Abstract

Apparatus for applying an ink image to a receiving material (3) adapted to be advanced in a direction of advance, comprising:
ink application means (6) for applying an ink image to a strip of receiving material, which strip extends in a direction transverse to the direction of advance of the receiving material, wherein the ink application means are movable over the strip of receiving material,
carrier means for keeping said strip in a predetermined position with respect to the ink application means, which carrier means comprise a carrier plate (5) for carrying said strip, said carrier plate having recesses and said carrier plate being provided with holes,
vacuum means for sucking away air via said holes from the space between the carrier plate and a strip of receiving material lying on the carrier plate, and
correction means for correcting local variations in the distance between the receiving material and the ink application means.
