METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RADIATION CURING OF INK USED IN INKJET PRINTING
Application 1334/CHENP/2004 published 2007-07-27, filed 2004-06-16
Inkjet printing apparatus includes a print head for directing radiation curable ink onto a substrate and a curing device for directing radiation along a path toward ink received on the substrate. The apparatus includes a shield and a mechanism for selectively moving the shield into and out of the path of radiation. Control of movement of the shield enables the intensity of radiation received on the substrate to be varied to ensure that the substrate does not overheat during a curing operation.
