Abstract
A inkjet printer is described herein that has a substrate staging portion with a discontinuous gas float system comprising a plurality of gas float members separated by gaps. The gaps enable interoperation with an end effector to deposit and retrieve substrates on a gas cushion provided by the gas float members.
Claims20
An inkjet printer, comprising:
- a substrate support;
- a print assembly disposed at a first elevation across the substrate support;
- and
- a supply assembly spaced apart from the print assembly, connected to the print assembly, and disposed at a second elevation that is the same as the first elevation, or that is different from the first elevation by an amount selected to be compatible with pumping capacity of the supply assembly.

A inkjet printer, comprising:
- a substrate support having an input section and a print section;
- and
- a processing assembly comprising a support structure, a deposition section located in proximity to the print section of the substrate support, and a supply section spaced apart from the deposition section in a direction toward the input section of the substrate support, the processing assembly further comprising a processing head that extends from the deposition section to the supply section, the processing head having a printhead assembly located in the deposition section, a supply unit located in the supply section, and a conduit support connecting the printhead assembly with the supply assembly.
An inkjet printer, comprising:
- a substrate support;
- a print assembly disposed across the substrate support;
- a supply assembly spaced apart from the print assembly and configured with the print assembly to minimize a difference in elevation between the supply assembly and the print assembly;
- and
- a conduit support between the print assembly and the supply assembly.
