Definitions

  • a vacuum source 40 In place of directing a gasflow at the drops to sup press spatter, a vacuum source 40 is employed. Paper, has-a certain degree of porosity so that the vacuum ap? plied to the back of the paper 30, employing avacuum source 40, will cause the drops to remain intact and not spatter.
  • the vacuum source 40 applies a vacuum by means of aduct42, to theregionof the paper 30 at which printing occurs.
  • a porous plate 44 supports the previously, spatter occurs when the energy of the eddy and is maintained flat.
