method for printing by means of a empfangsmaterials heissschmelztinte and inkjet printer which is appropriate for this method

摘要

The invention relates to a method of printing a receiving material (14) with hot melt ink comprising: heating the ink to above a temperature at which it is liquid, imagewise transfer of the liquid ink to an intermediate element (1) using an inkjet printhead (4,5,6,7), the intermediate element (1) having a surface containing an elastomer with a surface tension of which the polar part is less than or equal to 20 mN/m, bringing the receiving material (14) into contact with the intermediate element (1) in such manner that the ink transfers from the intermediate element (1) to the receiving material (14), wherein the elastomer used has a hardness less than 80 Shore A, has a thermal conductivity coefficient greater than 0.15 W/mK, has an ink absorption less than 10%, and has a tan delta less than 0.3.
