Abstract
An inkjet printing method using an inkjet printing device including a vacuum support for a substrate held down against a support surface of the vacuum support by air suction includes a step of jetting a set of layers with a set of liquids on the support surface to form a pattern with a surface roughness between 2.0 μm and 200.0 μm and rougher than the surface roughness of the support surface, and a step of supporting the substrate at least partially on the pattern.
Claims16
An inkjet printing method using an inkjet printing device including a vacuum support to hold a substrate on a support surface by air suction, the method comprising the steps of:
- jetting a plurality of layers with a set of liquids on the support surface to define a pattern having a surface roughness between 2.0 μm and 200.0 μm and rougher than a surface roughness of the support surface;
- and
- supporting the substrate at least partially on the pattern;
- wherein
- the substrate is a heat-sensitive substrate which loses structural integrity above a temperature of 35° C.
