System and method for generating high-quality image using water-based ink in printer

摘要

Problem to be solved: to provide a printer which generates a high quality image which can control the waterdrop of the ink droplets on the substrate after the ink droplet is discharged.The printer 10 includes at least a first printing head 50A and a second printing head 50B, each of which is operatively connected to a source 70 of an aqueous ink having a color different from that of the water-based ink connected to another printing head.A first infrared (IR) radiation source 66A is positioned between the first print head and the second print head, and the second IR radiation source 66b continues after the first and second print heads.The first IR radiation source is adjusted to heat only colored pigment particles in the aqueous ink connected to the first print head, and the second IR radiation source is adjusted to heat only colored pigment particles in the aqueous ink connected to the second print head.Diagram
