Abstract
The tandem type direct printing apparatus,comprises a plurality of printing stations,and,for propelling printing particles,born on a bearing member,through a plurality of apertures,formed on a printing head,and for depositing the printing particles,on a print medium,to form an image. The plurality of printing stations,and,are positioned in the moving direction of the print medium,to form the composite image on the print medium,. The method of the present invention comprises providing a control electrode for deflecting printing particles,in adjacent to each aperture,in at least one of the plurality of printing stations,and,, the control electrode,being positioned at least one side of a direction different from the moving direction of the print medium,; and applying a voltage to the control electrode,so that the printing particles,passing through the aperture,are deflected to adjust the position of the image formed on the print medium in the perpendicular direction to the moving direction of the print medium
