1. An ink jet printing system for printing onto a plurality of substantially flat panels, said system comprising:

  • panel moving means for moving a plurality of flat panels in succession along an endless path, means providing an ink jet printing station located at one point along said endless path, said ink jet printing station having at least one ink jet printing head arranged and operable to sequentially eject drops of ink onto said panels as they move past said printing station so that as each panel passes said printing station said ink jet head scans a scan line on said panel extending parallel to said path of panel movement along which ink drops will appear if said ink jet head is operated to eject ink drops onto said panel at that time, and means for moving said at least one ink jet printer head in the direction perpendicular to said path of panel movement and in coordination with the movement of said panel moving means so that each time a panel passes said printing station said at least one ink jet head scans a new scan line on said panel.
