Impression par jet d'encre : technologie goutte à la demande. L'encre est retenue dans la buse grâce à une basse pression créée dans le circuit d'encre. Quand un point doit être imprimé, une onde de choc est créée par un transducteur piézo-électrique qui propulse la goutte d'encre vers le papier. Seules les gouttes utiles sont donc éjectées, ce qui élimine le besoin de récupération des gouttes inutiles. 2, record 1, French, - imprimante%20%C3%A0%20jet%20d%27encre%20goutte%20%C3%A0%20la%20demande

N'ayant trouvé aucun équivalent pour traduire "drop-on-demand printer", "pulsed jet printer", je suggère la création du terme "imprimante à jet d'encre goutte à la demande" qui couvre bien la notion. Il a cependant le défaut d'être un peu long. 1, record 1, French, - imprimante%20%C3%A0%20jet%20d%27encre%20goutte%20%C3%A0%20la%20demande
