PRINTING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18341684 titled 'PRINTING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a printing apparatus that includes a transport unit, a printing unit, a support portion, and a suction force applying unit. The transport unit applies a force to transport the printing medium, while the printing unit performs printing on the transported medium. The support portion supports the printing medium upstream of the transport unit. The suction force applying unit applies a suction force to attract the printing medium to the support face, creating a surface pressure between the medium and the support face.

  • The printing apparatus includes a transport unit, printing unit, support portion, and suction force applying unit.
  • The transport unit applies a force to transport the printing medium.
  • The printing unit performs printing on the transported medium.
  • The support portion supports the printing medium upstream of the transport unit.
  • The suction force applying unit applies a suction force to attract the printing medium to the support face.
  • This creates a surface pressure between the medium and the support face.

Potential Applications

  • Printing industry
  • Publishing industry
  • Packaging industry
  • Labeling industry

Problems Solved

  • Ensures proper transport and support of the printing medium
  • Prevents slippage or misalignment during printing process
  • Improves print quality and accuracy

Benefits

  • Enhanced printing performance
  • Increased productivity
  • Improved print quality

Original Abstract Submitted

The printing apparatus includes a transport unit, a printing unit, a support portion, and a suction force applying unit. The transport unit is configured to apply a transport force to the printing medium and transport the printing medium. The printing unit is configured to perform printing on the printing medium transported. The support portion includes a support face configured to support the printing medium at a position upstream of the transport unit in a transport direction in which the transport unit transports the printing medium. The suction force applying unit is configured to apply, to the printing medium transported along the support face, a suction force attracting the printing medium to the support face, thereby generating a surface pressure based on the suction force between the printing medium and the support face.
