PRINTING METHOD USING MOVING LIQUID CURTAIN CATCHER

摘要

A method of printing is includes providing liquid drops travelling along a first path using a jetting module. A moving liquid curtain is provided using a liquid source. Selected liquid drops are caused to deviate from the first path and begin travelling along a second path using a deflection mechanism such that the liquid drops travelling along one of the first path and the second path contact the liquid curtain in a drop interception region of the liquid curtain. The liquid curtain is collected downstream from the drop interception region using a liquid collection device.
