Abstract
A printing device and a method to transfer ink onto a recording medium are disclosed. A plurality of print elements are each provided with a first high-voltage electrode and a second high-voltage electrode. Given supply of a high voltage to these electrodes, a spark discharge ensues whose shock impulse transfers ink onto the recording medium.
