Abstract
A uniform velocity and/or time of flight profile across the jet streams of a multinozzle aspirated ink jet printer is maintained by a closed loop servo system. The servo system includes a drop charge sensor which senses the time of flight of charge droplets in the streams and generates a controlled signal. The signal is utilized by a controller means to generate controlled voltages. The voltages are used to adjust the velocity of a motor/blower apparatus which supplies air to the aspirated ink jet printer.
