Abstract
【解決手段】相変化インク画像形成機10において、溶融固体インクのより優れた制御フローは、1個以上のバルブポートを有するバルブプレート、アンビリカル・コネクタ、およびバルブプレートとアンビリカル・コネクタの間に配置されたバルブを含む固体のインクバルブ・システムにより提供されることができる。バルブプレートとアンビリカル・コネクタの間のインク流を、バルブを起動させることにより非同期的に調整することができる。そのような起動は、バルブのバルブ要素を囲むコイルおよびバルブ要素に配置されたワイヤに電流を流すことにより、および/またはバルブポートに関連付けられたバルブを非同期的に起動させることにより、バルブを加熱および冷却して実行することができる。
【選択図】図1
