Abstract:
A printer includes a substrate and at least one print head. The at least one print head is movable in a print direction. The print head includes an ink jet dispenser configured to jet UV-curable ink toward the substrate in a target region. The at least one print head further includes a UV curing system behind the ink jet dispenser in a following direction opposite the print direction. The UV curing system is configured to emit UV irradiance in a radiation field that covers the target region and provides sufficient intensity to at least pin the UV-curable ink in the target region.

Abstract:
A printer includes a substrate and a print head. The print head is movable in a print direction. The print head includes an ink jet dispenser configured to jet ink toward the substrate. The print head further includes a UV source coupled to the ink jet dispenser in a following direction. The UV source is configured to emit UV irradiance. The plurality of mirrors are coupled to the UV source and configured to deflect UV irradiance from the UV source in a direction perpendicular to the print direction.
