Abstract (en)
In the method, the media is fed once through an inkjet printer (1); the method comprises the steps of: a) feeding a web of removable stiffening backing (6;16) to the printer; b) applying the media (5) on said removable stiffening backing (6;16) web immediately prior to printing; and c) printing on said media, on the side opposite to the backing. The media backing apparatus (4;14) is attached or incorporated to an inkjet printer (1) and comprises means (4a;14a) for applying a stiffening backing (6;16) to the media at the media inlet of the printer. The invention allows to print any desired media, such as fabric, in an inkjet printer, avoiding the problems arising from wrinkles or deformations of the media. <IMAGE>
