Problems solved by technology

And, as a result, for example, it is difficult to control the deviation of the landing position of the ink on the substrate.
Therefore, when using such a printed material, it is difficult to perform ink ejection appropriately on the concave portion and the convex portion respectively.

Embodiment Construction

[0045] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. figure 1 This is an example of the configuration of the printing system 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The printing system 10 is a printing system that performs inkjet printing on a substrate 50 and includes an inkjet printer 14 and a vacuum pump 16.

[0046] In addition, in this example, the printing system 10 prints a substrate 50 having unevenness on the surface to be printed. The substrate 50 having unevenness on the printed surface is, for example, a three-dimensional object. The three-dimensional object may be a three-dimensional product or packaging, for example. At this time, the printing system 10 prints, for example, the surface of a three-dimensional product or package. The substrate 50 may also be a three-dimensional molded object such as resin.

[0047] In addition, in the printing system 10, an inkjet printer 14 is installed in at least...

Abstract

The invention provides a printing system, inkjet printer, and printing method. It is an object to adequately print in the inkjet method relative to a medium having concavo-convex print surface. A printing system (10) for printing in the inkjet method comprises an inkjet head (102) having nozzles for ejecting ink to a medium (50) having concavo-convex print surface, and a vacuum pump (16) as a decompression means for reducing the pressure of at least an area between the medium (50) and the nozzles of the inkjet head (102).

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a printing system, an inkjet printer and a printing method Background technique [0002] In recent years, the technology of using inkjet printers to print high-definition images has been widely used. The inkjet printer prints by ejecting tiny droplets of ink from the nozzles of the inkjet head to the substrate. [0003] In addition, in recent years, it has been desired to use inkjet printers for printing on various substrates other than paper and film. For example, it has been desired to use an inkjet printer for printing on a substrate with irregularities on the printed surface such as a three-dimensional object. [0004] When using a substrate with unevenness, the following distances are different on the concave and convex portions of the printed surface of the substrate. The above-mentioned distance refers to the distance between the nozzle of the inkjet head and the substrate. Therefore, in such an inkjet printer, it is necessar...
