Abstract
A preliminary investigation has been conducted on the control of a micro-droplet in electrostatic inkjet phenomena, because the electrostatic inkjet has a merit that the formation and locus of the droplet can be controlled by the application of the electric field. It was observed that a Taylor cone of the ink was formed at the tip of a tube and the tip of the cone was broken to form a very small droplet. It was demonstrated that highly fine image, 2,700dpi Kanji character, was printed on a paper utilizing this phenomenon.
