Abstract

Dans une tête d'impression d'une imprimante à jet continu dévié, l'une des électrodes (2) de déviation des gouttes d'encre est munie dans une partie aval d'une fente (12) longitudinale présentant un plan de symétrie par rapport à un plan contenant l'axe du jet d'encre.In a print head of a deflected continuous jet printer, one of the ink drop deflection electrodes (2) is provided in a downstream portion of a longitudinal slot (12) having a plane of symmetry by relative to a plane containing the axis of the ink jet.

On peut réduire ainsi l'espacement inter électrode et diminuer la tension présente entre les électrodes (2, 3) sans réduire l'efficacité de déflexion.

Figure imgaf001
The inter-electrode spacing can thus be reduced and the voltage present between the electrodes (2, 3) can be reduced without reducing the deflection efficiency.
