20080252705 | INKJET PRINTING HEAD AND INKJET PRINTING CARTRIDGE - An inkjet printing cartridge capable of ejecting miniaturized ink droplets in a stable manner while avoiding the complexity of the structure and control as well as suppressing the cost rise. For this purpose, the inkjet printing cartridge is formed of a material having the permeability to liquid and gas, and the ink supply path for supplying ink to the ejection opening having a relatively small ejection amount is arranged adjacent to other ink supply paths via walls. | 10-16-2008 |
20080259119 | INK JET HEAD - An ink jet head includes an elongated ink supply port extending in a longitudinal direction and a plurality of head groups arranged in a transverse direction crossing with the longitudinal direction. A first array of ink ejection outlets is disposed along one lateral side of an ink supply port, and second and third arrays of ink ejection outlets are disposed along the other lateral side of the ink supply port, wherein widths L | 10-23-2008 |
20090015635 | INK JET RECORDING METHOD - A method for discharging liquid from a recording head including a first discharge port configured to discharge a liquid, a second discharge port configured to discharge a liquid, an amount of which is smaller than an amount of the liquid discharged from the first discharge port, and a substrate including a first heating element corresponding to the first discharge port, a second heating element corresponding to the second discharge port and the liquid supply port, wherein a distance between the liquid supply port and the second heating element is longer than a distance between the liquid supply port and the first heating element, and wherein discharge of the liquid from the first discharge port is performed by a discharge method in which a bubble formed by the first heating element communicates with atmosphere and an amount of the liquid discharged from the second discharge port is less than 2 pico liters. | 01-15-2009 |
20090128600 | INK JET RECORDING HEAD, INK JET CARTRIDGE WITH INK JET RECORDING HEAD, AND INK JET RECORDING APPARATUS - An ink jet recording head includes at least three nozzle array groups; each of the nozzle array group including, a first nozzle array including a plurality of ejection outlets for ejecting ink, and a second nozzle array including a plurality of ejection outlets for ejecting the ink, the second nozzle array being disposed adjacent to the first nozzle array with an ink supply port for supplying the ink interposed therebetween, wherein an opening area of the ejection outlets of second nozzle array is smaller than an opening area of the ejection outlets of first nozzle array, wherein the nozzle array groups eject three different kinds of inks, respectively, when the ink jet recording head moves relative to a recording material, wherein the nozzle arrays of adjacent ones of the nozzle array group are arranged in the order of the first nozzle array of one of the adjacent nozzle array groups, the second nozzle array of the one of the adjacent nozzle array groups, the second nozzle array of the other one of the adjacent nozzle array groups, and the first nozzle array of the other one of the adjacent nozzle array groups; and the recording head further including a third nozzle array provided in each of the adjacent ones of the nozzle array groups, the third nozzle array including a plurality of ejection outlets for ejecting the ink, wherein an opening area of the ejection outlets of third nozzle array is smaller than an opening area of the ejection outlets of second nozzle array, wherein the third nozzle array being disposed in the same side as the second nozzle array with respect to the ink supply port, and wherein the nozzle array group which does not constitute the adjacent nozzle array groups is supplied with the ink having a highest lightness among the three kinds of inks. | 05-21-2009 |
20090309923 | PRINTING HEAD - There is provided a printing head, enabling to suppress the occurrence of cracks in a printing element substrate, even if the printing head is erroneously fallen. The printing head comprises: a printing element substrate, an ink flow passage and a sheet-shaped portion comprising a rectangular major surface. A rear surface side of the major surface of the sheet-shaped portion is provided with a space formed separately from the ink flow passage. A surface adjacent to the major surface is provided with an opening of the space formed therein, and wherein the sheet-shaped portion is provided with a concave portion formed on the rear surface side of two regions between the printing element substrate and two corner portions arranged proximate to the opening in the major surface. | 12-17-2009 |
20090309926 | PRINTING HEAD - There is provided a printing head in which a printing element substrate is hard to be deformed even if the printing head falls by mistake. The printing head comprises an element substrate in which an energy generating element for generating energy used for ejecting ink is provided, a first sheet-shaped portion to which the element substrate is provided, a second sheet-shaped portion provided away from the first sheet-shaped portion at an opposite side to a direction of ejecting the ink in relation to the first sheet-shaped portion, and a sheet-shaped wall member connecting the first sheet-shaped portion to the second sheet-shaped portion, wherein the wall member has a thickness of a portion connected to the second sheet-shaped portion, which is larger than a thickness of a portion connected to the first sheet-shaped portion. | 12-17-2009 |
20100002057 | INK JET PRINTING HEAD AND INK JET PRINTING APPARATUS USING THE SAME - Disclosed is a printing head having connection terminals for performing an electrical connection of signals including drive signals of print elements by contacting connection terminals in an apparatus side when the head is mounted onto an ink jet printing apparatus. It is made to guarantee connections of all terminals by detecting contacts of a part of terminals. Among the terminals in the head, terminals whose distances from the connection terminals in the printing apparatus become maximum when a deviation occurred in the mounting, are used as terminals for contact detection. For example, from among the connection terminals arranged in a planar area, which is rectangular-shaped, terminals positioned in corners are used as the terminals for the contact detection. When the contacts of these terminals are detected, the connections of all the terminals inside the area can be guaranteed. | 01-07-2010 |
20130027463 | INK CARTRIDGE AND INK JET RECORDING METHOD - An ink cartridge including a housing formed with a resin and an ink stored in the housing, wherein the resin includes a white mica composition; the ink includes a salt and a self-dispersible pigment having a functional group that contains two phosphonic acid groups and is bonded to the particle surface thereof; the salt includes a specific cation and a specific anion; and an amount of calcium in the ink after the ink is preserved in the housing at 60° C. for 2 months is 10.0 ppm or less. | 01-31-2013 |
