We studied a method of removal of the kogation by a drive pulse that we named a "Recovery Pulse" which is different from that for printing. As a result, we have found that kogation can be removed efficiently from the heater by adding the recovery pulses with smaller drive energy around jetting threshold than that for normal printing. That is, apparently this recovery is made not by a cavitation induced self-healing, but by the mechanism of residue floating or detachment. Based on the study, it can be concluded that the recovery pulse using the mechanism is effective for removal of kogation.
