  • Patent number: 10710366
    Abstract: Provided herein are a jet hole plate, a liquid jet head, and a liquid jet recording apparatus that can achieve a long life. A jet hole plate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is a jet hole plate for use in a liquid jet head. The jet hole plate includes a metal substrate provided with a plurality of jet holes. In the metal substrate, an average crystal grain size in outlet edges of the jet holes is smaller than that in surrounding regions around the outlet edges.

  • Publication number: 20190143693
    Abstract: Provided herein is a method for manufacturing a jet hole plate that can improve ejection stability and head durability. A method for manufacturing a jet hole plate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a punching step of pressing a first principal surface of a metal substrate with a punch to form an indentation in the first principal surface, and to form a raised portion in a second principal surface of the metal substrate at a position opposite to the indentation; a first polishing step of removing the raised portion by mechanical polishing to penetrate the metal substrate at the indentation to thereby form a jet hole; and a second polishing step of polishing at least one of the first principal surface and the second principal surface of the metal substrate by chemical polishing, electrolytic polishing, or chemical-mechanical polishing.

  • Publication number: 20190143684
    Abstract: There are provided a liquid jet head and a liquid jet recording device capable of enhancing the reliability. A liquid jet head according to an embodiment of the disclosure is a liquid jet head adapted to jet a liquid including an actuator plate having a plurality of ejection grooves each filled with the liquid, and a nozzle plate having a plurality of nozzle holes individually communicated with the respective ejection grooves, formed so as to have a profile smaller than a profile of the actuator plate, and bonded to the actuator plate so as to cover the plurality of ejection grooves, wherein a predetermined mark with which a position of the nozzle plate with respect to the actuator plate is checked is formed in an area outside a part corresponding to an outer periphery of the nozzle plate on a bonding surface of the actuator plate with the nozzle plate.

  • Patent number: 8278371
    Abstract: A nonaqueous inkjet ink composition that at printing by an inkjet printer, is free from clogging of a nozzle of printer head part and that excels in ink delivery stability leading to prints of excellent printing quality. The nonaqueous inkjet ink composition is one containing a pigment, a resin, a pigment dispersant, an organic solvent and an aminated alcohol, characterized in that the content of the aminated alcohol is in the range of 0.01 to 3 mass % based on the whole mass. The nonaqueous inkjet ink composition may be one characterized in that the water extract from the nonaqueous inkjet ink composition exhibits a pH value ranging from 6.0 to 10.0.
