<p>A method for controlling the volume of ink droplets ejected from a drop on demand ink jet apparatus including the transducer operable for producing a pressure disturbance within an associated ink chamber for ejecting an ink droplet from an associated orifice, the method comprising the steps of operating the transducer in an iterative manner for producing a plurality of successively equal or higher or lower amplitude pressure disturbances within the ink chamber, or some combination thereof, for causing a plurality of successively equal or higher or lower velocity ink droplets, or some combination thereof, to be ejected from the orifice of the ink jet apparatus, within a time period permitting the ink droplets to either merge in flight or at the point of striking a recording medium.</p> |
