Abstract:
1. A system for printing comprising: a drop ejector including: a transport that provides relative motion between a receiver and the drop ejector at a first speed and provides relative motion between the receiver and the drop ejector at a second speed; a drop charging device including: a synchronization device that synchronizes the drop formation device and the drop charging device to produce a print drop charge state on the print drops and produce a non-print drop charge state on non-print drops, the print drop charge state and the non-print drop charge state being distinct when compared to each other; a deflection device associated with the print drops and the non-print drops traveling along the initial path that causes the print drops having the print drop charge state to travel along a print drop path and causes the non-print drops having the non-print drop charge states to travel along a non-print drop path; and a catcher positioned to collect the non-print drops traveling along the non-print drop path while allowing the print drops traveling along the print drop path to continue traveling toward the receiver.
