The present embodiments relate to a printing apparatus capable of mitigating/preventing instances of turbulent deviation of ink jetted from print heads when printing onto a substrate, a severe form of which looks like woodgrain. The printing apparatus can include a jet plate disposed on a subjacent surface of the printing apparatus that can include a series of apertures formed in the jet plate that are configured to receive corresponding print heads of the printing apparatus. The jet plate can also include a set of wings extending from a first end of a central portion of the jet plate. The set of wings can form a cutout portion of the jet plate that can modify a direction and/or velocity of a flow of air from the cutout portion along the printing area to mitigate/prevent a woodgrain defect occurring when distributing a material onto the substrate.

Examples include a device comprising integrated circuit dies molded into a molded panel. The molded panel has three-dimensional features formed therein, where the three-dimensional features are associated with the integrated circuit dies. To form the three-dimensional features, a feature formation material is deposited, the molded panel is formed, and the feature formation material is removed.

To provide a head adjustment device, a head device, and a printing apparatus with which it is possible to perform automatic position adjustment of a head module in a head including one or more head modules. Provided is a head adjustment device (150) which adjusts a position of a head module in a head including one or more head modules, the head adjustment device (150) including an adjustment unit that includes an actuator that is connected to an adjustment member, which is operated in a case where the position of the head module is to be adjusted, and operates the adjustment member, a movement unit (248) that moves the adjustment unit relative to the head, and a movement control unit (244) that sets coordinates to be applied to the movement unit based on a reference position of the head module and moves the adjustment unit based on coordinate values of the adjustment member.

A pagewide printhead for printing redundantly in four colors. First and second rows of printhead chips are mounted on a common ink manifold having four ink supply channels for supplying four colors of ink to the first and second rows of printhead chips. Dedicated ink outlets interconnect one ink supply channel of the ink manifold with a pair of redundant nozzle rows in each printhead chip.

An inkjet head includes a first and a second channel substrates. At least one of the first and the second channel substrates is formed of silicon. A bonding interface of the first and the second channel substrates is bonded via an adhesive layer. A protective film containing a compound having a Si—C bond is formed on: an ink channel surface formed of silicon among the first and the second channel substrates; and a surface of the channel substrate side formed of silicon in the adhesive layer.

A liquid ejecting head includes: a plurality of head chips having nozzles; a holder holding the plurality of head chips; and a planar heater disposed on the holder and heating the holder, in which the heater includes an outer peripheral region along an outer edge of the holder and a middle region positioned inside the outer peripheral region in a plan view, and a heat generation amount per unit time of the outer peripheral region is larger than a heat generation amount per unit time of the middle region.

A liquid discharge head includes a recording element substrate including a discharge port configured to discharge a liquid, a pressure generating element configured to pressurize the liquid to discharge the liquid, and an electric connecting portion connected to the pressure generating element through an electric wiring and configured to supply power for driving the pressure generating element to the pressure generating element. The liquid discharge head includes a first recessed portion and a second recessed portion formed in a range from a back surface of a discharge port surface in which the discharge port of the recording element substrate is formed up to the electric connecting portion, and a communicating portion configured to connect a space formed within the first recessed portion and a space formed within the second recessed portion by allowing the first recessed portion and the second recessed portion to communicate with each other.

Provided is a liquid ejection head and a liquid ejection apparatus in which separation of ejection modules from a support member is suppressed. To this end, a liquid supply unit is aligned with respect to the support member to which the ejection modules are bonded. Moreover, in a connection unit of an ejection unit and the liquid supply unit, liquid connection units of the ejection unit are connected to be movable relative to the liquid supply unit.

A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a liquid ejecting head, a first drive signal, a second drive signal output circuit, a third drive signal output circuit that outputs a third drive signal, having a smaller voltage amplitude than voltage amplitudes of other drive signals, to drive the liquid ejecting head, and a first conductive component including a first conductive section that electrically couples the liquid ejecting head to the first drive signal output circuit, a second conductive section that electrically couples the liquid ejecting head to the second drive signal output circuit, and a third conductive section that electrically couples the liquid ejecting head to the third drive signal output circuit. The first conductive section is positioned between the second conductive section and the third conductive section.

There is provided a head bar unit including a head bar, an adjuster and a movement. The head bar includes a plurality of heads. The adjuster is supported by the head bar, and is configured to adjust positions in a vertical direction of the heads. The movement is configured to move the head bar and the adjuster in the vertical direction. The adjuster includes a motor, a rotator and a stopper. The rotator includes a plurality of contact portions. The rotator is configured to be rotated by the motor around a rotating shaft. The stopper is located at a position facing the rotator in the vertical direction, and is configured to position the rotator in the vertical direction, by making contact with one of the contact portions.
