RECORDING METHOD AND RECORDING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18460164 titled 'RECORDING METHOD AND RECORDING SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a recording method using an inkjet ink containing water and a pigment, with specific parameters for conveyance speed, pigment content, and droplet volume.

  • Conveyance speed of recording medium is 500 mm/s or more
  • Inkjet ink contains at least water and a pigment
  • Pigment content is 5% by mass or more
  • One droplet of inkjet ink has a volume of 3 pL or less

Potential Applications

The technology described in the patent application could be applied in various industries such as printing, packaging, labeling, and textile printing.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of achieving high-speed recording with inkjet ink containing a high pigment content without compromising print quality.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include faster recording speeds, improved color vibrancy due to higher pigment content, and precise droplet control for detailed printing.

Potential Commercial Applications

  • High-speed label printing for packaging industry
  • Textile printing for fast production processes
  • High-quality photo printing for professional photographers

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be inkjet printing methods with lower pigment content, resulting in slower printing speeds and less vibrant colors.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology compare to traditional printing methods in terms of cost-effectiveness?

The article does not provide information on the cost-effectiveness of implementing this technology compared to traditional printing methods.

Are there any environmental considerations related to the use of inkjet inks with high pigment content?

The article does not address any potential environmental impacts or considerations associated with using inkjet inks containing a high pigment content.


Original Abstract Submitted

A recording method includes: conveying a recording medium; and performing recording by ejecting droplets of an inkjet ink onto the recording medium while conveying the recording medium, wherein, a conveyance speed of the recording medium is 500 mm/s or more, the inkjet ink contains at least water and a pigment, the content of the pigment is 5% by mass or more with respect to a total amount of the inkjet ink, and one droplet of the inkjet ink has a volume of 3 pL or less.
