    Abstract: An inkjet head driving method includes applying a voltage signal having a combined drive waveform that includes unit drive waveforms to a pressure generator and causing a nozzle to jet ink droplets such that the droplets land on a medium as one droplet. Each unit drive waveform includes a first pulse waveform for jetting a droplet and a second pulse waveform for pulling back the jetted droplet. The first and second pulse waveforms each include an expansion part for expanding a pressure chamber and a following contraction part for contracting the chamber. The combined drive waveform includes a first unit drive waveform and a following second unit drive waveform. A voltage amplitude of the contraction part of the second pulse waveform in the second unit waveform is greater than that of the contraction part of the second pulse waveform in the first unit drive waveform.

  • Patent number: 11440315
    Abstract: There is provided an ink jet recording apparatus including an ink jet head and a drive circuit. The ink jet head forms an image on a recording medium in response to a drive signal applied to multiple piezoelectric elements. The drive signal causes multiple pressure chambers corresponding to the multiple piezoelectric elements to expand or to contract in volume and causes ink in the multiple pressure chambers to be discharged from multiple nozzles. The drive circuit generates a drive signal for discharging multiple liquid droplets to one pixel for combining the multiple liquid droplets together and applies the drive signal to each of the multiple piezoelectric elements of the ink jet head. The drive signal includes multiple discharge pulses which make velocities of tips of respective liquid columns substantially same after a predetermined time from starting of ink discharge from the nozzles.
