Abstract
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejecting head that has an ejection surface including a first nozzle row configured to eject a first ink and a second nozzle row configured to eject a second ink. The liquid ejecting head is configured to be held in a first posture in which the ejection surface is inclined with respect to a horizontal plane. The dynamic surface tension of the first ink is higher than the dynamic surface tension of the second ink. In the first posture, the first nozzle row is positioned above the second nozzle row with respect to a gravity direction.
Claims19
A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising:
- a liquid ejecting head that has an ejection surface including a first nozzle row configured to eject a first ink and a second nozzle row configured to eject a second ink, wherein
- the liquid ejecting head is configured to be held in a first posture in which the ejection surface is inclined with respect to a horizontal plane,
- a dynamic surface tension of the first ink is higher than a dynamic surface tension of the second ink, and
- in the first posture, the first nozzle row is positioned above the second nozzle row with respect to a gravity direction.
A liquid ejecting apparatus comprising:
- a first liquid ejecting head that has a first ejection surface including a first nozzle configured to eject a first ink;
- and
- a second liquid ejecting head that has a second ejection surface including a second nozzle configured to eject a second ink, wherein
- a dynamic surface tension of the first ink is higher than a dynamic surface tension of the second ink,
- the first ejection surface is disposed such that an angle formed by an ejection direction of the first ink ejected from the first nozzle and a gravity direction is a first angle, and
- the second ejection surface is disposed such that an angle formed by an ejection direction of the second ink ejected from the second nozzle and the gravity direction is a second angle larger than the first angle.
A liquid ejecting head comprising:
- a first nozzle row configure to eject a first ink;
- a second nozzle row configured to eject a second ink;
- and
- a third nozzle row configured to eject a third ink, wherein
- a dynamic surface tension of the third ink is lower than a dynamic surface tension of the first ink and is higher than a dynamic surface tension of the second ink, and
- the third nozzle row is positioned between the first nozzle row and the second nozzle row.
