Abstract
For printing, the principle of the continuous deflected jet is used: a device () discharges a continuous stream () of a conductive liquid, which is deflected by an electric field created by a deflecting electrode () and directed toward a gutter (). The printing of drops () is performed by fragmenting the continuous jet () into a segment () formed opposite a shield electrode () upstream of the deflecting electrode (), so that the segment () is not deflected and can be directed toward a substrate ().
