Abstract: PCT No. PCT/AU87/00294 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 24, 1989 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 24, 1989 PCT Filed Aug. 28, 1987 PCT Pub. No. WO88/01572 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 10, 1988.Electrostatic deflection of portions of a liquid stream is used to generate lengths of liquid (called "slugs" of liquid) for use in jet printing apparatus. The liquid stream is projected along a path alongside a linear or arcuate array of electrodes. When a voltage signal is applied sequentially to each electrode of the array at a rate which corresponds to the velocity of liquid of the stream past the electrodes, a portion of the liquid is deflected out of the path of the stream and towards the array. Either the deflected portion or the undeflected stream is intercepted before it reaches a surface which is to be printed. The slugs of liquid may break up naturally into droplets before the interception of the deflected portion or the undeflected stream, or after the interception has occurred. High resolution printing with high volumes of liquid is possible using this invention.
