Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A nozzle surface (nozzle plate) of a printing head which ejects UV-curable ink from a nozzle is tilted with a predetermined inclination angle θ with respect to the recording surface of a recording sheet so as to face the opposite side to an ultraviolet irradiator. In this manner, it is difficult for the ultraviolet light which is radiated from the ultraviolet irradiator, and is reflected on the recording sheet to input to the nozzle plate, and it is possible to prevent ink in the nozzle from being thickened, or being cured due to the ultraviolet light.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An image forming apparatus comprising: an ejecting head which has a nozzle surface formed with nozzles which eject photo-curable liquid; a light irradiating unit which is arranged in the vicinity of the ejecting head, and radiates light; and a moving unit which relatively moves the ejecting head and a recording medium, wherein liquid is ejected on a recording surface of the recording medium from the nozzles, while relatively moving the recording medium…
