Abstract:
A device for patterning a plane substrate without a template, comprising at least one stationary printing station which applies a substance to the substrate as the substrate passes the printing station along a conveying path, each printing station being equipped with a dye-spraying head having a width corresponding to the width of the substrate to be printed and a dye-spraying head carrying device extending in a longitudinal direction of the printing station over the width of the substrate as well as transversely to a conveying direction thereof and carrying the dye-spraying head, characterized in that the dye-spraying head carrying device is part of a movable unit which is displaceable to a side along a set path in a direction transverse to the conveying direction of the substrate out of a first operating position, adopted in a patterning region of the substrate, into a second set-up and service position which at least partially releases the substrate.
