Abstract
An ink jet recording method comprising: supplying insulating oily ink to an ejection part disposed so as to face a recording medium; irradiating the ink at the ejection part with light; applying an electrostatic field to the ink at the ejection part under irradiation in accordance with image data so as to eject the ink to form an image on the recording medium; and recovering excess ink from the ejection part. Also disclosed is an ink jet recording apparatus suitable for the ink jet recording method.
Claims7
An ink jet recording method comprising:
- supplying insulating oily ink to an ejection part disposed so as to face a recording medium;
- irradiating the ink at said ejection part with light;
- applying an electrostatic field to the ink at said ejection part under irradiation in accordance with image data so as to eject the ink to form an image on the recording medium;
- and
- recovering excess ink from said ejection part.
An ink jet recording apparatus comprising:
- at least one feed for supplying insulating oily ink to an ejection part disposed so as to face a recording medium;
- an irradiating unit which irradiates the ink at said ejection part with light;
- an electrostatic field generator which generates an electrostatic field in accordance with image data and applies it to the ink at said ejection part under irradiation so as to eject the ink to form an image on the recording medium;
- and
- an ink return channel for recovering excess ink from said ejection part.
An ink jet recording apparatus comprising:
- means for supplying insulating oily ink to an ejection part which is disposed so as to face a recording medium;
- means for irradiating the ink at said ejection part with light;
- means for generating an electrostatic field at said ejection part under irradiation in accordance with image data so as to eject the ink to form an image on the recording medium;
- and
- means for recovering excess ink from said ejection part.
