Abstract (en)
A conveyance printing system and methods for printing articles of manufacture of different types and with different content is presented. Systems include a conveyance system configured to convey a plurality of trays, each having an associated identifier and each holding one or more articles of manufacture within the tray, and a printing system configured to receive a print tray from the conveyance system, receive a print job associated with the tray identifier, and print the associated print job simultaneously onto the respective print surfaces of the one or more articles of manufacture held by the tray. The system includes modular trays including interchangeable tray inlays configured to hold different types of articles of manufacture. The printer system also includes a height-adjustment mechanism to adjust the distance between the target print surfaces of the articles of manufacture on a tray and the print head nozzles.
