Abstract
An ink-jet applicator comprises a print head including a housing; a guide operably secured to the housing to guide the housing across a medium being imprinted; a UV light source disposed at one end of the guide to generate a beam of radiation; and a mirror carried by the housing adapted to reflect the beam onto the UV curable coating deposited by the print head onto the work surface.
