Claims (8)

  1. Dispositif d'enregistrement à jet d'encre (1) comprenant :
    un chariot (4) qui peut se déplacer avec un mouvement alternatif suivant une direction de balayage principale (S) ;
    des moyens d'éjection d'encre (5a à 5f) montés sur le chariot et comportant une pluralité d'injecteurs d'encre (8) qui éjectent des encres pouvant durcir sous rayonnement ultra-violet sur un support d'enregistrement (M) et sont agencés de manière à s'étendre dans une direction de balayage secondaire ;
    un moyen d'application de rayonnement ultra-violet (6) monté sur le chariot et agencé de manière à s'étendre dans une direction de balayage secondaire, afin d'appliquer un rayonnement ultra-violet sur le support d'enregistrement, le moyen d'application de rayonnement ultra-violet (6) est disposé sur l'un ou l'autre ou les deux côtés arrière des moyens d'éjection d'encre (5a à 5f) dans la direction de balayage principale (S), et
    une unité de commande (7) qui commande les moyens d'éjection d'encre et le moyen d'application de rayonnement ultra-violet, dans lequel
    le chariot ou le support d'enregistrement est déplacé dans la direction de balayage secondaire (F) perpendiculairement à la direction de balayage principale (S),
    le dispositif d'enregistrement à jet d'encre comporte, en outre, un moyen d'aspiration d'air (12) destiné à aspirer de l'air du côté de support d'enregistrement ou un moyen de soufflage destiné à souffler un gaz vers le côté de support d'enregistrement,
    caractérisé en ce que :
    les injecteurs d'encre (8) sont divisés en une pluralité de zones de passage (A1, A2), chacune d'elle étant encore divisée en une pluralité de zones d'éjection (A1-a à A2-b), chacune desdites zones d'éjection peut enregistrer une bande sur le support d'enregistrement,
    le moyen d'application de rayonnement ultra-violet comporte une pluralité de source de lumière (63) appliquant des rayons ultra-violets, le moyen d'application de rayonnement ultra-violet étant divisé en une pluralité de zones de telle sorte que chaque zone correspond respectivement à chaque zone d'éjection de l'injecteur d'encre dans la direction de balayage secondaire, et
    l'unité de commande (7) commande la mise en service et hors service de la source de lumière pour chaque zone du moyen d'application de rayonnement ultra-violet.
  2. Dispositif d'enregistrement à jet d'encre selon la revendication 1, dans lequel le moyen d'aspiration d'air est disposé au niveau d'une extrémité avant ou d'une extrémité arrière du chariot dans la direction du balayage.
  3. Dispositif d'enregistrement à jet d'encre selon la revendication 1 ou 2, dans lequel le moyen de soufflage est disposé au niveau d'une extrémité avant ou d'une extrémité arrière du chariot dans la direction de balayage et souffle un gaz dans une direction perpendiculaire à la direction du balayage.
  4. Dispositif d'enregistrement à jet d'encre selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 3, dans lequel le moyen de soufflage est disposé au niveau d'une extrémité avant du chariot dans la direction de balayage et souffle un gaz vers un côté avant dans la direction de balayage.
  5. Dispositif d'enregistrement à jet d'encre selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 4, dans lequel le moyen d'application de rayonnement ultra-violet (6) est disposé sur les deux côtés arrière des moyens d'éjection d'encre (5a à 5f) dans la direction de balayage principale (S).
  6. Dispositif d'enregistrement à jet d'encre selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 5,
    le moyen d'application de rayonnement ultra-violet comprenant une pluralité de plaques de séparation (64) qui sont réalisées en une forme de plaque qui se dressent verticalement et s'étendent dans la direction de balayage principale (S) d'une manière à commander l'application de rayonnement ultra-violet dans la direction de balayage secondaire (F).
  7. Procédé d'impression utilisant le dispositif d'enregistrement à jet d'encre selon l'une quelconque des revendications 1 à 6, dans lequel la source de lumière appliquant un rayonnement ultra-violet sur la bande à l'endroit où est située la zone d'éjection destinée à éjecter des encres pouvant durcir sous rayonnement ultra-violet transmettant la lumière est mise hors service, et les encres pouvant durcir sous rayonnement ultra-violet transmettant la lumière sont enregistrées sur un support d'enregistrement, le procédé comprenant :
    une étape d'activation de la source de lumière appliquant un rayonnement ultraviolet sur la bande à l'endroit où est située une zone d'éjection disposée davantage vers un côté amont du chariot ou du support d'enregistrement dans la direction de balayage secondaire que la zone d'éjection destinée à éjecter les encres pouvant durcir sous rayonnement ultra-violet transmettant la lumière, de manière à durcir les encres pouvant durcir sous rayonnement ultra-violet enregistrées sur le support d'enregistrement au cours de balayages consécutifs ; et
    une étape d'aspiration d'air du côté support d'enregistrement en activant le moyen d'aspiration d'air ou une étape de soufflage d'un gaz vers le côté de support d'enregistrement par activation du moyen de soufflage avant, pendant, ou après éjection des encres pouvant durcir sous rayonnement ultra-violet.
  8. Procédé d'impression selon la revendication 7, dans lequel la source de lumière est activée ce qui applique un rayonnement ultra-violet sur la bande à l'endroit où est située une zone d'éjection disposée sur un côté amont dans la direction de balayage secondaire de manière à être adjacente à la zone d'éjection destinée à éjecter les encres pouvant durcir sous rayonnement ultra-violet transmettant la lumière, de telle sorte qu'un rayonnement ultra-violet est appliqué sur les encres pouvant durcir sous rayonnement ultra-violet, et une quantité de rayonnement ultra-violet appliquée à partir de la source de lumière disposée sur un côté aval dans la direction de balayage secondaire est inférieure à une quantité de rayonnement ultra-violet appliquée à partir de la source de lumière disposée sur un côté amont dans la direction de balayage secondaire.
