摘要： A printer drum includes a leading edge assembly for holding a first end of a substrate, and a trailing edge assembly for holding a second end of the substrate. The leading edge assembly includes a first plurality of interconnected disks, and the trailing edge assembly includes a second plurality of interconnected disks. The disks of the two assemblies are interleaved such that the disks of the trailing edge assembly are rotatable relative to the disks of the leading edge assembly about the axis of rotation of the drum. A balancing disk is interleaved with the disks. A leading edge clamp interconnects the first plurality of disks, and a trailing edge clamp interconnects the second plurality of disks. A plurality of registration pins of the leading edge clamp selectively engage a substrate held by the clamp.

摘要： A continuous jet printer includes a mixer defining a first fluid inlet for receiving a first fluid, a second fluid inlet for receiving a second fluid, and a fluid outlet. The mixer mixes the first and second fluids to produce a printing fluid. A fluid source is in fluid communication with the inlets for delivering the fluids. A jet nozzle in fluid communication with the mixer delivers drops of the printing fluid to a substrate. The fluid source delivers the fluids to the inlets at an operating pressure of the jet nozzle. A method of printing includes mixing the fluids at an operating pressure of the jet nozzle to produce a printing fluid. The printing fluid is delivered to an inlet of the jet nozzle at the operating pressure of the jet nozzle, and a substrate is printed with drops of the printing fluid exiting the jet nozzle.

摘要翻译： 连续喷墨打印机包括限定用于接收第一流体的第一流体入口的混合器，用于接收第二流体的第二流体入口和流体出口。 混合器混合第一和第二流体以产生印刷液。 流体源与用于输送流体的入口流体连通。 与混合器流体连通的喷嘴将打印流体的液滴输送到基底。 流体源在喷嘴的操作压力下将流体输送到入口。 打印方法包括在喷嘴的操作压力下混合流体以产生印刷液。 打印流体在喷嘴的操作压力下被输送到喷嘴的入口，并且印刷有从喷嘴喷射出的打印流体的液滴。
