may for instance be mounted to move with the respective template fig6 schematically shows a further embodiment of the invention portions of a substrate 60 are patterned using first and second templates 61 62 the portions are delineated by dotted lines template holders 63 64 hold the imprint template 61 62 the imprint templates 61 62 and template holders 63 64 are moved parallel and adjacent to one another as indicated by arrows a each template 61 62 has an associated plurality of dispensers 65 68 those dispensers 66 67 which are located in front of the imprint templates 61 62 when they are moving in the direction indicated are configured to dose volumes of imprintable medium not illustrated ahead of the imprint templates this is done on a drop on demand basis the dispensers 66 67 are fixed to the template holders 63 64 and are separated from the imprint templates 61 62 by a certain distance this allows a fixed timing to be set up between depositing the imprintable medium and applying the imprint template to the imprintable medium so that all the portions of the substrate have the same fixed timing this may give very uniform processing conditions to all the portions on the substrate which may give better yield by having the dispensers close to the template the fixed timing between depositing the imprintable medium and applying the imprint template to the imprintable medium may be very short which may be beneficial for throughput and may lower the amount of evaporation of the imprintable medium.
