PURPOSE:To reduce the period of time required for heating at the time of starting, enable to simplify construction and to reduce size, simplify the construction of an ink-supplying part and obtain the titled recorder excellent in maintainability and operability, by jetting a heat-fusible ink while selectively controlling by an electrostatic attractive force. CONSTITUTION:The recorder comprises an ink-supplying part 2 for appropriately supplying a granular or lump form heat-fusible ink 1, a heating container part 3 having a holed construction for receiving the ink 11 supplied from the part 2 and heating the ink 11 to melt the latter, an ink-jetting substrate 6 receiving and reserving the liquid ink 12 supplied from the container part 3 and provided with a plurality of electrodes 4 arranged in a plate form and a heating means 5, a plurality of counter electrodes 8 arranged on the back side of a recording paper 7 and provided with a polarity opposite to that of the electrodes 4, and an ink jet controlling part 9 for selectively impressing voltages on the electrodes 4, 8 in accordance with an image signal to jet the ink as ink droplets 13 by electrostatic attractive forces. The liquefied ink is caused to fly to record an image on the paper 7. |
