ABSTRACT:
A fluid application device and method transfers fluid to a substrate from a fluid applicator having a plurality of ejectors. The substrate is partitioned into a matrix of cells covering the substrate and each cell includes a plurality of fluid-receiving sites. Each of the ejectors on the fluid applicator is associated with a respective one of the cells on the substrate. As fluid is ejected from the ejectors of the fluid applicator toward the substrate, the fluid applicator and substrate are moved relative to each other to cause the ejectors to scan back and forth across all of the fluid-receiving sites of each cell of the substrate. In a typical application, the fluid applicator is a printhead that ejects ink droplets toward a sheet, the printhead being approximately as large as the sheet.
