20090009567 | PRODUCING AND DEFLECTING INK DROPLETS IN A CONTINUOUS INK-JET PRINTER - The invention relates to a method and a device for producing and deflecting ink drops in a continuous ink-jet printer in which a continuous cohesive ink jet exits from a nozzle of a pressure chamber, and in which at least one acoustic pulse ( | 01-08-2009 |
20100045753 | PRINTING BY DEFLECTING AN INK JET THROUGH A VARIABLE FIELD - For printing, the principle of the continuous deflected jet is used: a device discharges a continuous stream of a liquid, which is deflected by an electric field created by a plurality of deflecting electrodes and directed toward a gutter. The printing of drops is performed by fragmenting the continuous jet into a segment formed opposite a shield electrode upstream of the deflecting electrode, so that the segment is not deflected and can be directed toward a substrate. | 02-25-2010 |
20110050812 | DROPLET SELECTION MECHANISM - A method and droplet selection device are provided for a continuous printer for selectively deflecting a droplet from a predetermined printing trajectory. In particular, a droplet selection device is provided for a continuous printer, comprising a droplet ejection system arranged to generate a continuous stream of droplets from a first fluid jetted out of an outlet channel; and a jet system arranged to generate a second jet for colliding the jet into the stream of droplets. The jet system comprises a deflector to selectively deflect the second jet into the continuous stream of droplets, so as to selectively deflect the droplets from a predefined printing trajectory. | 03-03-2011 |
20130070031 | CONTINUOUS INKJET PRINTING METHOD - A method of printing an image with a continuous inkjet printer system employing a jetting module including a nozzle in fluid communication with a liquid ink source and a catcher including a liquid drop contact face; wherein the liquid ink is an aqueous inkjet black ink comprising a black colorant and at least one surfactant selected to provide a 10-ms dynamic surface tension of less than 54 mN/m. Full color images may be printed by further employing at least second, third and fourth jetting modules and yellow, magenta and cyan inks each also comprising a surfactant selected to provide a 10-ms dynamic surface tension of less than 54 mN/m for each ink. The ink compositions provide for fluid properties on the drop catcher face that minimize printing defects that can occur during drop deflection during the printing of high dynamic range images at high speed. | 03-21-2013 |
20130314475 | Resistor Protected Deflection Plates For Liquid Jet Printer - A liquid jet printing apparatus is provided having a nozzle for emitting a stream of liquid droplets toward a substrate, a charging section for providing an electrical charge to liquid droplets and a pair of electrically conductive deflection plates for creating an electrical field capable of deflecting the liquid droplets to a desired location on the substrate, wherein a resistor is provided between a power source and the electrical field to limit current from the power source during electrical arcing between the deflection plates, thereby minimizing disruption to the electrical field and minimizing electromagnetic pulses. | 11-28-2013 |
20140168322 | BINARY CONTINUOUS INK JET PRINTER - A printing control method of a multi-nozzle binary continuous ink jet printer wherein drops of a first category and drops of a second category are formed by jet breaking The flowpaths followed by the drops of the first and second categories are differentiated. For printing a black pixel followed by a white pixel, a drop of the first category and a drop of the second category are formed. The cumulative formation time drops of the first and second categories is equal to or higher than the running time of one pixel. | 06-19-2014 |
