SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the invention to increase the reliabil 15 ity of a printer by reducing the chance of a disabled In an inkjet printer, of charge controlled type, for print-out due to the imperfect projection of an ink example, in which ink under pressure is projected from stream from the nozzle of an ink projecting head or by a nozzle, ink is pumped by a pump from an ink vessel to reducing the frequency of checking or cleaning the be supplied to an ink projecting head. The ink project head. ing head is provided with a vibrator, which vibrates at 20 The degree to which the nozzle of an ink projecting a given frequency to impart pressure oscillations of a head becomes plugged depends on the environment in given period to the ink received within the head. The which the printer is placed or the length of time during ink is normally projected from the nozzle under a given which the printer has been left out of use. The imperfect pressure and with a given pressure oscillation, whereby projection of an ink stream may be caused by various the ink stream is separated into ink particles at a given 25 factors and occur in different manners.

    Pensum a monster for text, text and nothing but text — 18 sharp ’n’ soft serif fonts by Nils Thomsen www.typemates.com Pensum Pro · by TypeMates Page 2 ensum is a typeface for text, text and nothing but text. A pure monster, straight and plain. It will set reliably word for word, line for line and paragraph for paragraph, sometimes a spark of the sexy, curvy and strongly ink trapped italic Psneaks into proceedings but anyhow the plain workhorse will keep on setting text. Deep inside some sharp details are hidden unlike some brushy and smooth shapes to be revealed in large sizes. But seriously … Pensum comes along with nine weights from thin to black plus italics. The strong serifs combined with the low contrast makes it excellent for long reading text for example in magazines and books. The extreme thin and fragile styles can give a stylish and fash- ionable look, while the strong black weights are great for the rough nature of mountain sports. Pensum counts around 1050 glyphs including lots of OpenType Features to full fill every typo- — sexy, curvy and graphical need. Most important for lovers of book typography, the strongly ink trapped small-caps are slightly wider than the caps. You will find punctuation italic shapes — in case- and small cap-sensitive variations. The Adobe Latin 3 encoding is a TypeMates standard and gives a wide range of flexibility for Latin language support. Pensum is broad-nib based and inspired by some handwritten brush exercises at Peter Verheuls class during Type and Media course 2009 in The Hague.

Normal letter spacing is subtly adjusted to avoid typographical problems, such as widows and rivers; open, touching, or expanded are most often used in display matter.
