Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to inkjet printing apparatus, and more particularly to an inkjet printing apparatus including a printhead portion that receives ink droplet activation signals for selective ejection of ink. Background technique
[0002] Inkjet printing systems frequently employ an inkjet printhead mounted to a carriage that moves back and forth across a print medium, such as paper. As the printhead moves across the print medium, a control unit selectively activates each of a plurality of drop generators in the printhead to launch or deposit ink drops onto the print medium to form images and text characters. Ink that replenishes the plurality of drop generators is provided by an ink supply onboard or remote from the printhead.
[0003] Individual drop generators are selectively actuated by using an actuation signal provided to the printhead by the printing system. In the case of thermal inkjet printing, each drop generator is activated by...
