Abstract
A printer head of an ink jet printer is provided with an internal stimulation system with which it is possible to create in an upstream breaking position of a jet, an upstream break-up forming in a zero potential area, drops which will be used for printing, and jet sections on the one hand and in a downstream breaking position, a break-up of the jet or of sections of the jet forming in a non-zero potential area, drops which are recovered on the other hand. A sorting system common to all the jets of the head provides simplification of the head and reduction of its bulkiness.
