Abstract
Here disclosed is an ink jet apparatus having an ink-circulating/dispersing function. The apparatus provides ink with dispersion as required, and circulates the ink through a tube to an ink-collecting tank. During this circulation, a required amount of the ink is fed to a printer head to form a predetermined pattern on a surface of a substrate. By virtue of the circulating/dispersing function, the apparatus can cope well with easy-to-aggregate ink having poor stability in terms of printing, thereby protecting a printer head or an ink-spouting section from clogging during ink jet printing. Such stabilized ink jet printing contributes to manufacturing highly reliable electronic components with an increased yield of products.
