Machine for printing substrates and method for printing substrates using said machine

A machine for printing substrates, comprising:

• a print head, the print head having at least one ejection nozzle for ejecting a product on the substrate;
• translation means with a movable part, the translation means configured to support and translate the substrate by means of the movable part;
• positioning means for establishing and fixing a relative position between the substrate and the print head;
• guiding means for guiding the movable part;
• holding means for fixing the substrate with respect to the movable part;
• wherein with the substrate being fixed to the movable part and the movable part guided by the guiding means, the substrate can be translated to receive the product being ejected,
• wherein the translation means comprise projections in the movable part to establish, by contact, the support and translation of the substrate, at least one end part of the substrate and at least one surface adjacent to the end part being free of contacts such that the print head is located in correspondence with a lower surface, an upper surface, and the end part joining the lower surface with the upper surface for ejecting the product onto the substrate.
