Patent number: 8950854Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a multicolored surface on a ceramic element or glass by means of the drop-like application of variously colored primary ceramic process color inks containing a carrier fluid onto at least one portion of a surface of the ceramic element or glass, wherein mixed colors are produced by printing on top of one another at least two primary process color inks, and the subsequent firing of the applied ink drops. At least one (photo)oligomerizable or (photo)polymerizable additive is added to the primary ceramic process color inks. Prior to printing over an ink drop with another ink drop the ink drop is hardened at least partly or its viscosity is increased.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2011Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: Durst Phototechnik Digital Technology GmbHInventor: Peter Weingartner

Publication number: 20150029262Abstract: Method and device for printing the surface of a medium with an inkjet printer by performing several printing cycles. The printer includes a printing module with a printhead having a row of nozzles. A printing cycle includes: a) positioning and aligning the printing module prior to printing, wherein the alignment is performed by rotation of the printing module around a rotation axis that is perpendicular on the part of the surface to be printed, and b) positioning the rotation axis during printing. The positioning process in steps b) includes translation of the rotation axis and defines a direction of travel. The printing module is aligned in step a) by rotation around the axis so that the row of nozzles has in step b) a predetermined and preferably constant angle in respect of the direction of travel. A predetermined workflow of printing cycles is different from a scanning technique.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2012Publication date: January 29, 2015Inventor: Peter Weingartner
