INKJET PRINTER
Since ink is not heated at a protrusion connecting an ink supplying device and a print head chip or the like, the viscosity of the ink increases, and the fluidity may not be maintained in some cases. An inkjet printer 1 for solving the above problem includes an inkjet head 300 that ejects ink; a protrusion 310 provided to protrude from the inkjet head 300 and configured to circulate the ink to the inkjet head 300; and an ink flow path portion 6 that supplies the ink to the protrusion 310; where the ink flow path portion 6 includes an ink warming block 200 that heats the ink, and a conducting portion 210 that is formed in the ink warming block 200 itself or separately from the ink warming block 200 and through which heat from the ink warming block 200 is conducted is adjacently disposed outside the protrusion 310.
LIQUID EJECTING HEAD AND LIQUID EJECTING APPARATUS
A liquid ejecting head includes: a plurality of individual flow channels provided with nozzles; a common supply flow channel through which a liquid is supplied to the plurality of individual flow channels; a common discharge flow channel through which the liquid is discharged from the plurality of individual flow channels; and a bypass flow channel that bypasses the plurality of individual flow channels and causes the common supply flow channel and the common discharge flow channel to communicate with each other. A combined flow channel resistance of the bypass flow channel and the plurality of individual flow channels is greater than a flow channel resistance of the common supply flow channel and is greater than a flow channel resistance of the common discharge flow channel.
Liquid discharge apparatus, liquid discharge method and non transitory computer-readable medium storing control program for liquid discharge apparatus
There is provided a liquid discharge apparatus including: a conveyer; head chips; a circulation channel; and a controller. Each head chip includes a manifold; a nozzle group, and actuators. Each head chip is configured to execute discharge drive and non-discharge vibration drive. The head chips include: an end head chip; a facing head chip facing the recording medium; and a non-facing head chip not facing the recording medium. The controller is configured to make at least one of a circulation flowing amount of a liquid in the circulation channel in the facing head chip and a frequency of the non-discharge vibration drive by an actuator included in the actuators in the facing head chip larger than those of the non-facing head chip.

Liquid ejection head
A liquid ejection head including a liquid distribution path with a first liquid circulation flow path that is branched from the liquid distribution path and a second liquid circulation flow path joined to the liquid distribution path. A flow path wall sections the first and second liquid circulation flow paths and an ejection orifice is provided in each of the second liquid circulation flow path. Energy generating elements and liquid circulating elements are provided in each of the first and second liquid circulation flow paths. A structure is provided on an extension line of a center line of the first flow path wall and is placed at a position at which the structure overlaps the liquid distribution path.

FLUID MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR INKJET MACHINES
Embodiments described herein provide for a fluid management system and a method of utilizing the fluid management system. The fluid management system includes a servicing fluid management system and an ink management system. The servicing fluid management system and the ink management system run in parallel within an inkjet chamber. The ink management system supports the flow of inkjet materials between a waste tank, one or more inkjet material supply tanks, an ink management module, and the inkjet printer. The servicing fluid management system supports the flow of servicing fluids between the waste tank, one or more servicing fluid supply tanks, a servicing fluid management module, and the inkjet printer.
Liquid Ejecting Apparatus And Sub-Carriage
A liquid ejecting apparatus includes a first liquid ejecting head configured to eject a liquid to an ejection direction, a sub-carriage that holds the first liquid ejecting head, and a carriage that holds the sub-carriage. The sub-carriage includes: a first member that is thermally conductive and holds the first liquid ejecting head; and a heating section provided in the first member. The first liquid ejecting head includes a first side wall facing the first member. The first member is located between the heating section and the first side wall when viewed in the ejection direction.
Liquid ejecting head and liquid ejecting system
A liquid ejecting head including: an individual flow path row in which a plurality of individual flow paths communicating with a nozzle that ejects a liquid in a first axis direction are arranged in parallel along a second axis orthogonal to a first axis, and a first common liquid chamber communicating with the plurality of individual flow paths, in which each of the plurality of individual flow paths has a pressure chamber that stores a liquid.
