Publication number: 20100321433Abstract: A pagewide array of inkjet printheads arranged to reduce nozzle offset. The row of nozzles of each printhead are formed adjacent an edge of the semiconductor chip. Each alternate printhead chip is rotated 180 degrees with regard to its neighbor, thereby reducing the nozzle offset. A smaller nozzle offset minimizes the dot displacement error should the print medium be skewed with respect to the array of printheads.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2009Publication date: December 23, 2010Inventors: George Keith Parish, Timothy Lowell Strunk

Publication number: 20100123758Abstract: A micro-fluid ejection device, such as an inkjet printhead, includes a substrate, a heater chip on the substrate, a structure on the substrate for supplying ink to the heater chip and a nozzle plate on the heater chip. The heater chip has a plurality of electrically-activatable spaced apart heater elements that can be repetitively subjected to momentary electrical activation and deactivation so as to cause cyclical heating and cooling of ink in the heater chip resulting in repetitive ejection of drops of ink by the nozzle plate on the heater chip. The device also includes a thermal control system in the heater chip being self-managed by operation of a control loop defined by the thermal control system internally of the heater chip and substrate for sensing and limiting the variation of the temperature of the substrate during cyclical operation of the heater elements of the heater chip.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2008Publication date: May 20, 2010Inventors: Steven Wayne Bergstedt, John Glenn Edelen, George Keith Parish, Kristi Maggard Rowe

Publication number: 20090040257Abstract: A thermal inkjet apparatus includes a printhead body, nozzles, ink cavities and ink supply lines. Heater resistors are in the cavities and a firing circuit is connected to provide firing pulses to the heater resistor and nucleate the ink so that it fires ink out of the nozzles. Each heater resistor is also connected to a warming circuit that supplies warming pulses, one warming pulse during each firing cycle, to warm the heater resistors but not nucleate the ink. The warming circuit includes current limiting ballast resistors to limit the current through the healer resistors and thereby prevent the warming pulse from nucleating the ink. Warming pulses and firing pulses are not generated during the same firing cycle for a particular heater resistor. One or more thermal sensors are disposed on the printhead body to sense the temperature and a control circuit responds to the sensors to generate warming pulses having desired widths to provide a desired level of warming.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2007Publication date: February 12, 2009Inventors: Steven Wayne Bergstedt, Prabuddha Jyotindra Mehta, George Keith Parish
