Abstract: Nozzles (31) provided to a head chip (25) are disposed so as to overlap with part of those of an adjacent head chip (25) when viewed from the feeding direction of an object to be printed, the distance Ls between nozzles between the adjacent head chips of the same color is set to a pitch of even number, and the distance Ld between nozzles between the head chips of different colors is set to a pitch of even number. A tiling part can be printed in a checker pattern when separately driving a line head by the tiling having an overlapping part. The problem that color development in the overlapping areas is different from that in the non-overlapping areas is solved.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a printer and printer head, and more particularly, to an ink-jet method printer for preventing quality deterioration of the print result caused by head chips having irregular characteristics. In the present invention, as viewed from the direction of feeding a print object, the nozzles (31) allocated to the head chip (25) are placed so as to partly overlap the adjacent head chips (25). Furthermore, as many nozzles as necessary for a plurality of head chips are formed on one nozzle plate, on which head chips are placed to form a printer head.

Abstract: A print head is provided with at least ink-pressurizing cells, heating elements, and ink-ejection nozzles. In addition, the print head includes substrate members which form side surfaces and one end surface of the ink-pressurizing cells, and which are provided with the heating elements; a nozzle-formed member which forms the other end surface of the ink-pressurizing cells, and in which the ink-ejection nozzles, which individually correspond to the ink-pressurizing cells, are formed; and a head frame which supports the nozzle-formed member.

Abstract: A remaining-liquid-amount apparatus for displaying an amount of conductive liquid (ink) remaining in a container (11) includes electrode units (21a-21h) which are arranged along a direction in which the liquid level falls when the amount of liquid in the container decreases and which conduct current when the electrode units are in contact with the liquid, a voltage source (pulse generator) which applies a voltage to the electrode units, a liquid detector (DFFs) which detects the presence/absence of the liquid at positions of the electrode units on the basis of whether or not the electrode units conduct current when the voltage is applied by the voltage source, and a remaining-liquid-amount display unit (LEDs) which displays, in steps, the amount of liquid remaining in the container on the basis of the detection result of the presence/absence of the liquid at positions of the electrode units obtained by the liquid detector.
