Abstract

An apparatus for ejecting droplets of ink including: a passage for ink; an orifice disposed at one end of the passage; a pressure-applying device for applying a pressure wave to the ink within the passage; and a signal-supplying device for supplying an actuating signal to the pressure-applying device. The frequency of the signal is such that the displacement of the ink surface at the orifice due to the pressure wave is maximized.
