20240269991 · 2024-08-15 ·

A focused spray jet printing system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include an atomization unit which atomizes ink by a carrier gas to make generate atomization droplets; a head unit including a virtual impactor which uniformizes sizes of supply atomization droplets ejected from the atomization unit to eject uniform atomization droplets; a focusing unit which is provided in the head unit to focus the uniform atomization droplets introduced into the head unit with sheath gas to spray the uniform atomization droplets onto a substrate; a sheath MFC which supplies the sheath gas, and a valve unit which is selectively connected to any one of an atomization droplet flow path which is formed in the head unit to flow the uniform atomization droplets to connect the virtual impactor and the focusing unit and a flow path formed at the outside of the head unit to flow the sheath gas.

Aerosol control in a printer

In one example, an aerosol control system for a printer includes an air knife to discharge a sheet of air into a flow of aerosol along a moving print substrate web and a vacuum near the air knife to suck up aerosol from the flow simultaneously with the air knife discharging air into the flow.

Printing assembly

A printing assembly has a frame having two side walls and has at least one cross member which extends at least in a transverse direction between the side walls and which has at least one supporting body which can be moved in relation to the frame in at least one parking direction and which extends at least in the transverse direction. At least one printing head is arranged on the supporting body and can be moved jointly with the supporting body. At least one first contact point, which is arranged on the supporting body, and at least one second contact point, which is arranged on the cross member, form a first contact-point pair. The first contact points lie opposite each other in the parking direction and are one of in contact and can be brought into contact with each other. At least one third contact point, which is arranged on the supporting body, and at least one fourth contact point, which is arranged on the cross member, form a second contact-point pair. The second contact points lie opposite each other at least at times at least also in a supporting direction orthogonal to the parking direction and orthogonal to the transverse direction and are one of in contact and can be brought into contact with each other.

A printing assembly has at least one frame, which frame has at least two side walls, between which two side walls a transport path, provided for the transport of printing material, at least partially extends. At least one transport direction is defined by the transport path provided for the transport of printing material. The printing assembly has at least two cross members which are spaced apart from each other in the transport direction and which each extend from one of the side walls to another of the side walls. Each of the at least two cross members has at least one first cross beam and at least one second cross beam spaced apart therefrom, which jointly bound at least one interior of the particular cross member at least partially in and against the transport direction. At least one component of one of a gas transport device and at least one additional device for supplying at least one printing head with one of energy and operating media and printing fluid and data and at least one gas and at least one inner device for one of cleaning and maintaining and covering at least one printing head is arranged in the at least one interior in each case. The printing assembly has at least one supporting body which can be moved, in relation to the frame, in at least one parking direction and which extends at least in a transverse direction between side walls. At least one printing head is arranged on the at least one supporting body and can be moved jointly with the at least one supporting body.
