Abstract: Described herein is a method and apparatus for driving a drop ejection device to produce variable sized drops with multi-pulse waveforms. In one embodiment, a method for driving a drop ejection device having an actuator includes applying a multi-pulse waveform having at least one drive pulse and at least one break off pulse to the actuator. The method further includes building a drop of a fluid with the at least one drive pulse. The method further includes accelerating the break off of the drop with the at least one break off pulse. The method further includes causing the drop ejection device to eject the drop of a fluid in response to the pulses of the multi-pulse waveform. The break off pulse causes the break off of the drop formed by the at least one drive pulse in order to reduce the tail mass of the drop.

Abstract: A printer for digital printing in which ink is deposited in metered amounts on a substrate. The printer includes a wheel rotatable by a shaft of a motor, an idler disposed in a paint reservoir, and a segment of wire disposed around the wheel and the idler. A computer controls movement of the wire by controlling the rotation of the wheel. As the motor rotates the wheel, ink contained within the paint reservoir coats the wire and is drawn by the wire in front of an air stream, which pulls the ink from the wire and carries it toward the substrate. The wire has alternatively hydrophilic and hydrophobic areas, causing the ink to form droplets on the wire for printing them as discrete pixels onto the substrate.

Abstract: The inventive ink-jet printing method consists in transferring ink drops from a plate to a carrier by sending a laser pulse train to each point of an ink film. At a point there the laser beam impacts, said laser pulse train produces light-hydraulic effects moving away from the plate surface and producing a series of successive acoustic pulses which form a channel for a short time at the given point of the ink film and eject drops of ink on the carrier. In order to ensure maximum efficiency of the inventive method, a pulse amplitude, pulse time, pulse relative duration and a pulse count are determined with respect to a co-ordinated effect performed on the given points of the ink film. The inventive printer for carrying out said method comprises a pulsing unit embodied in such a way that it generates series of pulses and a device for focusing pulses embodied in such a way that it sends one series of pulses on each given point of the ink film.

Abstract: The invention relates to printing devices. The inventive method for ink-jet printing is carried out by means of transferring ink drops from a plate to a carrier, simultaneously sending two emission impulses (a high power timed pulse and a weak control pulse) towards each positioned point of an ink film. The energy of both impulses produces a light- hydraulic action in said points, causing a high power acoustic impulse and ejection of ink from the positioned points to the carrier. The inventive printing device for carrying out the inventive printing method comprises a printing plate made of material which is transparent for emission of a defined wave length, and moving synchronously with an information carrier, in addition to generators for emitting timed and control pulses.

Abstract: The inventive ink-jet printing method is carried out by transferring ink drops from a plate to a carrier sending a laser ray to an inked plate angle-wise to a surface thereof. Said laser ray produces a light-hydraulic action on an ink-surface interface accompanied by causing a high power acoustic impulse directed along a trajectory of a ray reflected from the plate and transferring to the carrier an ink drop taken from an ink layer of the plate. The inventive method makes it possible to ensure high resolution printing characteristics by means of points having diameters ranging from 10 to 15 mkm, formed on the plate and even inflexible carrier, whereby only a small amount of energy is required to form drops. The inventive printing device for carrying out said printing method comprises a printing plate having a surface reflecting the laser ray, embodied in the form of an endless ribbon or a cylinder. The totality of points composing a text or an image on the carrier and corresponding to a program is obtained by means of a joint movement of the carrier, plate and scanning laser ray.
