A liquid stream is caused to jet from a nozzle. A small or large drop waveform applied to a drop forming mechanism causes the liquid stream to break up into a small or large volume drop, respectively. The small drop waveform includes a pulse having a pulse energy Es, and a period XS, where XS≈1/fR, and where fR is the Rayleigh frequency of the liquid. The large drop waveform has a period XL, where XL=NXS, with the large volume drop being N times the small volume drop. The large drop waveform includes a first pulse having a pulse energy EL1, where EL1≧ES and a second pulse occurring within a time period X2, where X2≰XS, of an initial pulse of a subsequent small or large drop waveform, the second pulse including a pulse energy EL2, where EL2<ES. |
