ABSTRACT:
An ink jet apparatus has a piezoelectric ceramic arrangement including a plurality of grooves filled with ink. The grooves are separated from one another by side walls, and the inside of the grooves are partially furnished with electrodes. The electrodes receive a driving voltage to selectively vary the inner volumes of the grooves based on the piezoelectric thickness slip effect. The selectively varied inner volumes of the grooves cause the ink to jet out therefrom. In this structure, the height of the side walls divided by the width thereof is at least 2 and at most 9. Using a low driving voltage, the apparatus boosts the ink pressure within the ink chambers so as to keep the velocity of jetted ink droplets sufficiently high and the volume thereof sufficiently large to form characters and images onto a printing medium.
