Apparatus for fixing a radiation-curable gel-ink image on a substrate

摘要

An apparatus fixes ink on a substrate (S), such as in ink-jet printing. A leveling member (10,12) is positioned to contact an ink-bearing side of the substrate at a nip. A radiation source (30) is positioned to direct radiation to the ink-bearing side of the substrate at the nip, the radiation suitable for curing the ink (I) on the substrate.
