A deposition device is described. The deposition device has a substrate support and an imaging system disposed to image a portion of a substrate positioned on the substrate support. The imaging system comprises an LED light source and an imaging unit, and is coupled to a deposition assembly disposed across the substrate support.

A printing apparatus is provided with: a printing unit disposed at a position facing an outer circumferential surface of a can body and performing printing on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating can body; and a curing unit disposed on a side opposite to a side on which the printing unit is installed across the can body, and curing a print image formed on the outer circumferential surface by the printing unit. The printing unit performs printing on the outer circumferential surface using an inkjet head, and the curing unit is disposed on a side opposite to a side on which the inkjet head is installed across the can body.

An ink jet recording apparatus including an ink jet head for ejecting and attaching a radiation-curable ink jet composition to a recording medium and an irradiation unit for applying radiation to the recording medium to which the radiation-curable ink jet composition is attached under supply of an inert gas, wherein the irradiation unit has, successively in a transport direction of the recording medium, a nozzle face for ejecting the inert gas and an application face for applying radiation, and h1>h2, where h1 is a distance from the recording medium to the nozzle face and h2 is a distance from the recording medium to the application face.

An inkjet printing apparatus includes: an airflow stage extending in a first direction; a print head unit disposed above the airflow stage; and an electric field generating unit that moves in the first direction and generates electric field above the airflow stage.

A three-dimensional object printing device includes a head that ejects a liquid onto a three-dimensional workpiece and a robot that changes the position of the head relative to the three-dimensional workpiece. The robot has N number of joints that are pivotable about a plurality of pivot axes that differ from each other where N is a natural number of two or more. The three-dimensional object printing device executes a first print operation in which the head ejects the liquid to a first region on the workpiece while the robot changes the position of the head relative to the workpiece, the number of joints that pivot during the first print operation among the N number of joints is M (1≤M≤N), and at least one joint of the M number of joints does not pivot backward during the first print operation.

A printing apparatus includes a printing head configured to eject photocurable ink onto a medium, an irradiation portion configured to perform light irradiation of the medium, a mounting portion mounted with the irradiation portion and the printing head in the order from the irradiation portion to the printing head along a first direction, and a driving portion configured to move the mounting portion between a standby position where the printing head stands by and a stop position in the first direction with respect to the standby position. The stop position is a position where the irradiation portion faces the medium.

A printing apparatus that performs a first control of performing discharge of ultraviolet curable ink from a printing head and irradiation of ultraviolet rays from an ultraviolet irradiation unit while performing a first movement along a main scanning direction and a second movement along a sub scanning direction from a print start position side to a print end position side, and a second control of performing irradiation of ultraviolet rays from the ultraviolet irradiation unit without performing discharge of ultraviolet curable ink from the printing head while performing the first movement and the second movement from the print end position side to the print start position side, and in which a movement speed of the first movement in the second control is faster than a movement speed of the first movement in the first control.

An image-forming apparatus that can restrict reduction in the accuracy of image formation onto a recording material is provided. An image-forming apparatus includes an image-former that discharges ink to a conveyed recording material; a recording-material heating unit that is disposed in an upstream side of the image-former; a chassis that covers the recording-material heating unit; and a shielding member that is disposed between the chassis and the image-former and shields inflow of air, which is discharged from a recording-material outlet, into the image-former.

A printing device includes: a base; a printing platform, the printing platform being connected to the base; a printing bracket, the printing bracket being fixed on the base; and a printing head assembly, the printing head assembly being connected to the printing bracket and being arranged above the printing platform, and the printing head assembly including a bearing member, a discharging assembly and an optical assembly.
