Ink jet recording apparatus using the thermal energy and recovery method therefor.

摘要

A recovery method for an ink jet recording apparatus comprising recording means for recording by discharging the ink with bubbles formed by the thermal energy applied to a heat acting area in an ink holding portion, and energy supply means for forming said thermal energy on said recording means, including a compulsory recovery mode in which more than 10<3> predischarges are accomplished by supplying the energy exceeding 1.48 times the minimum energy Eo necessary for producing said bubbles.
