Abstract: A printhead assembly for an inkjet printer is described herein. The printhead assembly includes a printhead having a plurality of nozzles, a nozzle plate attached to the printhead, and a base plate attached to the nozzle plate by at least three fasteners that provide independent positioning of the nozzle plate with respect to the base plate in three independent dimensions. The printhead assembly has fluid connections between the printheads and a fluid manifold that has alignment features. The printhead assembly also has a tile structure that couples to the base plate, the tile structure having a first section flexibly coupled to a second section.

Abstract: A print tile for a printhead assembly in a printer includes a base plate, a printhead, a nozzle plate attached to the printhead, and a plurality of mounting elements. The base plate has an upper surface, a lower surface opposite the upper surface, and a slot extending through the base plate. The printhead has a lower part received in the slot and including a plurality of nozzles from which a print material is to be ejected in a printing operation. The plurality of mounting elements mounts the nozzle plate to the base plate, while permitting adjustment of a position of the printhead relative to the base plate. The base plate includes first and second adjustable lifts correspondingly under first and second end portions of the nozzle plate, to adjust positions of the first and second end portions of the nozzle plate independently one from another.

Abstract: The present invention provides applicators reducing generating bubble. Dispersion liquid is supplied while the pressure of a circulation tank on the delivery side is lower than the atmospheric pressure but higher than the pressure of the space in buffer tanks. The dispersion liquid in the discharge chambers is recovered while the pressure in a circulation tank serving as recovery destination is lower than the atmospheric pressure. Gas dissolution can be reduced because the dispersion liquid does not come into contact with gases at pressures higher than the atmospheric pressure and engulffing gas or deformation of solid microparticles can be avoided because no pump is used.

Abstract: A microdeposition system includes a printhead carriage that moves along a first axis; a stage that holds a substrate; a rail located above the printhead carriage and extending along a third axis parallel to the first axis; and an accessory carriage that travels along the rail to remain above the printhead carriage. The printhead carriage includes a plurality of nozzles that deposit droplets of fluid material onto the substrate.

Abstract: The present teachings relate to a printhead maintenance station for an industrial printing apparatus which is used to prevent clogging of the printhead, particularly during periods in which the printheads are idle. The maintenance station includes a capping station which has sockets for keeping the printheads moist and a blotting station for cleaning any residual printing fluids prior to carrying out a print function.

Abstract: According to the present disclosure, a printer apparatus may include a chuck configured to support a substrate thereon, a rail spaced apart from the chuck, a printhead carriage frame coupled to the rail, and a printhead carriage pivotally coupled to the printhead carriage frame.
