There is provided a liquid ejecting apparatus including: a head having a nozzle; a signal outputting part having an electrode and configured to output a signal indicating a magnitude of an electric change in the electrode; and a controller. The controller is configured to execute a determination as to whether or not the nozzle is normal based on the signal output from the signal outputting part in a case that the controller drives the head so as to eject a liquid droplet from the nozzle toward the electrode. The controller is configured to determine that the nozzle is normal in a case that the magnitude of the electric change is within a predetermined normal range, and to determine that the nozzle has a first abnormality in a case that the magnitude of the electric change is greater than the normal range.

A liquid discharge head includes multiple nozzles arrayed in a first direction, the multiple nozzles to discharge droplets in a discharge direction onto a medium conveyed in a second direction intersecting the first direction, and a gas-discharge port between the multiple nozzles adjacent to each other in the first direction, the gas-discharge port to discharge gas.

An apparatus for supplying chemical liquid may include at least two ink jet heads, a reservoir for receiving a chemical liquid provided onto a substrate from each of the at least two ink jet heads, a chemical liquid supplying member for providing the chemical liquid to each of the at least two ink jet heads, and a chemical liquid collecting member for drawing and collecting a chemical liquid remaining in each of the at least two ink jet heads. One path of the chemical liquid from the chemical liquid supplying member to the chemical liquid collecting member via one of the at least two ink jet heads may be substantially the same as a length of another path of the chemical liquid from the chemical liquid supplying member to the chemical liquid collecting member via the other of the at least two ink jet heads.

An inkjet printing device includes a chamber having an imaginary centerline that divides a length of the chamber in the first direction into two halves, and a plurality of inkjet nozzles coupled to the chamber and receiving ink from the chamber, the inkjet nozzles being arranged in a plurality of columns along a first direction. The inkjet nozzles include a center column nozzle disposed adjacent to the centerline of the chamber and an outer column nozzle disposed farther from the centerline than the center column nozzle. The chamber includes a bump portion disposed farther from the centerline than the outer column nozzle, the bump portion including a bump on an inner surface of the chamber.

Systems comprising: printheads configured to apply ink marks to a sheet of media; sensor(s) configured to scan the sheet of media to obtain scan data; and processor(s) configured to analyze the scan data to (i) determine whether an amount of ink spread on at least one side of the sheet of media is within a range of values, and or (ii) determine whether a difference between a first average line width associated with a first side of the sheet of media and a second average line width associated with a second side of the sheet of media is greater than a threshold value. The system is configured to perform a print job based on results of the analyzing.
