Real time adaptive inkjet temperature regulation controller

The invention relates to an inkjet temperature regulation controller that includes a time base circuit adapted to generate a clock signal and a head temperature sampler adapted to generate head temperature data by sensing print head temperature responsive to the clock signal. A preheat data generating circuit is adapted to translate the head temperature data into head preheat temperature data. A preheat data delivering circuit is adapted to provide the preheat temperature data to at least one preheating element. A monitor circuit is adapted to generate statistical data according to the head temperature data. The preheat data generating circuit receives updated head preheat temperature data responsive to the statistical data.
