Ink jet printer |
摘要 |
An ink jet printer for printing on a substrate comprising a first print head outputting ink and defining an ink meniscus; a platen operable to carry the substrate; a support structure; and a print head mechanism coupled to the support structure and carrying the first print head. The print head mechanism moves the first print head relative to the platen. A controller controls the print head mechanism such that at least one of a predetermined acceleration and predetermined deceleration of the print head mechanism is achieved such that the ink meniscus is operably maintained. |

1. An ink jet printer for printing ink on a substrate, the ink jet printer comprising:
a print head comprising at least one nozzle for defining a meniscus of the ink and for outputting the ink during a printing operation wherein the ink is delivered to the substrate from the print head; a platen operable to carry the substrate; a support structure; a print head mechanism coupled to the support structure and carrying the print head, the print head mechanism for moving the print head relative to the platen; and a controller for controllably maintaining the print head mechanism in a stationary position to maintain the defined ink meniscus when the platen is moved for an operation that is associated with set up and maintenance. |
