Abstract
The invention relates to a method and a device for producing and deflecting ink drops in a continuous ink-jet printer in which a continuous cohesive ink jet exits from a nozzle of a pressure chamber, and in which at least one acoustic pulse () strikes the cohesive ink jet () transversely to the propagation direction, and one segment of the ink jet () upon which the acoustic pulse () acts is separated from the cohesive ink jet () and deflected from its original propagation direction (), the separated segment forming an ink drop () during its travel due to cohesion forces.
