LARGE-SCALE INKJET PRINTER

A multipass large format flat bed inkjet printer (1) for printing an image on a substrate is described. In examples described, the printer (1) has a print carriage (8) for supporting an array of printheads (18) adjacent the substrate (6) during printing; a bed (4) for supporting the substrate (6) during printing; and a movement mechanism (5) for providing relative movement of the print carriage (8) and the substrate (6) in a print direction during a print pass. The print carriage (8) is such that the width of the array of printheads (18) transverse to the print direction is at least substantially the full width of the image. in examples described, the printheads (18) provide an array of nozzles (22) which is substantially continuous across the array of printheads (18).
