ABSTRACT:
A method for removing kogation deposits or other materials from the heater element of a thermal ink jet printer includes selecting a pulse voltage, pulse width and number of pulses, and apply the selected number of pulses at the selected pulse voltage and pulse width to the heater element to disrupt the kogation deposits. An apparatus for removing kogation deposits or other materials from the heater elements of a thermal ink jet printer includes a controller and a voltage supply, such that the voltage supply is controlled by the controller to supply a selected number of pulses at a selected pulse voltage and a selected pulse width to the heater elements.
