Digital printing machine

A printing machine for printing on textiles comprising:

• a rigid frame;
• a first linear motion X axis stage mounted on said frame;
• a second linear X axis stage mounted on said frame alongside said first linear axis stage for parallel and independent side by side X axis motion;
• a printing table assembly configured to move back and forth on said linear X axis stage;
• a linear motion Y axis stage mounted on said flame perpendicular to said linear X axis stages, above said printing table assembly;
• an array of inkjet nozzles for applying ink on a textile media loaded on said printing table assembly, said array of inkjet nozzles being mounted on said linear Y axis stage for linear motion perpendicular to said X axis stages;
• a curing unit located above said printing table assembly and arranged to cure ink on said textile media on said printing assembly;
• and an ironing unit located above said printing table assembly and arranged to iron said textile media on said priming assembly before printing thereon;
• wherein during said applying said printing table assembly passes by said array of inkjet nozzles in said back and forth movements and said array of inkjet nozzles is substantially static on said linear Y axis and wherein said array of inkjet nozzles is configured to move from applying ink on a first of said printing table assemblies to applying ink on a second of said printing table assemblies, such that downtime for loading textiles onto one of said printing table assemblies is utilized by said applying ink onto a second of said printing table assemblies.

A printing machine for printing on textiles, comprising:

• a rigid frame;
• a linear motion X axis stage base mounted on said frame;
• a first printing table assembly configured to move back and forth on said linear X axis stage base;
• a second printing table assembly configured to move back and forth on said linear X axis stage base alongside said first printing table assembly and independently of said first printing table assembly;
• a linear motion Y axis stage mounted on said frame perpendicular to said linear X axis stages, above said printing table assemblies;
• and
• an array of inkjet nozzles for applying ink on a textile media loaded on said printing table assembly, said array of inkjet nozzles being mounted on said linear Y axis stage for linear motion perpendicular to said X axis stage;
