ABSTRACT:
A printer using ink balls includes ink balls, an injection pipe, an ink ball driving mechanism, a force applying mechanism, and a heating unit. The ink balls are made of an ink material and having a spherical shape at room temperature. The injection pipe injects said ink balls. The ball driving mechanism supplies each ink ball to a predetermined injection position in the injection pipe. The flying force applying mechanism applies a force to cause said ink ball located at the predetermined injection position to fly in response to a drive signal representing a printing timing. The heating unit heats and melts said flying ink ball.
