Abstract:
A printing head that prevents ink, diluent, and a mixed solution thereof from adhering to a spreading about a portion of the printing head around a nozzle. A printing apparatus using such a printing head has an enhanced ability to reproduce a gradation of concentration, thereby making it possible to form a recorded image of high resolution. The printing head has a first nozzle (34), which discharges a discharge medium, and a second nozzle (36), which discharges a metering medium. The orifices of the first and second nozzles are adjacent to each other in a nozzle outlet face (38a) of the printing head. A groove, a hydrophilic portion, or an insular projection is formed between the first and second nozzles to control the spread of ink, diluent, and a mixed solution thereof around the nozzles. The hydrophilic portion may be made by a non-processed portion of the outlet face of the printing head, and a portion other than the non-processed portion may be made a hydrophobic portion. Several variations of the groove, hydrophilic portion, and insular projection are disclosed.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily read only needed information. SOLUTION: An information acquiring means 1c acquires information 3a from a server device 3. An information converting means 1d extracts a prescribed type of display information from the acquired information 3a and attaches link information to the display information to generate reading object information. The generated reading object information is stored in an information storing means 1e. If a display request designating optional reading object information is later received, a display controlling means 1f displays display information in the optional reading object information on a display device 1b. If a switch 1a is pressed down while the display information in the optional reading object information is displayed on the display device 1b, an input controlling means 1g outputs to the display controlling means 1f a display request designating other reading object information associated with the switch 1a in the link information in the reading object information including the display information during being displayed.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent inferiority in printing by inhibiting sticking or the like of ink or the like to around a nozzle by forming a groove part between the first nozzle opening part and the second nozzle opening part in a printer wherein the first and second nozzles which are respectively communicated to first and second pressure chambers are so opened as to be adjacent to each other. SOLUTION: A printing head of a carrier jet system printer is composed of a pressure chamber unit having pressure chamber 40, 41, and first and second piezo units corresponding to respective pressure chamber 40, 41. The pressure chamber unit is composed of an orifice plate 38 on which inductive openings 35, 37 communicated to nozzles 34, 36 are formed, the pressure chamber 40 being a passage for diluting liquid, the pressure chamber 41 being the passage of ink, and a diaphragm 42. In this case, a groove part 63 is formed over from the opening part of the nozzle 66 (36) of one main surface 68a being a nozzle opening surface of the orifice plate 68 (38) to the opening part of the nozzle 64 (34). Thereby, sticking of ink to around the nozzle opening part is inhibitted.

PURPOSE: To provide a thermosensible type printer which is capable of high precision recording and can output beautiful gradation easily. CONSTITUTION: A recording head 1 is composed of a semiconductor laser element 2 and a lens 3. A thermosensible paper sheet 8 and a photo-thermal conversion film 7, which is located outside, are wound up onto a cylindrical drum 6 to be fixed. The recording head 1 is fixed to a lead screw 4, which is fixed in parallel with the rotation center shaft of the drum 6. Laser beams 11 emitted from a semiconductor laser element are incident on the photo-thermal conversion film to be converted into heat so that the thermosensible paper sheet 8 is colored for recording. Two-dimentional recording on the thermosensible paper sheet 8 is made possible making the direction indicated by an arrow 12 the main scanning direction while the direction indicated by an arrow 13 the subordinate scanning direction.
