Abstract:
1. A method for inscribing a substrate with an inkjet printer using a light-curing ink, the printer including a carriage configured to traverse between a first end position and a second end position, a print head and an illumination head disposed on the carriage, and a transport apparatus configured to move the substrate linewise, the method comprising: traversing, by the carriage, to the first end position at a first travel speed; spraying-on the light-curing ink along an inscription row onto the substrate using the print head during the traversing to the first end position; irradiating, for curing, the sprayed-on ink using the illumination head during the traversing to the first end position; traversing, by the carriage, from the first end position to the second end position along the inscription row at a second travel speed, the second travel speed being lower than the first travel speed, the print head being inactive during the traversing to the second end position; irradiating the sprayed-on ink using the illumination head during the traversing to the second end position; and then advancing the substrate using the transport apparatus.
