Abstract
The purpose of the present invention is to provide an inkjet recording device that is capable of minimizing contamination, by floating ink, of the inside and outside of a print head without increasing the volatilization volume of a solvent. In order to attain the purpose, provided is an inkjet recording device having: a nozzle which applies print onto a printing medium by discharging ink; and a print head which houses therein a deflection electrode for deflecting the discharged ink by means of an electrostatic force, the inkjet recording device being provided with an ink suction unit which sucks in floating ink by means of the electrostatic force.

An inkjet recording device having a nozzle that applies print onto a printing medium by discharging ink and a print head that houses therein a deflection electrode for deflecting the discharged ink by means of an electrostatic force, the device comprising:
- an ink suction unit that sucks in floating ink by means of the electrostatic force;
- wherein the ink suction unit is provided inside the print head.
An inkjet recording device having a nozzle that applies print onto a printing medium by discharging ink and a print head that houses therein a deflection electrode for deflecting the discharged ink by means of an electrostatic force, the device comprising:
- an ink suction unit that sucks in floating ink by means of the electrostatic force;
- wherein a distal end of the ink suction unit protrudes from a distal end of an ink deflection unit, which is a distal end portion of the deflection electrode electrically connected to a high voltage source, in an ink discharge direction of the nozzle.
