  • Intermittent application method and apparatus, and inkjet recording method and apparatus
    Patent number: 8038285
    Abstract: The intermittent application method of intermittently applying an application liquid to a continuously conveyed band-shaped or cut-sheet-shaped supporting body, includes the step of causing a lower surface of the supporting body, and a circumferential surface of an application cylinder which takes up the application liquid from an application liquid reservoir by rotation, to make contact with each other and separate from each other in a relative manner by means of a cam mechanism in such a manner that an application section where the application liquid is applied, and a non-application section where the application liquid is not applied, are formed on the lower surface of the supporting body.
    Type: Grant

  • Ink-jet recording unit, ink-jet recording method and recording head cleaning method for ink-jet recording unit
    Patent number: 6964470
    Abstract: The ink-jet recording unit and method apply a voltage identical in polarity with charged colorant particles agglomerated at a tip of each of ink guides to an ejecting electrode, eject ink from the tip and shake the colorant particles at the tip to agglomerate the colorant particles at the tip in preparation for a subsequent ejection of the ink. The recording head cleaning method for the ink-jet recording unit fills the ink channel with a cleaning solution and shakes the cleaning solution to clean the ink guides.
