ABSTRACT:
An ink-jet type recording device and a method for generating ink droplets in such a recording device in which a time difference between the leading and trailing ends of an ink column jetted out from a nozzle opening is reduced without decreasing the average speed of the ink column so as to prevent generation of satellites droplets and the like. A capacitor maintaining a voltage for expansion of a pressure generation chamber is discharged by switching a plurality of resistances differing in the discharge resistance thereof by means of switching transistors. As a result, the terminal voltage of the capacitor is caused to vary at a speed which is determined by the values of the resistances. Therefore, by selecting the values of the resistances such that the absolute value of the differential value of the terminal voltage increases with time, the rate of contraction of the pressure generation chamber can be increased gradually to thereby minimize a speed difference between the leading and trailing ends of the ink column.
