  • Method and apparatus for printing with multiple recording mechanisms
    Patent number: 6644784
    Abstract: A printer device contains a combination of variously configured mechanisms for delivering recording information onto a recording medium. For example, the printer device contains both thermal inkjet printheads and piezoelectric printheads. In this example, each of the thermal inkjet printheads and piezoelectric printheads are connected to separate fluid supplies to thereby enable each of the printheads to eject fluids having various characteristics onto a recording medium. Thus, the various fluids may be applied onto the recording medium from both the thermal inkjet printheads and the piezoelectric printheads in a substantially continuous manner during a single printing operation to thereby increase both throughput and printing options.
