Definitions

  • the present invention relates to image formation by a liquid droplet generator wherein image quality issues due to liquid-sedimentation in the manifold of the liquid droplet generator are avoided.
  • Image formation is a procedure whereby a digital image is printed on a medium e.g. by jetting droplets of liquid or another type of print fluid onto said medium, such as paper, plastic, a substrate for 3D printing.
  • Said image formation is commonly employed in apparatuses, such as printers (e.g. inkjet printer) but also facsimile machines, copying machines, plotting machines, multifunction peripherals, etc.
  • the core of a typical jetting apparatus or image forming apparatus is one or more liquid droplet generators (also known as "printheads") having nozzles that discharge liquid droplets, a mechanism for moving the liquid droplet generator and/or the medium in relation to one another, and a controller that controls how liquid is discharged from the individual nozzles of the liquid droplet generator onto the medium in the form of pixels.
  • a typical liquid droplet generator includes a plurality of nozzles aligned in one or more rows (called “nozzlerows”) along a discharge surface of the liquid droplet generator.
  • Each nozzle is part of a “jetting channel", which includes the nozzle, a pressure chamber, and an actuator, such as a piezoelectric actuator.
  • a liquid droplet generator also includes a drive circuit that controls when each individual jetting channel fires based on image data. To jet from a jetting channel, the drive circuit provides a jetting pulse to the actuator, which causes the actuator to deform a wall of the pressure chamber. The deformation of the pressure chamber creates pressure waves within the pressure chamber that eject a droplet of print fluid (e.g., liquid) out of the nozzle.
  • print fluid e.g., liquid
  • Drop on Demand (DoD) printing is moving towards higher productivity and quality, which requires small droplet sizes ejected at high jetting frequencies.
  • the print quality delivered by a liquid droplet generator depends on ejection or jetting characteristics, such as droplet velocity, droplet mass (or volume/diameter), jetting direction, etc.
  • ejection or jetting characteristics such as droplet velocity, droplet mass (or volume/diameter), jetting direction, etc.
  • liquid-sedimentation inside the liquid droplet generator especially in the manifold, negatively affects the jetting characteristics and thus the image quality especially when said liquid droplet generator has a manifold with two inlets at both sides of said manifold.
  • the liquid-sedimentation in the manifold occurs e.g. when said liquid droplet generator, filled with liquid, is not used for a long period.
  • EP 2157163 A discloses a maintenance liquid for inkjet printers comprising at least one of glycol ethers and glycol esters and 45 to 10 mg/L of dissolved oxygen.

  • Such printheads are nowadays dominating in home and office inkjet print systems but also in industrial applications for either printing or digital fabrication.
  • actuation mechanisms are possible such as push-mode actuators or squeeze-mode actuators.
  • the liquid droplet generator (100) in the present embodiment has an essential manifold elongated in parallel to a nozzle row; and configured to provide a liquid path for the liquid to the plurality of nozzles.
  • the liquid is provided by a first inlet (516) and a second inlet (517) which are connected with said manifold each at both side of said manifold.
  • no outlet is provided as known in reflow liquid droplet generators.
  • the speed flow of the liquid at both inlets determines the liquid flow in said manifold.
  • the speed flow in the first inlet (516) and second inlet (517) are the same.
  • the liquid droplet generator (100) may have a master liquid inlet which is split in said first inlet (516) and said second inlet (517). The liquid supply is then connected to said master liquid inlet where from the liquid is further provided in said liquid droplet generator (100) via said first and second inlet (516, 517).
  • the liquid-sedimentation in the manifold can be displaced whereby the liquid droplet generator (100) can directly be used for printing without the necessary maintenance so an operator can directly start the production of printed articles.
  • the droplet generator is part of a multi-pass inkjet printer wherein the halftone image is printed in multiple passes and the part is jetted in a single pass.
  • the printmask (1000) defines then the jetting of nozzles in each pass.
  • the determined part of the halftone image is additional printed by another plurality of nozzles, arranged in one or more rows, of the liquid droplet generator (100), where the liquid droplet generator (100) has at a third location in another manifold a liquid-sedimentation with highest density and wherein the other manifold is

