Abstract
An inkjet printing apparatus that performs printing by ejecting ink from an ink jet head onto a print medium includes a drying unit for drying a liquid which is contained in the print medium, a table on which the print medium is placed; and a gas flow generating unit for generating a gas flow in a space which is formed between the table and a surface of the print medium toward the side of the table.
Claims12
An inkjet printing apparatus that ejects ink from an inkjet head to a print medium to perform printing, comprising:
- a drying unit for drying a liquid which is contained in the print medium;
- a table on which the print medium is placed;
- a plurality of spaced apart support members raising the print medium above the table, forming a plurality of spaces between the table and a surface of the print medium facing the table;
- and
- a gas flow generating unit for blowing gas into the plurality of spaces.
An inkjet printing apparatus that ejects ink from an inkjet head to a print medium to perform printing, comprising:
- a drying unit for drying a liquid which is contained in the print medium;
- a table on which the print medium is placed;
- a gas flow generating unit for generating a gas flow in a space which is formed between the table and a surface of the print medium facing a side of the table;
- and
- a support member provided on the table to form the space;
- the support member being columnar, and a plurality of the columnar support members being provided along a direction perpendicular to the direction of the gas flow which is generated by the gas flow generating unit with intervals therebetween such that the gas flow can pass therethrough.
An inkjet printing apparatus that ejects ink from an inkjet head to a print medium to perform printing, comprising:
- a drying unit for drying a liquid which is contained in the print medium;
- a table on which the print medium is placed;
- a gas flow generating unit for generating a gas flow in a space which is formed between the table and a surface of the print medium facing a side of the table;
- a support member provided on the table to form the space;
- and
- an elevating mechanism for raising and lowering the support member;
- and wherein:
- the support member elevating mechanism raises the support member upward in the vertical direction during a gas flow generating operation of the gas flow generating unit to form the space, and lowers the support member downward in the vertical direction during a printing operation.
