Description

A printer (10) employs electrostatic grippers (12, 14, and 16) to advance paper (18) past a print head (22) that forms capillaries (33) in which capillary action ordinarily retains hot-melt ink and prevents it from marking the paper. When the paper is to be marked, a potential difference is applied to electrodes (40 and 42) to create electric- field gradients that cause the ink to bulge from the capillary outlet and mark the paper.

L'invention concerne une imprimante (10) mettant en oeuvre des pinces électrostatiques (12, 14 et 16) pour faire avancer le papier (18) devant une tête d'impression (22) qui forme des capillaires (33) dans lesquels l'effet de capillarité retient généralement une encre thermofusible et l'empêche de marquer le papier. Lorsque le papier doit être marqué, une différence de potentiel est appliquée aux électrodes (40 et 42) dans le but de générer des gradients de champs électriques qui provoquent la formation d'une hernie d'encre à la sortie du capillaire qui marque le papier.
