Abstract
An inkjet printing device includes a transport system for transporting a rigid multilayered substrate in a print direction and a support plane; a dryer, attached to a first gantry which is positioned over the transport system and perpendicular to the print direction, for immobilizing a jetted ink layer in a drying zone; and a push down mechanism for the rigid multilayered substrate against the transport system, arranged at least in the drying zone. The push down mechanism includes a bar which is positioned parallel and elongated to the print direction and mounted parallel to the support plane above the transport system. The bar is maintained on a second and third gantry by a maintainer on each gantry and positioned over the transport system at each side of the first gantry and perpendicular to the print direction. The push down mechanism includes a bender for pushing a portion from the bar at the push down side with an angle towards the transport system in a plane, perpendicular to the support plane and parallel to the print direction.
