The sealing material is filled inside the mount area after the liquid supply plate is bonded to the ink tank plate.
Abstract:
An inkjet coating method can achieve high-performance coating with a simple system by forming a precise and uniform coat over a coating area and precise edge parts on the periphery of the coating area. The inkjet coating method, firstly, extracts an edge image and an internal image from coating image. Next, the inkjet coating method forms the edge image including a plurality of edge image portions each extending to different directions, while forming each edge image portion by a single nozzle. And then, the inkjet coating method forms the internal image using a leveling technique.
Abstract:
An inkjet apparatus 100 includes a plurality of nozzles 200, a plurality of piezoelectric elements 204, a drive voltage generator 406 and a plurality of switches 403. The plurality of piezoelectric elements 204 is provided in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of nozzles 200. The drive voltage generator 406 generates a drive voltage having a waveform Vd. Each switch 403 adjusts the waveform Vd of the drive voltage. Each of the plurality of piezoelectric elements 204 applies pressure to a corresponding nozzle 200 to eject ink droplets therefrom in response to the drive voltage having an adjusted waveform Vd.
Abstract:
An inkjet recording device includes an ink reservoir that stores ink, a recording head having a plurality of nozzle holes for forming recording dots on a recording medium by ejecting ink particles from the plurality of nozzle holes onto the recording medium positioned opposite the plurality of nozzle holes, an ink channel for supplying ink from the ink reservoir to the recording head, ink discharging means for discharging ink from the recording head and the ink channel, evacuating means for creating a vacuum state in the recording head and the ink channel, and ink filling means for filling the evacuated recording head and ink channel with deaerated ink. The ink discharging means divides the recording head and the ink channel into a plurality of sections and independently discharges ink from each section of the recording head and the ink channel.
Abstract:
A plurality of nozzle rows are formed in a nozzle plate, and nozzle electrodes for generating a deflecting field are provided for every two nozzle rows. Each electrode is attached to the nozzle plate so as to locate between the corresponding adjacent two nozzles. Ink reception absorption bodies are embedded in the bottom surface of the electrodes. Refresh ink droplets deflected by the deflecting field travels along U-turn paths and impinge on the ink reception absorption bodies.
Abstract:
An inkjet head selectively ejects recording ink droplets and refresh ink droplets. The recording ink droplets are deflected so as to impinge on target locations on a recording medium, thereby forming recording dots thereon. On the other hand, the refresh ink droplets are deflected so as to impinge on an ink absorbing member. The ink clinging on the ink absorbing member is collected into an ink tank and reused. The ink absorbing member functions as a filter for preventing impurities being collected into the ink tank along with the ink.
