Abstract
Printing, depositing, or coating on a flowable substrate can include extruding a flowable non-food substrate on a support, and jetting fluid to form an image on the flowable substrate.
Claims34
A method of printing, depositing, or coating on a flowable substrate comprising:
- extruding a flowable non-food substrate on a support;
- and
- jetting fluid to form an image on the flowable substrate.
A method of printing, depositing, or coating comprising:
- depositing a layer of a flowable non-food substrate on an article;
- and
- jetting fluid to form a pattern on the flowable substrate layer.
A method of printing, depositing, or coating comprising:
- applying powder on a surface of a support;
- jetting fluid on the powder on the support;
- and
- causing the powder to flow and coat the surface of the support.
1 more element
A system for jetting fluid on a flowable non-food substrate, comprising:
- an ink jet printer to jet fluid on a substrate in a pattern;
- a support for a flowable non-food substrate adjacent to the ink jet printer so that the ink jet printer can jet fluid on the flowable substrate;
- and
- an extruder configured to extrude the flowable substrate onto the support upstream from the ink jet printer.
1 more element
A system for depositing jetting fluid on a powdered surface of a substrate, comprising:
- an ink jet printer to jet fluid on a substrate in a pattern;
- a support for a substrate adjacent to the ink jet printer so that the ink jet printer can jet fluid on the substrate;
- and
- a station for dispensing powder on a surface of the substrate upstream from the ink jet printer.
