Abstract

The object of the present invention is to be able to drive the head in a multi-dot method with a drive waveform that is relatively robust to the AL value and to form a high-quality image. Multiple driving pulses, the driving pulse used to discharge the first droplet changes the volume of the pressure chamber to excite more than two overlapping pressure waves in the pressure chamber, and when the first droplet is discharged, the pressure in the pressure chamber The excited pressure wave vibration has a phase shift of -0.6AL or more and 0.6AL or less from the pressure wave vibration excited in the pressure chamber by its previous action, and the driving pulse for subsequent discharge of the second droplet changes the volume of the pressure chamber. Two or more overlapping pressure waves are excited in the pressure chamber, and the pressure wave vibration excited in the pressure chamber at the time of discharge of the second droplet is the same as the pressure wave vibration excited in the pressure chamber by its previous action and due to the first droplet The synthetic vibration of the reverberant pressure wave vibration remaining in the pressure chamber after the first droplet is discharged has a phase shift in the opposite direction to the phase shift when the first droplet is discharged.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an inkjet recording device, a method for driving an inkjet head, and a method for designing a driving waveform. Specifically, it relates to an inkjet head capable of driving an inkjet head in a multi-dot manner with a driving waveform that is relatively robust to an AL value. An inkjet recording apparatus for forming high-quality images, a method of driving an inkjet head, and a method of designing a driving waveform. Background technique [0002] In recent years, in order to form an inkjet image with excellent gradation, it is increasingly necessary to dispense multiple dots of liquid droplets of different liquid volumes from one inkjet head. [0003] As a method of separating droplets of different liquid amounts from the same nozzle, it is known to continuously discharge a plurality of droplets from the same nozzle by repeatedly applying the same drive pulse within one pixel period, and make the droplets land on the r...
