Abstract
A printing system comprises a sub-frame (), a print module () with printheads (), a first support unit () that is connected to the sub-frame (), in particular movable in a displacement direction (z) relative to the sub-frame, a substrate holder () for supporting a substrate (), and a positioning mechanism for moving the print module relative to the first support unit to and from a print position. A set of positioning parts (-) and positioning references (-) is provided that form part of or are connected to the print module () respectively the sub-frame (). The positioning parts (-) are engageable with corresponding ones of the positioning references (-) for aligning the print module () relative to the sub-frame () when moved into its print position. The positioning mechanism comprises one or more four-bar linkage mechanisms () acting between the print module () and the first support unit ().
