Electrostatic mechanism for inkjet printers resulting in improved image quality

An inkjet printer comprising:

• one or more ink supplies;
• one or more inkjet print heads, each inkjet print head ejecting ink from a corresponding at least one of the one or more ink supplies as needed and aimed on a media, in substantially properly sized droplets while also at least occasionally ejecting the ink as an image quality-impairing aerosol;
• and,
• an electrostatic mechanism to prevent the image quality-impairing aerosol from reaching the media without affecting the substantially properly sized droplets of ink.

A method comprising:

• ejecting substantially properly sized droplets of ink as aimed on a media;
• concurrently ejecting undesired aerosol-sized droplets of ink substantially smaller than the substantially properly sized droplets of ink;
• and,
• electrostatically affecting the undesired aerosol-sized droplets of ink to prevent the undesired aerosol-sized droplets of ink from reaching the media, while unaffecting the substantially properly sized droplets of ink.
