3) Description of parts

BJ Print Head (black head, ink optimizer head, color head, and photo head)

The heater board and aluminum plate are connected to the flexible cable.

Flexible Cable

The signal contacts are connected to the heater board by printed pattern wiring.

The contacts are in contact with the signal contacts on the carriage, and are used for the input and output of print signals and sensor signals between the printer and BJ print head (heater board).

Heater Board

The heater board has a built-in drive circuit, and is set against the ink room of the head holder and the nozzles.

The electrode for the ink-out detector is located at the ink room. The heater is aligned with the rows of nozzles against the nozzles.

Aluminum Plate

The aluminum plate supports the heater board and flexible cable.

Head Holder

The head holder supports the BJ print head.

The ink room stores the inks that are supplied to the nozzles. The ink-out detection pulse is applied from the heater board electrode.

The nozzles are formed by aligning the ink ejection grooves with the heater array on the heater board.

Head Stopper

The head stopper attaches the BJ print head to the head holder.

The heater board uses semiconductor technology, in which the heaters and ICs, etc., of the drive circuit are mounted on a silicon plate.

When the heater drive starts, the ink in the nozzles gets hot, causing the formation of many bubbles. These finally form one bubble which, as it heats up, forces the ink to be ejected from the nozzle. Even when the heater is stopped, the residual heat causes bubbles to continue to form and ink to be ejected from the nozzle tips. The nozzle is replenished with ink after the ink has been ejected.
