Abstract

A method and apparatus for printing a desired pattern on a substrate (4) by discharging continuous stream of liquid ink drops (5) from nozzles (2) towards the substrate (4), and selectively charging the liquid ink drops (5) with multi-level charges deflecting them different amounts. Some of the liquid ink drops (5) are thus directed to different locations on the substrate (4) for printing the desired pattern thereon, while other liquid ink drops (5) not to be printed are intercepted by a gutter (8) before reaching the substrate (4). At least some of the liquid ink drops (5) to be printed being either uncharged or charged with a multi-level charge of one polarity, while all the liquid ink drops (5) not to be printed are charged with a charge of the opposite polarity. Each stream of ink drops (5) discharged from a nozzle (2) is illuminated with stroboscopic light (10) at the same frequency as the drop formation, and the illuminated stream is optically sensed on the fly from determining various conditions, including ink velocity, X-axis offset and Y-axis offset.
