Abstract

A liquid jet printing apparatus is provided having a nozzle for emitting a stream of liquid droplets toward a substrate, a charging section for providing an electrical charge to liquid droplets and a pair of electrically conductive deflecting plates for deflecting the liquid droplets to a desired location on the substrate, wherein the inside face of the deflecting plates is provided with dielectric layer to minimize problems associated with liquid droplets collecting and coalescing on the deflecting plates.
