Abstract

A method for designing a thermal ink jet printer for minimum cavitation damage of the printhead resistors during bubble collapse and, consequently, maximum life­ time, is shown. The method comprises the steps of selecting a solvent, resistor size and operating temperature so that a calculated B-factor is minimized. The selected parameters can be changed to minimize the calculated B-factor and to achieve a maximum lifetime.
