Abstract:
There are provided a printing apparatus and printing method capable of collecting unwanted ink mist and achieving high-quality printing by fine ink droplets. According to the method, the charges of a printing medium are removed prior to printing, and an ink mist collecting unit having an electrode of a positive polarity is employed. Floating ink mist is collected such that ink mist generated from discharged ink droplets and negatively charged is moved toward the ink mist collecting unit by the electrostatic force. A fan might be provided. Another method is provided wherein an electrode guides satellite drops towards the printing medium.
