<p>Printing apparatus comprising a rotary member (1), having an array of formations (6), each defining a respective liquid accumulation site, liquid feeding means (10) for feeding liquid to the member (1) to form corresponding accumulations of liquid at said accumulation sites, release means (14) for causing droplets (16) to be selectively released from the sites, as the member (1) rotates, to form a predetermined pattern on a substrate (18), wherein the surface (3) of the member (1) separating the sites is wettable by the liquid applied by the liquid feeding means (10) to enable the formation of a film of liquid from which liquid is drawn to the accumulation sites. The apparatus may include receiving means (12) for receiving excess liquid applied to the rotary member (1) by the liquid feeding means (10), before the formations pass the droplet release means (14). Also a method of printing using such printing apparatus.</p> |
