METHOD FOR FORMING AN INKJET IMAGE

摘要

The present invention relates to a printer for forming an inkjet image having an advance mechanism for a print substrate. The printer comprises an advance mechanism for moving a print substrate in a transport direction. The advance mechanism comprises a feed roller engaging the print substrate on a first surface of the print substrate for applying a driving force thereto and a pressure roller, being arranged opposite to the feed roller. The pressure roller has a textured outer surface which texture is in operation in rolling contact with a second surface of the print substrate. The texture of the outer surface is provided with a plurality of protrusions. The pressure roller of the present invention diminishes print artifacts, which are related to an irregular crystallization of the hotmelt ink.
