Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention pertains to a method for printing a substrate (12c) with radiation curable ink comprising providing the substrate on a support, providing an inkjet print head (14c) at an operating temperature, jetting droplets of the curable ink from the inkjet print head onto the substrate, controlling the interaction between the ink and the substrate, and then curing the ink received on the substrate by directing radiation toward the substrate, wherein the said controlling is provided for by applying an ink comprising a carrier composition and an agent that is able to reversibly gel the carrier composition, which agent is soluble in the carrier composition at the operating temperature of the inkjet print head and gels the ink when it is received on the substrate. The invention also pertains to an ink for enabling the use of the said method and a printer adapted for applying the method.
