High throughput inkjet printing system

A method for printing with a fluid from at least one individual printhead of an inkjet printing system onto a first sheet of receiver medium held on a printing cylinder of said inkjet printing system, said method comprising the steps of

• a. in-line de-gassing of said fluid and
• b. rotating said printing cylinder at one of a constant and a varying speed while simultaneously performing more than one of the actions of
• i. loading a second sheet of receiver medium onto said printing cylinder,
• ii. unloading a third sheet of receiver medium from said printing cylinder and
• iii. ejecting droplets of said fluid from said at least one individual printhead onto at least one of said first sheet of receiver medium and a sheet of receiver medium previously loaded onto said printing cylinder.

An inkjet printing system for printing with de-gassed fluid on at least one sheet of receiver medium, said apparatus comprising

• a. a printing media carrier capable of holding to at least one of its surfaces at least one sheet of receiver medium,
• b. at least one individual printhead disposed to eject fluid droplets imagewise onto said at least one sheet of receiver medium while said at least one sheet of receiver medium is held on said printing media carrier and moved with respect to said at least one individual printhead,
• c. a fluid de-gassing unit capable of supplying de-gassed fluid to said at least one individual printhead via a de-gassed fluid supply conduit,
• d. a receiver medium loading unit capable of loading at least one sheet of receiver medium onto said printing media carrier while said printing media carrier is moved at one of a constant and a varying speed and
• e. a receiver medium unloading unit capable of unloading at least one sheet of receiver medium from said printing media carrier while said printing media carrier is moved at one of a constant and a varying speed,
• f. said receiver medium unloading unit, said receiver medium loading unit and said at least one individual printhead being disposed proximate said printing media carrier.
