Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for printing on a print medium is disclosed. The method includes providing a linehead defining one or more print zones and adapted to jet liquid onto the print medium. One or more vacuum transport rollers having a porous sleeve rotatable around a non-rotating core are also provided. At least one vacuum transport roller is disposed adjacent to the second side of the movable print medium, opposite the first linehead, and aligned with a print zone. The core includes a vacuum manifold that outputs a vacuum force that operates on the print medium through the porous sleeve. The print medium is moved through the printing system and a vacuum force deflects the print medium, causing an increase in a wrap angle of the print medium around the vacuum transport roller. Liquid is jetted from the linehead onto the print medium to form a print.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for printing on a movable print medium in a printing system, including: providing a first linehead defining one or more print zones, the first linehead adapted to jet liquid onto a first side of the movable print medium in the one or more print zones; providing one or more vacuum transport rollers having a porous sleeve rotatable around a non-rotating core, wherein the rotatable porous sleeve is engaged by the movable print medium that exert…
