Embodiment Construction

[0015] 1 shows an inkjet printing system 10 that includes an inkjet printhead 20, a controller unit 30 that provides image data and other digital data to the inkjet printhead 20, and a supply of ink to the inkjet printhead 20 through fluid conduits The ink reservoir 40.

[0016] The inkjet printhead 20 may be transported by the head transport mechanism 50 to scan over the ink receiver 60 in a first direction. The ink receiver 60 is provided on the platen 70 . The ink receiver 60 is movable in the second direction under the action of the receiver transfer mechanism 80 . The head transfer mechanism 50 and the receiver transfer mechanism 80 are controlled by the controller 30 .

[0017] Ink jet printheads employing volatile inks such as common solvent and aqueous inks must be handled carefully to prevent the ink from drying out in the ink nozzles. Ink jet printheads are typically capped to prevent ink from drying out in the nozzles when the printhead is idle for extended perio...

Abstract

An ink jet printing system comprises an ink jet print head including one or more nozzles for ejecting ink drops. A substrate is adjacent to the nozzles. The substrate is adapted to be wetted by a solvent and to produce a solvent vapor in the vicinity of the nozzles.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of inkjet printing. Background technique [0002] Inkjet printing is a non-collision method of producing ink droplets deposited on substrates such as paper or transparent films in response to electronic digital signals. [0003] There are generally two types of inkjet printing systems: continuous stream and drop-on-demand. In a continuous flow ink jet system, ink is ejected in a continuous flow under pressure through at least one orifice or nozzle. Multiple holes or nozzles can also be used to increase imaging speed and throughput. The ink is ejected from the orifice and disturbed, causing the ink to break up into droplets at a fixed distance from the orifice. At the breaking point, the charged ink droplets pass through an applied electric field, which is controlled and switched on and off according to a digital data signal. The charged ink droplets are passed through a controllable electric field that m...
