IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO CONTINUOUS INKJET PRINTERS

摘要

The invention describes a gutter for incorporation in the print head of a continuous inkjet printer. The gutter, which is preferably provided with a slot entrance, is configured to reflect ink droplets which pass into the gutter off the gutter walls and towards the exit passage of the gutter. This arrangement allows the gutter to perform extremely well even when there is significant mis-alignment of the drop generator with the gutter.
