SOLID INKJET DRUM MAINTENANCE UNIT (DMU) EMPLOYING ADJUSTABLE BLADE CAM IN ORDER TO CONTROL THE OIL RATE.

摘要

A printing device is configured to adjust the angle of a metering blade within a predetermined range of angles to compensate for wear in the blade over time or for other causes of inconsistency. The angle of the metering blade is selected by a controller which operates an actuator to move a moveable member to adjust the angle of the metering blade and regulate the thickness of a release agent layer on a moving imaging member.
