ABSTRACT:
An air assisted drop-on-demand ink jet head 10 has an ink chamber with an ink drop-forming orifice outlet 23 from which ink drops are generated in response to pressure waves caused by a piezoelectric crystal 56. The ink drops are carried by air outwardly through an external orifice 24 and toward printing medium. The internal orifice outlet 23 is centered in a projecting structure 48 which extends toward the external orifice 24. In one form, the projection 48 is of a frustoconical or mesa-like shape. Air flowing past the top of the projection prevents ink from wetting anything but the top of the projection, resulting in highly uniform ink drop formation with a single uniform dot being produced on the printing medium in response to each pressure wave.
