between the lager-diameter nozzles.
摘要:
A liquid discharge method allowing a liquid inside a flow path to be heated by a heat generating element (2), thereby to generate a bubble by using a liquid discharge head including an orifice plate (4) having a discharge port (5), heat generating elements symmetrically disposed on the surface opposite to the liquid discharge surface of the orifice plate with the discharge port as a center, and the flow path communicating with the discharge port, and allowing liquid discharged from the discharge port by a volume change accompanied with a generation of bubble, wherein bubble is allowed to advance into the discharge port, and a top end of bubble is allowed to reach at least up to liquid discharge surface (8) of the orifice plate, and a columnar liquid inside the discharge port sandwiched between bubbles is separated by a contraction force caused by a surface tension toward the center of the discharge port.
