Abstract
This invention relates to a continuous multicolor ink jet press comprising a substrate driven by a motor and passing under at least one print head associated with a sensor and supplied by an ink circuit, a synchronization circuit, connected to a process controller and a position encoder placed on the substrate drive motor transmitting a signal to the synchronization circuit, this encoder being a high resolution position encoder. A printing system is located upstream of the printheads and which prints marks regularly on the substrate. These marks are detected by the sensor associated with the printheads.
