Abstract

A jet print head (1) comprises a chamber (2) for current conductive ink (6) and an ink discharge port (3) to express ink onto the information carrier (4). The discharge port (3) has a group array of parallel rows of orifices (5) obtained in the form of flow-through openings communicating with the chamber (2) and represented by a multilaminate structure established on an underlay (8) and having layers forming electrodes (7) which are common for each row of orifices (5), and individual electrodes (10) for every orifice (5), produced as an integral whole together with the current conductive bar (12), and a magnetic layer (9) placed between them. The energy signal pulse sent to the electrodes (7,10) creates electro-dynamic force by virtue of which an ink drop is discharged from the given capillary tube to fall onto the information carrier (4).

Claims1

Dependent claims

A jet print head comprising:

a storage chamber for storing current conductive ink;
and
an ink discharge port to express ink onto an information carrier, said ink discharge port being a multilaminate structure with (a) a group array of parallel rows and columns of capillary openings which communicate with an inside of said storage chamber, (b) an underlay, (c) dielectric layers between which said underlay is placed, (d) a magentic layer in contact with said underlay, (e) common electrodes of a same polarity, in a first plane on one side of said underlay, for each of said rows of capillary openings, (f) individual electrodes of opposite polarity for each of said capillary openings and existing in a second plane on another side of said underlay parallel to the first plane and connected to one another for each of said rows of capillary openings and (g) electric current conductive bars connecting the individual electrodes for each of said capillary opening in each of said rows of capillary openings to one another, the common and individual electrodes being located on opposite sides of said underlay and said magnetic layer, said individual electrodes in each of said rows of capillary openings being produced, as an integral unit, together with the electric current conductive bars of each of said rows.
