Abstract:
The invention relates to fixed glazing for a building, comprising at least one glass pane, for example triple glazing. According to the invention, the glass pane is directly inserted in the adjacent building structure without interposing a frame that consists of a rigid material, and/or it is inserted in the laterally adjacent insulation of the building structure.
Abstract:
The invention is focusing on an inkjet printer as well as on a method for operating an inkjet printer, in which for at least one color at least two inks of the of the same color, but of varying color intensity are used, namely one ink of a lighter color intensity Jh and an ink of a darker color intensity Jd, where preferably to following applies: Jd=2x*Jh, with x for example being 2, 3 or 4. Then 2x is in these case 22=4, or 23=8, or 24=16; whereat several ink drops are printed on one pixel on top of one another in quick succession, namely 0 . . . (2x−1) ink drops so that with the darker ink 2x brightness levels can be accomplished, and with the lighter ink likewise 2x brightness levels, what from altogether 2x*2x=22x different brightness levels are resulting; and where the individual drops unite together during their flight or do not come loose from each other, resulting in only one single color drop per pixel on the printing substrate.
