ABSTRACT:
Image forming system and system. The method comprises a transducer for pressurizing and depressurizing an ink body so that an ink meniscus alternately extends from the ink body as the ink body is pressurized to form a neck portion thereof and retracts as the ink body is depressurized. An ink droplet separator is is in communication with the neck portion of the meniscus for lowering surface tension of the neck portion of the meniscus. In this regard, the droplet separator lowers the surface tension of the meniscus as the meniscus extends from the ink body. The extended meniscus severs from the ink body to form an ink droplet as the droplet separator lowers the surface tension of the neck portion to a predetermined value and as the ink meniscus retracts during depressurization of the ink body.
