The discharge tray includes a loading surface provided at a predetermined first inclination angle with respect to a discharge direction of a sheet by the discharge roller pair so that a top of the sheet discharged by the discharge roller pair comes into contact with the loading surface, and a guide unit provided on the loading surface at a second inclination angle with respect to the loading surface so as to partially lift up the loaded sheet from the loading surface.
A method for producing printed matter that includes applying one of a first pretreatment liquid and a second pretreatment liquid, the other of the first pretreatment liquid and the second pretreatment liquid, and then an aqueous ink, in this order, to a recording region of a substrate using an inkjet recording apparatus, wherein the first pretreatment liquid and the second pretreatment liquid are jetted so as to land on the substrate in a fixed order, the first pretreatment liquid contains a coagulant, and the second pretreatment liquid does not contain a coagulant, but contains a penetrant.
A method for producing printed matter is disclosed that includes applying a pretreatment liquid containing a resin and a pretreatment liquid containing a coagulant to a substrate, and after the applying of these pretreatment liquids, applying an aqueous inkjet ink to the substrate using an inkjet system.
An agitation device includes: a first container configured to house a liquid; a second container configured to house the liquid transferred from the first container; a transfer agitation unit configured to selectively execute a transfer operation of transferring the liquid from the first container to the second container and an agitation operation of agitating the liquid in the second container by using a common drive source; and a controller configured to control the transfer agitation unit to alternately execute the transfer operation and the agitation operation upon transferring the liquid from the first container to the second container.
A transfer device includes: a first container including a bag portion configured to house liquid; a second container configured to house the liquid transferred from the first container; a transfer unit configured to transfer the liquid from the first container to the second container; and a controller configured to control the transfer unit to intermittently and repeatedly execute a transfer operation of starting transfer of the liquid and then completing the transfer before a side of the bag portion toward the transfer unit transitions to a suction contact state upon transferring the liquid from the first container to the second container.
B41J 2/005 - Typewriters or selective printing mechanisms characterised by the printing or marking process for which they are designed characterised by bringing liquid or particles selectively into contact with a printing material
A dust removal device for continuous paper improves operability and usability for a user. The continuous paper is continuously supplied in a rightward direction, then through guide rollers, the direction of the continuous paper is reversed leftward. A downward front surface of the continuous paper is cleaned with a first dust removal device. Further, a direction of the continuous paper is reversed with a guide roller rightward. A downward back surface of the continuous paper is cleaned with a second dust removal device, and is guided to the downstream side. The two dust removal devices are provided in a vertical positional relationship in space. Dust removed with a dust removing member falls to a dust receiving member and is stored in the dust receiving member. It is possible to easily dispose the dust by pulling out the dust removal device from a cleaning position to an outside detachment position.
An ink mist recovery device allows suction of ink mist with uniform suction force irrespective of a position on a confronting sheet. The ink mist recovery device includes a recovery casing having multiple suction ports confronting a sheet, and a suction unit connected to the recovery casing. At least one of a size of each of the suction ports and a first suction distance from each of the suction ports to a suction slit is set in accordance with a second suction distance from the suction unit to the suction slit via each of the suction ports so that the suction force is kept uniform at the respective positions on the sheet corresponding to the suction ports. The mist suction force is made uniform over the entire width of the suction slit to improve quality of the printed image without sucking ink droplets required to land.
A liquid agent mist recovery device for a liquid agent application device prevents dripping of a droplet formed from a sucked liquid agent mist onto a sheet. The ink mist recovery device installed downstream of an inkjet head includes a recovery casing with an opening for introducing the mist. The opening is communicated with a recovery hole connected to a suction fun, and positioned apart from an upstream wall surface by a distance corresponding to receiving portions for receiving a droplet trickling from the wall surface, and apart from a downstream wall surface so that air introduced from downstream obstructs the flow of the upstream liquid agent mist for guiding into the recovery hole. The liquid agent mist from upstream is securely introduced and recovered. The liquid agent mist trickling from the wall surface of the recovery hole is received by the receiving portion rather than dripping onto the sheet.
A tank includes a tank main body configured to house liquid and a lid configured to cover an upper side of the tank main body. The tank main body includes an atmosphere communication hole having an opening opened on an upper surface of the tank main body and a lowered step portion dug down from a periphery of the opening. The lid includes a recess formed on a lower surface of the lid and facing the opening.
A medium feeding apparatus includes: a feed tray on which media M are placed; a draw-out unit that draws out an uppermost medium among the media placed on the feed tray; a hanging member that hangs the feed tray; and a load member that applies, when an amount of the media placed on the feed tray is equal to or smaller than a predetermined amount, a downward load to a portion of the feed tray located on an upstream side in a draw-out direction of the media.
