Patent number: 6467887Abstract: A piezoelectric ink jet printing system including a primary ink supply and a plurality of piezoelectric ink jet printhead assemblies. Each assembly comprises a housing, a piezoelectric ink jet printhead in the housing, a secondary ink supply attached to the housing adjacent the printhead, and an ink supply line for delivery of ink from the secondary ink supply to the printhead. The system further includes a pump for pumping ink from the primary ink supply to the secondary ink supply of each printhead assembly. Each printhead assembly is operable independently of the other printhead assemblies and are selectively movable with respect to the other printhead assemblies and with respect to the primary ink supply so that each printhead assembly can be positioned at a desired location without regard to where the other printhead assemblies are to be positioned and without regard to where the primary ink supply is positioned.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2001Date of Patent: October 22, 2002Assignee: Illinois Tool Works Inc.Inventors: Juan E. Lopez, Scott A. Bruckerhoff, Clifford R. Cairatti

Patent number: 5917508Abstract: A piezoelectric ink jet printing system including a primary ink supply and a plurality of piezoelectric ink jet printhead assemblies. Each assembly comprises a housing, a piezoelectric ink jet printhead in the housing, a secondary ink supply attached to the housing close to the printhead, and a short ink supply line for delivery of ink from the secondary ink supply to the printhead. The system further includes a pump for pumping ink from the primary ink supply to the secondary ink supply of each printhead assembly. Each printhead assembly is operable independently of the other printhead assemblies and are selectively movable with respect to the other printhead assemblies and with respect to the primary ink supply so that each printhead assembly can be positioned at a desired location without regard to where the other printhead assemblies are to be positioned and without regard to where the primary ink supply is positioned.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 1996Date of Patent: June 29, 1999Assignee: Diagraph CorporationInventors: Juan E.

Patent number: 5300950Abstract: A row-interleaved printing method for use in phase change ink jet printers which minimizes appearance abnormalities when printing solid geometric shapes; minimizes the horizontal "banding-effect" caused by cross-talk between ink jets when all jets are activated; and minimize the "seaming effect" caused by paper step mechanisms when different velocity profiles are used during printing.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 1992Date of Patent: April 5, 1994Assignee: DataProducts CorporationInventors: Juan E. Lopez, Dung Do

Patent number: 5235350Abstract: Ink jet apparatus including a print head having at least one chamber, an inlet opening to the chamber, and a droplet ejection orifice from the chamber, a transducer coupled to the chamber for ejecting droplets of ink in liquid form therefrom through the orifice, a manifold for supplying ink in its liquid form to the at least one chamber, and a cartridge, coupled to the manifold, for containing a supply of ink in solid form. The ink includes a wax-based vehicle to provide it with a hot melt capability, and a conductive pigment substantially dispersed throughout the wax-based vehicle to adapt it for self-melting. Accordingly, the cartridge includes a source of electrical current for energizing the conductive pigment on demand, wherein such supply of ink in solid form can be melted to a jettable liquid form upon energization of the conductive pigment by the source.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 1991Date of Patent: August 10, 1993Assignee: Dataproducts CorporationInventors: An C. R. Lin, Juan E. Lopez

Patent number: 5142296Abstract: In an ink jet printer having a plurality of ink jet channels which are individually controllable to produce ink dots on a printing medium, crosstalk is reduced by activating each odd numbered channel in alternation with each even numbered channel, while offsetting the orifices of one group of channels from the other to compensate for the time difference between activations, and the voltage supplied to excite the channel transducers is varied as a function of the number of channels simultaneously exited to maintain a fixed excitation voltage across each transducer.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 1990Date of Patent: August 25, 1992Assignee: Dataproducts CorporationInventors: Juan E. Lopez, Edgar Sheh, Joe Lahut, Dung Do

Patent number: 5130720Abstract: A drive system for driving the transducers of an ink jet print head. A controller determines transducer activation periods during which one or more selected transducers are to be activated. During each transducer activation period a voltage source is activated. A drive circuit receives serial print data from the controller and couples the selected transducers to the voltage source. The voltage source can be provided with a waveshape circuit to produce a desired excitation waveshape.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 1990Date of Patent: July 14, 1992Assignee: Dataproducts CorporationInventors: Juan E.
