Inkjet laser printing method and system

Abstract

In an inkjet laser printing system and method, the method includes: obtaining a printing instruction; moving a printing substrate in a printing area according to the printing instruction; moving an ink cartridge to a preset position relative to the printing area; controlling the ink cartridge to jet ink droplets to the printing substrate in the printing area; and conducting laser beam irradiation on the ink droplets in the printing area, to cure the ink droplets jetted on the surface of the printing substrate. Water-based ink and ink droplets are rapidly cured by means of a laser beam and melt into a plastic surface, and are applied to a plastic substrate for inkjet printing, so as to eliminate a previous restriction that oil-based ink is required for inkjet printing on plastics, and to reduce the ambient air pollution caused due to use of the oil-based ink.
