  • Print head carriage assembly
    Patent number: 10272697
    Abstract: In a printer, a print head carriage assembly includes a carriage arranged to move in a main scanning direction relative to a recording medium; a plurality of print heads mounted on the carriage and arranged to apply a curable marking material onto the recording medium; and a number of curing devices mounted on the carriage and disposed in positions relative to the print heads such that each print head is associated with at least one of the curing devices. The at least one of the curing devices is disposed to follow its associated print head in a distance in the main scanning direction so as to cure the ink that has been applied with that print head. The print heads are arranged in at least two rows which extend in the main scanning direction and are staggered in a sub-scanning direction normal to the main scanning direction, and the print heads are grouped such that each print head in each row has, in each other row, a counterpart print head which belongs to the same group.
