A method and apparatus for starting and stopping the flow of ink from an ink jet printer having a plurality of ink jet orifices through which streams of droplets of ink continuously issue, charge electrodes, deflection electrodes and a drop catcher. An elongated nozzle extends along the length of the orifices and directs an air flow therefrom against the streams of ink issuing from the orifices so as to divert the stream into the catcher to prevent any ink droplets from falling on the media to be printed upon.
