INK JET PRINTING ASSEMBLY

摘要

An ink jet printing assembly and method of use for printing on a substrate where the substrate is driven in a driving direction. The ink jet printing assembly includes a first jetting assembly (A) having a first ink orifice (A1) and a second ink orifice (A2) and a second jetting assembly (B) separate from the first jetting assembly (A) having a third ink orifice (B2). The third ink orifice (B2) is positioned between the first ink orifice (A1) and the second ink orifice (A2) in a cross substrate direction. A third jetting assembly (C), separate from the first (A) and second (B) jetting assemblies, includes a fourth ink orifice (C128). The fourth ink orifice (C128) is aligned with the first ink orifice (A1) in the cross substrate direction. The fourth ink orifice (C128) is fired in an alternating relationship with the first ink orifice (A1) to define a generally consistent line of ink capable of minimizing the appearance of banding.
