Abstract
The invention relates to an endless transport belt for receiving ink, not ejected for printing purposes, of an inkjet printer; said transport belt receiving the ink sprayed thereon during printing of printing material in such a manner that smearing on the back side of the paper is prevented. For this purpose, the transport belt comprises a carrier layer and a support layer for supporting and printing printing materials of differing widths and lengths by means of an inkjet print head, the support layer according to the present invention having a knobbed grid structure with a hydrophobic and ink-rejecting coating.
