  • Thermal electrostatic ink-jet recording apparatus
    Patent number: 4737803
    Abstract: Disclosed is a thermal electrostatic ink-jet recording apparatus comprising a head body provided with an ink chamber, electrodes for selectively applying heat, in response to image signals to each of discrete ink unit areas corresponding to pel density, and electrodes for producing a predetermined electrostatic field between an ink surface and a recording sheet so as to jet the heated ink unit areas by applying the electrostatic field, in which electric current is passed through an organic resistance film to heat the ink.
