SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING PRINTING CONDITIONS BASED ON SAMPLES OF IMAGES PRINTED BY SHUTTLE-BASED PRINTERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240010018 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING PRINTING CONDITIONS BASED ON SAMPLES OF IMAGES PRINTED BY SHUTTLE-BASED PRINTERS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method performed by a system to determine a condition related to a printed section produced by a shuttle-based printer. The method involves printing a portion of an image on a medium, scanning the printed section to capture a sample image, and inspecting the sample image to determine a value indicative of the condition related to the printed section.

  • The method involves printing a portion of an image on a medium using a shuttle-based printer.
  • The printed section is then scanned to capture a sample image.
  • The sample image is captured by an imager moving in a direction perpendicular to the downstream direction of the medium.
  • The sample image is inspected to determine a value indicative of a condition related to the printed section.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Quality control in printing processes.
  • Defect detection in printed materials.
  • Monitoring and analyzing the condition of printed sections.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensures the quality and accuracy of printed sections.
  • Detects any defects or issues in the printed materials.
  • Provides a method for inspecting and analyzing the condition of printed sections.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improves the overall quality of printed materials.
  • Reduces the chances of printing errors or defects.
  • Enables efficient and accurate inspection of printed sections.


Original Abstract Submitted

embodiments include a method performed by a system operative to determine a condition related to a printed section printed by a shuttle-based printer. the method includes printing a portion of an image on a section of a medium, thereby providing a printed section. the section of the medium can have a size defined by at least a step size taken by the shuttle-based printer to advance the medium in a downstream direction. the method also includes scanning at least the printed section to capture a sample image of the printed section. the sample image can be captured by using an imager moving in a direction perpendicular to the downstream direction. the method also includes inspecting at least the sample image to determine a value indicative of a condition related to the printed section.
