Abstract

The printhead has a multitude of adjacently arranged channels with piezo-electrical shear converters. The impulse form for activation of the converters—depending upon the number of simultaneously activated neighboring channels—is changed in such manner that the exit velocity of the ink droplets is constant. This makes it possible to obtain a better print image.
