Abstract (en)

The invention provides an inkjet printer assembly (100) for printing an image on a recording medium and a method for operating an inkjet printer assembly (100). The inkjet printer assembly (100) comprises individual UV-radiation-emitting lamps (21-i) arranged within the print swath of a print head (12). Each of the UV-radiation-emitting lamps (21-i) of the first set is individually and independently controllable to operate in at least three different lamp operation modes. The at least three lamp operation modes comprise an off-mode in which no UV radiation is emitted and at least two different radiation-emitting modes. Each radiation-emitting mode is characterized by a different intensity with which the UV radiation is emitted in that radiation-emitting mode.
