Abstract

Die Vorrichtung zum Transport und zum Bedrucken von Druckträgern weist eine geneigte Führungsplatte (2) und ein Transportmittel (1) orthogonal zu dieser Führungsplatte (2) sowie eine Hilfsvorrichtung auf. Ein durch eine Steuerung (40) gesteuerter Tintenstrahldruckkopf (4) ist in einer Ausnehmung (21) der Führungsplatte (2) während des Druckens fest angeordnet. Die Ausnehmung (21) ist so gestaltet, daß der Druckträger (3) stromabwärts mit dem aufgedruckten Bereich freiliegt. Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, daß der mit dem Transportmittel (1) transportierte Druckträger (3) klemmungsfrei an einer Hilfsvorrichtung anliegt, welche eine ansteigende Führung aufweist und einen definierten Schlupf senkrecht auf die Transportmitteloberfläche zuläßt. Unabhängig von der Neigung der Standfläche der Maschine erfolgt für stehend oder liegend transportierte Druckträger (3) ein berührungsloser Druck mittels des Tintendruckkopfes (4) mit hoher Druckqualität. Eine Anlegehilfsvorrichtung (30) ist zur Adaption des Neigungswinkels α der Führungsplatte (2) vorangestellt. The device for transporting and printing on print media has an inclined guide plate (2) and a means of transport (1) orthogonal to this guide plate (2) and an auxiliary device. An inkjet print head (4) controlled by a controller (40) is fixedly arranged in a recess (21) in the guide plate (2) during printing. The recess (21) is designed such that the print carrier (3) is exposed downstream with the printed area. According to the invention, the pressure carrier (3) transported by the transport means (1) bears without jamming against an auxiliary device which has an increasing guide and allows a defined slip perpendicular to the surface of the transport means. Regardless of the inclination of the machine's footprint, non-contact printing is carried out with the ink print head (4) with high print quality for print carriers (3) transported upright or lying down. A support device (30) is placed in front of the guide plate (2) to adapt the angle of inclination α.
