Patent ID: 10940707

Abstract:
A photo-curing inkjet printer includes a bed, a discharger, a light applicator, and a conveyor. The bed includes a printable region defined in advance. A substrate is placed on the bed. The discharger discharges photo-curable ink. The light applicator applies light. The conveyor conveys one of the bed and the discharger relative to the other one of the bed and the discharger in a conveyance direction. The discharger includes a row of nozzles aligned in the conveyance direction. The nozzles discharge the photo-curable ink. A length of the bed measured from a start end of the bed to a start end of the printable region is longer in the conveyance direction than a length calculated by subtracting a maximum pass width from a length of the row of nozzles of the discharger.
