There is provided a printing apparatus which includes the following: A printhead including a plurality of nozzles that discharge ink to a print medium. A first detection unit that detects a distance between the printhead and a platen. An adjustment unit that adjusts the distance between the printhead and the platen. An acquisition unit that acquires difference information concerning a difference of a distance between the platen and each of the nozzle on an upstream side and the nozzle on a downstream side in a conveyance direction of the print medium. The adjustment unit adjusts the distance based on a detection result of the first detection unit and the difference information acquired by the acquisition unit.

A print head for an inkjet printer includes a nozzle, a first electrode positioned to receive an ink droplet from the nozzle, a second electrode positioned to receive the ink droplet from the first electrode, and a controller configured to operate the first electrode to ionize the ink droplet and set a flight speed of the ink droplet. The controller is further configured to selectively activate the second electrode to deflect the ink droplet in response to the print head changing from a horizontal printing orientation to a vertical printing orientation.

The present invention relates to compositions containing stabilized and/or activated urease inhibitors, as well as methods of making and using the same.

A printer mechanism having multiple hosts on a common platform, the printer mechanism comprising: a conveying platform (100) used for conveying a printing substrate, and an inkjet system (200) composed of a number of relatively independent hosts (210) connected to each other, the host (210) comprising at least a main cabinet (211) and an upper cabinet (212) extending from a side of the main cabinet (211), and the upper cabinets (212) of the whole inkjet system (200) being distributed in parallel above the conveying platform (100); and the printer mechanism further comprising a spray carriage system (300) composed of a number of relatively independent spray carriages (310) installed with a spray nozzle module and connected to each other, the spray carriage system (300) being disposed between the inkjet system (200) and the conveying platform (100), and the spray carriages (310) being correspondingly connected to the hosts (210) one by one.

The present disclosure relates to a portable printer including a main body in a portable form which is capable of accommodating a cartridge having a nozzle for delivering a printing material to a target having a soft or hard surface, a seating part which is provided to be exposed to an outside from a lower portion of the main body to face the surface of the target and at least partially surrounds the nozzle, a roller provided respectively at the front and rear of the nozzle at the lower portion of the main body with respect to a direction in which the main body moves along the surface of the target to deliver the printing material to the target, and a printing adjustment unit configured to adjust a height difference between the nozzle and the roller to adjust a height difference between the nozzle and the surface of the target.

A liquid ejecting apparatus RIM which ejects liquid onto a medium includes a carriage which includes a control substrate which configures at least a part of a control unit which controls driving of the entire liquid ejecting apparatus, a plurality of ejecting units which eject the liquid, a plurality of driving substrates which are connected to the control substrate, connected to the plurality of ejecting units in one-to-one correspondence, and drives the ejecting unit, an ejecting unit-driving substrate accommodating unit which accommodates the ejecting unit and the driving substrate, and a control substrate accommodating unit which accommodates the control substrate, in which the plurality of driving substrates are connected to the control substrate.

A liquid discharge apparatus includes a liquid discharge head to discharge liquid, a head holder to hold the liquid discharge head, a sub-carriage to hold the head holder, and a carriage to hold the sub-carriage and which is movable in a main scanning direction. The carriage includes a reference extending along the main scanning direction that holds and positions the sub-carriage in the carriage. The head holder includes a rotation reference around which the head holder is rotatable with respect to the sub-carriage, and an angle adjuster to regulate a rotation and adjust an angle of the rotation of the head holder with respect to the sub-carriage.

This disclosure is directed to securing, with a simple structure, a head to a position in a carriage without having to fasten screws so as to prevent possible loss of a desired printing quality. A carriage is provided that includes a main housing mounted to a printing unit body, an eccentric cam rotatably disposed in the main housing, a sub housing that holds a head that ejects ink droplets. The sub housing makes contact with a cam face of the eccentric cam and is movable upward and downward relative to the main housing in response to rotation of the eccentric cam. The carriage further includes a rotation regulator that regulates rotation of the sub housing around a rotating shaft of the eccentric cam.

A carriage device includes a first guide member and a second guide member for supporting a carriage with a head mounted thereon at two separate positions and guiding reciprocation of the carriage, a first adjustment unit configured to adjust a height of the carriage relative to the first guide member through movement of the carriage, and a second adjustment unit configured to adjust a height of the carriage relative to the second guide member through the movement of the carriage. The carriage device can sequentially perform a first operation of changing the height of the carriage by the first adjustment unit and a second operation of changing the height of the carriage by the second adjustment unit.

An inkjet recording apparatus includes a first adjustment portion and a second adjustment portion. The first adjustment portion adjusts a position of an inkjet head in a predetermined direction intersecting with an up-down direction. The second adjustment portion retains the first adjustment portion in a liftable manner and adjusts a position of the first adjustment portion in the up-down direction. The second adjustment portion includes a tilted member which has an upper surface tilted with respect to the predetermined direction and is slidable in the predetermined direction. The first adjustment portion includes a contact portion which protrudes downwardly and comes into contact with the upper surface of the tilted member.
