Abstract

A method for detaching a liquid lamella from a substrate edge is provided. A tear-off front is configured at at least one point of the liquid lamella. A width of the liquid lamella is then reduced by guiding the tear-off front along the substrate edge. Thus, the width of the liquid lamella prior to being torn off the substrate edge can be reduced by at least 50%, as compared to an original width of the liquid lamella.
