    摘要: A liquid discharge apparatus includes a liquid discharge head configured to discharge a liquid, and a drive waveform generator configured to generate a drive waveform to be applied to the liquid discharge head, the drive waveform including a first discharge pulse to cause the liquid discharge head to discharge the liquid, a second discharge pulse after the first discharge pulse, the second discharge pulse to cause the liquid discharge head to discharge the liquid, and a pulse interval between the first discharge pulse and the second discharge pulse, the pulse interval being equal to a time period in which the liquid is discharged by the second discharge pulse in a damping state in which the second discharge pulse is damped by a meniscus vibration generated by the first discharge pulse.

    摘要: A liquid discharge apparatus includes a liquid discharge head to discharge liquid and control circuitry to generate a drive waveform including drive pulses applied to the head. The drive waveform includes a non-discharge pulse not to discharge the liquid and a discharge pulse to discharge the liquid. The non-discharge pulse and the discharge pulse are serial in time in the drive waveform. Td is in a range of Tc−0.2×Tc to Tc+0.45×Tc. Vp1 is in a range of −10% to +10% of Vpp1. Td represents a time interval between the non-discharge pulse and the discharge pulse. Tc represents a natural vibration period of a pressure chamber of the head. Vp1 represents a peak value of the non-discharge pulse. Vpp1 represents a peak value of the non-discharge pulse at which a droplet speed of liquid discharged by the discharge pulse takes a local minimum value.
