Abstract

In the high-frequency drop-on-demand ink jet system described in the specification, a variable impedance characteristic of an ink jet orifice is utilized to provide maximum drop ejection rates exceeding the maximum rates possible with constant orifice impedance characteristics. In one embodiment, successive negative, positive and negative pulses are applied to eject each drop in order to utilize a nonlinear orifice impedance characteristic, permitting maximum ink drop ejection rates exceeding 10-20 kHz and up to 150-200 kHz, and, in another embodiment, the ink jet orifice is designed with a bellmouth shape arranged to enhance the variable impedance characteristic.\!
