Abstract
A method and device for digital printing to a recording medium with liquid print color is described. In a method for digital printing, a print image defined by print data is printed onto the recording medium via application of the liquid print color. After the application of the liquid print color onto the recording medium, the recording medium can be heated to vaporize the carrier fluid. Upon heating, air is supplied that mixes with the vapor to form a combustible gas. The combustible gas can be supplied to a combustion chamber and converted into waste gas. In a method for digital printing, an areal coverage can be determined. The areal coverage describes a quantity of color applied onto the recording medium by the carrier fluid. Further, the air supply can be proportionally controlled to the determined areal coverage.