  • the printing system may also be hybrid printing device wherein conventional printing technologies and liquid droplet technology are combined in a printing system.
  • printmasks are well known in the technical field of printing with liquid jetting technology, mainly in multi-pass inkjet printing technology.
  • Print masks are stored in a memory of the printing system, e.g. in a hardware or software printer driver, and control the signals applied to liquid droplet generator (100).
  • the actual implementation of the print mask in either hardware or software formats is considered to be within the skill of those who have knowledge of the inkjet printer arts, when this skill is applied in view of the teachings herein.
  • the printmask (1000) in the present embodiment has a width and height, so called two-dimensional printmask (1000).
  • the width and height are larger than 1.
  • the number of sequential zones may be 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 or equal to the width of the printmask (1000) or number of nozzles.
  • the printmask (1000) represents a blue noise halftoned gradient from nearest nozzle of the plurality of nozzles at the first inlet (516) to nearest nozzle of the plurality of nozzles at the second inlet (517); respectively from dark to light.
  • the printmask (1000) divides for another selected printing period following the selected printing period the plurality of nozzles in other sequential zones between the first inlet (516) and second inlet (517) comprising minimal for printing the determined part:
  • the part is determined by using a printmask (1000) which divides for a determined printing period the plurality of nozzles in sequential zones between said first and second inlet (516, 517) comprising minimal

  • Liquid sedimentation results in clogging of the liquid droplet generator (100) and poor storage stability of the liquid. They are mainly some particles of the liquid having a specific gravity between said particles and the liquid medium.
  • the liquid is preferably pigmented inkjet inks as the use of colour pigments provide higher light stability to the decorative laminate panels than dyes. It may be a pigmented aqueous inkjet ink or an UV curable inkjet ink. Said pigments are mainly found in said liquid sedimentation.
  • An aqueous inkjet ink preferably includes at least a colour pigment and water, more preferably completed with one or more organic solvents such as humectants, and a dispersant if the colour pigment is not a selfdispersible colour pigment.
  • An UV curable inkjet ink preferably includes at least a colour pigment, a polymeric dispersant, a photoinitiator and a polymerizable compound, such as a monomer or oligomer.
  • the jetting viscosity of the liquid is between 2 mPa.s and 50 mpA.s and the jetting temperature of the liquid is between 20°C and 85° C degrees.
  • the jetting viscosity is measured by measuring the viscosity of the liquid at the jetting temperature.
  • the jetting viscosity may be measured with various types of viscometers such as a Brookfield DV-II+ viscometer at jetting temperature and at 12 rotations per minute (RPM) using a CPE 40 spindle which corresponds to a shear rate of 90 s -1 or with the HAAKE Rotovisco 1 Rheometer with sensor C60/1 Ti at a shear rate of 1000 s -1 .

  • the jetting temperature may be measured with various types of thermometers.
  • the jetting temperature of jetted liquid is measured at the exit of a nozzle in the liquid droplet generator (100) while jetting or it may be measured by measuring the temperature of the liquid in the liquid channels or nozzle while jetting through the nozzle.

  • the determination of the numeric average particle diameter is best performed by photon correlation spectroscopy at a wavelength of 633 nm with a 4mW HeNe laser on a diluted sample of the pigmented inkjet ink.
  • a suitable particle size analyzer used was a Malvern TM nano-S available from Goffin-Meyvis.

  • the liquid is an UV curable based pigmented inkjet ink
  • the liquid has to be cured by ultraviolet radiation.
  • An UV curing device may be arranged in combination with the liquid droplet generator (100), travelling therewith so that the UV curable inkjet ink is exposed to curing radiation very shortly after been jetted. This method of curing is called 'UV-pinning' and helps to provide a high image quality, such as high sharpness. UV-pinning is often followed by a final UV curing step, when the UV dose in UV-pinning is insufficient to obtain full cure.
  • any ultraviolet light source as long as part of the emitted light can be absorbed by the photo-initiator or photo-initiator system, may be employed as a radiation source, such as, a high or low pressure mercury lamp, a cold cathode tube, a black light, an ultraviolet LED, an ultraviolet laser, and a flash light.
  • the preferred source is one exhibiting a relatively long wavelength UV-contribution having a dominant wavelength of 300-400 nm.
  • a UV-A light source is preferred due to the reduced light scattering therewith resulting in more efficient interior curing.
  • the UV curing and especially UV-pinning is preferably performed using UV LEDs.
  • the UV curing is performed using UV LEDs having an emission wavelength higher than 370 nm.
  • UV LEDs have a long life-time and an almost constant UV dose until the end of life, contrary to e.g. mercury bulbs.
  • the inkjet printer may include one or more oxygen depletion units.
  • the oxygen depletion units place a blanket of nitrogen or other relatively inert gas (e.g. CO 2 ), with adjustable position and adjustable inert gas concentration, in order to reduce the oxygen concentration in the curing environment. Residual oxygen levels may be maintained as low as 200 ppm, but are generally in the range of 200 ppm to 1200 ppm.
