A vacuum table for holding print media while printing, comprising:

• a bottom plate;
• a medium support surface spaced apart from the bottom plate and comprising a plurality of vacuum holes;
• and
• a spacer array comprising at least one monolithic spacer structure which is formed as a single piece, the at least monolithic spacer structure comprising:
• a first and a second longitudinal plate positioned between the bottom plate and the medium support surface, wherein the first and second longitudinal plates comprise:
• a plurality of air flow through-holes;
• and
• a top support edge and a bottom support edge formed by lateral sides of the first and the second longitudinal plates and extending equidistantly with respect to one another, such that a top support plane for the medium support surface is defined by the top support edges of the first and the second longitudinal plates and such that a bottom support plane for the bottom plate is defined by the bottom support edges of the first and the second longitudinal plate;
• and
• a connection element positioned between the first longitudinal plate and the second longitudinal plate when viewed parallel to the top and/or bottom support plane, which connection element connects the first longitudinal plate and the second longitudinal plate to one another, such that the connection element is positioned between the bottom support plane and the top support plane when viewed perpendicular to the top and/or bottom support plane.
