More Information
Summary:A registration device for use in combination with an array of print head nozzles (12N) and operative to deposit ink on a substrate material (16). The registration device is operative to maintain a prescribed separation distance between an array of print head nozzles (12N) and a substrate material (16) during print operations and includes a registration surface (20S) which opposes a face surface of the substrate material and is textured to define a plurality of contact points (30). The contact points are substantially evenly distributed over, and engage, the face surface of the substrate material, to reduce the total surface area in contact with the substrate material and the particulate matter which may be shed from, and/or produced by frictional engagement with, the substrate material.
