Technical field
The present invention relates to the changeable liquid containers of the inking system for connecting continuous inkjet printers.
Background technique
The working principle of continuous inkjet printers is that ink droplet is formed from ink sprayer, carries out electrostatic charging to it, then uses
Electric field deflects charged droplets, and image is generated in printed substrates.Why continuous inkjet printers are continuous inkjet printers,
It is because it constantly forms ink droplet.Printer selects the drop of charged mistake to be printed using charged mechanism, any
Not used drop can all be recycled to the supplying of ink.Since printer is the ink droplet that selection was charged, so it can
Flying print.
In general, the formation of ink droplet is using conductive ink by nozzle, and with frequency appropriate ink is applied interfere come
It realizes.The formation of suitable droplets depend on many factors, including jet speed, apply interference frequency, the size of nozzle and
The viscosity of ink.Continuous inkjet printers are usually using the ink containing volatile organic solvent, for ensuring the fast of type information
Rapid-curing cutback is dry.However, since ink is volatile, so the volatility in ink is organic molten when ink recycles in systems
Agent can evaporate, and over time, the ink viscosity in printer usually will increase.
Therefore, most of continuous inkjet printers include the method for control viscosity, generally include the method (example of measurement viscosity
Such as falling ball viscometer) and control algolithm and add the method for a small amount of solvent to supplement the solvent evaporated.Therefore, printer
At least there are two changeable liquid containers for outfit, at least one contains ink and at least one contains solvent.
