Abstract
A printing apparatus is provided and includes: a platen that supports a medium; an inkjet head provided to face the medium, the inkjet head ejecting an ink containing a charge controlling agent toward the medium by driving a drive element to land the charged ink droplet, which becomes a polarity of one of the positive polarity and the negative polarity, on the medium; and a voltage applying part that applies to at least one of the platen and the medium to have the other polarity of the positive polarity and the negative polarity.
Claims16
A printing apparatus comprising:
- an ejection head provided to face a medium, the ejection head ejecting an ink containing a charge controlling agent toward the medium as a charged ink droplet to land the charged ink droplet on the medium;
- and
- a polarity applier that applies polarity to the medium to have an opposite polarity with respect to a polarity of the charged ink droplet.
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a mounting portion on which a medium is placed;
- an ejection head provided to face the medium, the ejection head ejecting an ink containing a charge controlling agent toward the medium as a charged ink droplet to land the charged ink droplet on the medium;
- and
- a polarity applier that applies polarity to the mounting portion to have an opposite polarity with respect to a polarity of the charged ink droplet.
A printing apparatus comprising:
- an ejection head provided to face a medium, the ejection head ejecting an ink containing a charge controlling agent toward the medium as a charged ink droplet to land the charged ink droplet on the medium;
- and
- a polarity applier that applies polarity to a side of the ejection head to have the same polarity as a polarity of the charged ink droplet.
