APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MULTI-JET GENERATION OF HIGH VISCOSITY FLUID

摘要

A continuous jet module, apparatus and method are described for printing with a high viscosity printing fluid having a viscosity of 10 to 100 centipoise. The module (10) includes a housing (112) having a printing fluid reservoir for feeding the high viscosity printing fluid to a plurality of channels (114). The reservoir has a first longitudinal direction and includes a plurality of openings (116) in a second direction. Each channel (114) is disposed in one of the corresponding openings (116), and each channel receives the high viscosity printing fluid from the reservoir through its corresponding opening and generates therefrom a continuous jet of high viscosity printing fluid.
