Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1902843A1] The method involves combining freely selectable ink droplets (11, 12), following in succession, with each other during projecting the droplets by a discharge nozzle (6) up to a striking spot on a print substrate. The ink droplets are individually and/or selectively advanced or retarded into an electrode arrangement (50) by electrical fields caused in a direction of projection of the ink droplets. The ink droplets are combined to a common drop, and form a droplet group. An independent claim is also included for a method for creating ink-droplets with a continuously operating ink-jet printer.
