Abstract
A printing system is described herein. The printing system has a massive base disposed on a flotation support, a flotation substrate support disposed on the base, a print support comprising a printhead assembly support and an auxiliary support, a printhead assembly coupled to the printhead assembly support, and a printhead supply assembly coupled to the auxiliary support.
Claims20
A printing system, comprising:
- a print enclosure;
- a printhead supply assembly enclosure coupled to the print enclosure;
- an inkjet printer disposed within the print enclosure, the inkjet printer comprising:
- a massive base and a flotation substrate support disposed on the base;
- a printhead assembly support that extends across the flotation substrate support;
- and
- a printhead assembly coupled to the printhead assembly support;
- a printhead supply assembly disposed within the printhead supply assembly enclosure and coupled to an auxiliary support, the auxiliary support substantially parallel to the printhead assembly support;
- and
- a gas filtration and circulation unit disposed between, and in fluid communication with, the print enclosure and the printhead supply assembly enclosure to circulate gas within and between the print enclosure and the printhead supply assembly enclosure.
