Abstract: A printer includes a convex printing bed that is configured to hold a medium. A printer carriage is operable to swipe back and forth across the medium along a linear axis. A set of printing heads jet ink on the medium. The set of printing heads is secured to and moved along the linear axis by the carriage. At least two rails support the print carriage and to guide the print carriage along the linear axis as the carriage swipes back and forth across the medium. The shape of the convex bed generates tension across the medium such that an increase in width of the medium, due to swelling of the medium when printed, is pulled to the sides by the shape of the convex bed to limit creasing and bulging of the medium.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a wide format single pass printing apparatus. The printing apparatus can include multiple print housings configured to receive print beams with print heads configured to print onto a substrate. The print housings can be horizontally adjacent to one another relative to a horizontal plane. The print housings can also be oriented opposite to one another. The print beams can be inserted and/or removed from each print housing from opposing ends, allowing for greater ease of access to the print beams.
