Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0829368A2] A method is provided for using an ink jet printer to print on a textile substrate. One or more printheads are oriented to scan the width of the textile web at a bias angle. A different printhead can be used for each color ink, whereby the ink is projected across an air gap to the textile web during the scan. Arranging the multiple printheads for parallel scanning allows each printhead to scan a separate swath simultaneously. Additional scan widths can be left between printheads to allow for sufficient ink absorption or drying time prior to applying the next color. <IMAGE>
