Ink jet recording apparatus.

摘要

An ink-jet recording apparatus includes a film (44) having a number of holes (44a) for holding ink. The film is driven in a predetermined direction near a recording paper (16). ink is supplied to the holes by an ink supply mechanism (52). Ink in desired holes are heated by a thermal head (50) to be ejected onto the recording paper. The thermal head is supported by a bimorph cell (56). In accordance with a voltage supplied from a voltage generator, the bimorph cell exponds or contracts to move the thermal head between a first position wherein the thermal head is adjacent to the recording paper and in contact with the film and a second position wherein the thermal head is separated from the recording paper and film.
