Abstract
Manufacturing decorative panels by using a web-fed inkjet printer. During the feeding of the to-be-printed substrate, the tension of the substrate is controlled by a dancer unit () which includes a dancer roll (), having a connector () on both side ends of said roll, and wherein both connectors () are connected to a pair of parallel guiders () for floating said roll along a floating path (); and wherein the step of controlling comprises the step of moving one guider () of said pair of guiders () parallel to said floating path () whereby the dancer roll () is tilted.
