ABSTRACT:
An ink jet recorder for printing on a moving print web has a means for generating a plurality of parallel streams of selectively charged ink drops. These streams descend downwardly toward the moving print web and pass through a deflecting field. A catcher is provided for catching the drops reflected by the field and ingesting the drops. The catcher includes a substantially vertical drop catching surface and an upwardly extending drop ingesting opening defined in part by a curved surface at the bottom of the drop catching surface. With such a catcher configuration, drops will flow down the drop catching surface and then upwardly through the opening. A bottom plate extending along the bottom of the catcher and defining, with the curved surface, the drop ingesting opening may be formed from a porous material.
