A method and apparatus for flattening a substrate against a surface of a platform is provided. The method comprising positioning guides within a platform so that opposite edges of a substrate placed on the platform do not come in contact with at least one print head in close proximity over the substrate.

Apparatus for flattening a substrate and method thereof

Apparatus and method for protecting print heads from uncontrolled movement and vibration is provided. The apparatus includes at least one print head, a movable component attachable to a flexible cable carrier, the flexible cable carrier being coupled to at least one print head, and an isolating component attachable to the movable component, for isolating uncontrolled movement and vibration of the flexible cable carrier from the at least one print head.

Apparatus and method for protecting printing heads

In some embodiments of the present invention, a method and apparatus for adjusting the height of a platform having a substrate thereon in order to adjust the distance between the substrate and an ink-jet print head located above is provided. In other embodiments, an apparatus for the step-wise conveyance of materials is provided. It comprises a support structure for the material being conveyed and movable and fixed elements for applying forces for temporarily engaging the conveyed material to the support structure.

Table and a motion unit for adjusting the height thereof

A vacuum suction force control apparatus is disclosed by way of a duct, having an entrance port and at least one exit port. Flow of suction force is controlled by moving a piston-like plunger inside the duct, connecting the entrance port to one, or simultaneously, multiple, adjacent exit ports. The present invention achieves known vacuum distribution without utilizing prior art electromechanical vacuum valves and associated electrical control cabling and power supply equipment. Therefore, the present invention is inherently capable of maintaining a particular, temporary distribution configuration without requiring electrical nor mechanical energy.

Vacuum distribution controller apparatus

In some embodiments of the present invention, an ink supply system is provided. The system may include a first stationary fluid storage unit, a second stationary fluid storage unit coupled to the first stationary fluid storage unit and an air lung. The system may also include a collapsible fluid level bag positionable lower than nozzles of one or more print heads and a movable fluid pressure damper coupled to the fluid level bag and to the print heads. The system is configured such that when printing, ink is exposed to the ambient atmosphere only at the nozzles.
