摘要:
A liquid droplet ejection head comprises an ejector, a liquid viscosity-increase prevention structure and a liquid viscosity-increase prevention controller. The ejector includes a nozzle for ejecting a liquid droplet, a pressure chamber communicating with the nozzle through a communication path, and an actuator for applying pressure to a liquid in the pressure chamber. The liquid viscosity-increase prevention structure prevents an increase of viscosity of the liquid in the ejector. The liquid viscosity-increase prevention controller changes the operation frequency of the liquid viscosity-increase prevention structure between when the liquid droplet is ejected from the nozzle and when ejection of the liquid droplet is paused and no liquid droplet is being ejected from the nozzle.

A thermal printing ink medium which electrically generates heat to transfer an ink thereof to a transfer material to form an image thereon is disclosed, which comprises a first heating element layer, a second heating element layer in contact with said first heating element layer, said second heating element layer having a greater volume resistivity than said first heating element layer, a conductive layer in contact with said second heating element layer, an ink layer provided on the side of said conductive layer opposite to said second heating element layer, and an adhesion-improving layer formed on the interface between said conductive layer and second heating element layer by the interaction therebetween so as to have a given volume resistivity. The thermal printing ink medium has advantages of (1) broadened choice of materials for an ink layer and ease in coloring the ink layer, (2) production ease and economy, (3) stable printing quality, (4) feasibility of repeated use, (5) an increased energy efficiency in image printing, (6) freedom from surface damage, (7) a reduced peak temperature of heat generation in a heat generating layer, and (8) high resolving power.

The present invention provides an electrostatic attracting-type ink jet recording method by which an ink dot which has adhered to the recording medium or intermediate recording material can be prevented from affecting the drawing direction of the subsequently jetting ink, whereby an ink can be invariably allowed to jet onto a proper position to form an image with a high quality. An electrostatic attracting-type ink jet recording method is provided which comprises applying a voltage pulse across a recording electrode connected to a recording head and an opposing electrode disposed on the opposite side of a recording medium or intermediate recording material, whereby the resulting Coulomb's force causes an ink to jet onto said recording medium or intermediate recording material through an orifice in the recording head to form an image thereon, characterized in that the relaxation time of the ink calculated by multiplying the dielectric constant of the ink by the volume resistivity of the ink during the operation of ink jet recording is in the range of 0.01 to 2 times the ink jetting period.
