Abstract
A receiver table () is provided for holding a receiver in a digital printer using a shuttle () carrying the printheads (), e.g. an ink-jet printer, which is divided in small table segments () of which height and orientation can be adjusted. By adjusting the segments () the table () can be deformed to obtain a constant receiver-printhead distance even if the guidance of the shuttle () has deviations or exhibits bending during shuttling. Table segments () are preferably mounted on a deformable table support (). The receiver-printhead 'throw distance' can be calibrated by measuring the distance profile and adjusting adjustments screws or bolts to align the table segments () to the ideal printing distance.
