  • Publication number: 20240100840
    Abstract: An inkjet printer includes: an inkjet head configured to eject ink to a print medium being conveyed; a mist collector including at least a suction port configured to suck air from a side of the inkjet head on which the print medium passes; and a controller configured to control the mist collector. A space on the side of the inkjet head on which the print medium passes is an open space in which nothing but the print medium passing is arranged within a prescribed distance from the inkjet head. The controller is configured to control the mist collector to perform a mist collection operation of sucking air containing ink mist via the suction port in a state where the print medium and the inkjet head are facing each other.

  • Patent number: 11592741
    Abstract: An imprinting method includes dispensing a first liquid on a first region of a substrate. The first liquid is a photocurable resist precursor. A second liquid is dispensed on a second region of the substrate. The second region is adjacent to and surrounding the first region. The second liquid is non-photocurable as dispensed. The first region is then irradiated with light while a patterned template is being pressed against the first liquid. The light cures the first liquid and forms a resist pattern corresponding to the patterned template. The patterned template and the substrate are then separated from each other. The second liquid is then selectively removed from the substrate while leaving the resist pattern on the substrate.

  • Publication number: 20210041782
    Abstract: An imprint template includes a substrate, a resin film, and a resist-repellant layer. The resin film is provided on the substrate and has an imprint pattern therein. The resist-repellant layer is provided on a surface of the imprint pattern. The resist-repellant layer includes an inorganic element. A method for manufacturing an imprint template includes pressing a substrate against a resin film that has been solidified in a mold having a pattern therein. The resin film having an imprint pattern corresponding to the pattern is thereby transferred to the substrate. A resist-repellant layer is then formed on a surface of the imprint pattern. The resist-repellant layer includes an inorganic element.
