Abstract

Druckeinrichtung, insbesondere für eine Frankiermaschine, mit einem Druckkopf (103), der nach dem Tintenstrahlprinzip arbeitet, und einer Absaugeinrichtung (109) zum Absaugen von Tintennebel, der beim Ausstoß von Tintentropfen (106) aus wenigstens einer Düse (103.1) des Druckkopfes (103) entsteht, wobei die Absaugeinrichtung (109) einen Saugeinlass (109.1) aufweist, der zumindest in einem ersten Betriebszustand des Druckkopfes (103), in dem der Druckkopf (103) Tintentropfen aus der wenigstens einen Düse (103.1) ausstößt, der wenigstens einen Düse (103.1) derart unmittelbar benachbart angeordnet ist, dass zwischen der wenigstens einen Düse (103.1) und dem Saugeinlass (109.1) eine im Wesentlichen ungestörte Saugströmung (109.4) einstellbar ist .

Figure imgaf001
Printing device, in particular for a franking machine, having a printhead (103) which works according to the ink-jet principle, and a suction device (109) for extracting ink mist which is ejected from ink nozzles (106) from at least one nozzle (103.1) of the printhead (103 ), wherein the suction device (109) has a suction inlet (109.1) which, at least in a first operating state of the print head (103), in which the print head (103) ejects ink droplets from the at least one nozzle (103.1), the at least one nozzle (103.1) is arranged so immediately adjacent, that between the at least one nozzle (103.1) and the suction inlet (109.1) is a substantially undisturbed suction flow (109.4) is adjustable.
