A method of surface pre-treatment of a variety of ink-receiving substrates of different types includes applying treatment energy to the surface of the substrates in a controlled atmosphere that contains nitrogen and oxygen. The amount of energy per surface area is adjusted dependent upon the type of substrate. The ratio of oxygen to nitrogen in the controlled atmosphere is adjusted dependent upon the type of substrate.
