There is provided an ink jet recording apparatus that can correct bending of an ink jet head with a compact structure. First supporting frames 122 that support ink jet heads 110C, 110M, 110Y, and 110K and second supporting frames 170 that support a part of ink supply sections supplying ink to the ink jet heads 110C, 110M, 110Y, and 110K are mounted on a mount 300. The first supporting frames 122 are mounted on the mount 300 while both end portions of the first supporting frames 122 in a longitudinal direction are supported. Each of the second supporting frames 170 is provided with a bending correction mechanism 340 that applies a pressing force to the first supporting frame 122 to correct the bending of the first supporting frame 122.

A digital printing machine includes a printing bar for inkjet printing. The printing bar is mounted to be movable into a working position and into a retracted position. An adjustable roll and a spring-mounted roll form a first assembly and are disposed opposite one another. A rail forms a second assembly and is located between the adjustable roll and the spring-mounted roll when the printing bar is in the working position and is not located between the adjustable roll and the spring-mounted roll when the printing bar is in the retracted position. One of the two assemblies is disposed on the printing bar and the other of the two assemblies is separate from the printing bar.

An assembly is provided for moving a carriage, the assembly comprising a carriage beam arranged for supporting the carriage, which is moveably arranged along the carriage beam, a cable carrier for supporting a cable, the cable carrier being attached to the carriage and comprising a plurality of carrier segments distributed along a length of the cable carrier, and a flexible support element arranged along the carriage beam for supporting the cable carrier along a track.

An assembly of a large format media handling system comprises a planar cross structure, and a support structure, the support structure including two side supports, wherein the two side supports extend perpendicularly to the cross structure and are connected to the cross structure at respective side edges of the side supports. A tensioning component is associated with each of the side supports, wherein the tensioning component transmits a tensioning force between the cross structure and the side edges of the side supports in a direction parallel to the side supports.

An assembly of a large format media handling system, including a planar longitudinal cross structure; and a support structure, the support structure including two side supports comprising a number of fixed references and at least one adjustable reference, wherein the side supports are supported by the longitudinal cross structure at said references; wherein the at least one adjustable reference is formed by a wedge element slidably attached to the support structure; and the side supports are fixed to the planar longitudinal cross structure wherein the cross structure is in contact with all of the references.
