Abstract
A plurality of nozzle rows are formed in a nozzle plate, and nozzle electrodes for generating a deflecting field are provided for every two nozzle rows. Each electrode is attached to the nozzle plate so as to locate between the corresponding adjacent two nozzles. Ink reception absorption bodies are embedded in the bottom surface of the electrodes. Refresh ink droplets deflected by the deflecting field travels along U-turn paths and impinge on the ink reception absorption bodies.
