Abstract
A recording apparatus has a nozzle ( ) containing a viscous substance ( ) of a viscosity not lower than 300 cP. A recording electrode ( ) is disposed on the nozzle ( ) at a position near the forward end of the nozzle ( ). A meniscus ( ) of the viscous substance ( ) is formed on the forward end of the nozzle ( ), and then an electric pulse signal corresponding to an image signal is applied to the recording electrode ( ) to vibrate the meniscus ( ) or to separate a small droplet of the viscous substance ( ) from the meniscus ( ) and to make the droplet fly. The droplet adheres to a recording medium ( ) disposed opposite to the nozzle ( ) for recording. The timing of a droplet discharging operation for thus discharging droplets of the viscous substance ( ) and the discharge amount of the viscous substance ( ) can be controlled through the control of the pulse width or the amplitude of the voltage pulses of the electric pulse signal.
