Abstract: A coating method by which the speed of coating can be improved remarkably regardless of the number of polar groups on the surface of a web and irrespective of the properties of material for the web. A coating solution flowing out of a liquid injector is applied to a web supported by a coating backup roller. A high frequency signal from a master oscillator is amplified and applied to a vibrator. Ultrasonic waves generated in the vibrator are guided by a horn to be radiated to the contact line between the coating solution and the web. With the invention it is possible to prevent a coating solution from being intermittently applied to a web, and it is also possible to increase the coating limit speed, for example, by 5 to 26%. In addition, lateral stair-stepped unevenness of thickness is not produced in the coating layer.

Abstract: A color ink-jet printer (50) having a heating blower system for evaporating ink carriers from the print medium after ink-jet printing. A preheat drive roller (62) engages the medium and draws it to a print zone (56). The drive roller is heated and preheats the medium before it reaches the print zone. At the print zone, a print heater (72) heats the underside of the medium via radiant and convective heat transfer through an opening pattern formed in a print zone heater screen (66). The amount of heat energy is variable, depending on the type of the print medium. A crossflow fan (90) at the exit side of the print zone (56) directs an airflow at the print zone in order to cause turbulence at the medium surface being printed and further accelerate evaporation of the ink carriers from the medium. An exhaust fan (82) and duct system (80) exhausts air and ink carrier vapor away from the print zone and out of the printer housing.
