Methods and apparatus are provided for preventing clogging in impulse ink jet printers. The printer comprises at least one nozzle (12) having an orifice for ejecting ink droplets (14c); a chamber (15) for containing ink (14a) which forms a barrier of high viscosity ink at the orifice when the nozzle is in a quiescent state; and a control means (16) for generating a sequence of firing signals and sub-firing signals. The sub-firing signals have an amplitude which is effective to remove the barrier. An ink composition with fast-drying properties is disclosed.
L'invention porte sur un procédé et un appareil empêchant le colmatage des imprimantes à jets d'encre pulsés. L'imprimante comprend: au moins une buse (12) munie d'un orifice d'éjection de gouttes d'encre (14c); une chambre (15) contenant une encre (14a) formant une barrière de viscosité élevée au niveau de l'orifice; et des moyens de commande (16) produisant une suite de signaux de déclenchement et de sous-déclenchement, ces derniers présentant une amplitude suffisante pour détruire la barrière. L'invention porte également sur une composition d'encre à séchage rapide.
