Abstract:
An ink jet printer system for printing upon a receiver medium:a receiver medium including a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, a porous structure of the receiver medium being between the first surface and the second surface, an image receiving layer being between the porous structure and the second surface; an ink jet printer for applying ink in a carrier liquid as an image to the first surface; a vacuum applying device operating to apply a vacuum to the second surface of the receiver medium at a location of the receiver medium directly opposite to a location where ink is applied by the ink jet printer to the first surface, the vacuum applying device being operative so as to cause the carrier liquid to be vacuumed away after passage through the porous structure of the receiver medium and to establish an image in the image receiving layer so that the image is established on the opposite side of the receiver medium from which the ink is deposited.
