PRINTING APPARATUS AND PRINTING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240100862 titled 'PRINTING APPARATUS AND PRINTING METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a technique for sorting discharged print media by suppressing curling, ensuring proper sorting of each print media.
- A determining unit decides on a curling suppressing operation to be carried out, with a higher effect of suppressing curling when a sorting operation is executed.
- A print control unit controls a print head to perform printing on print media while executing the determined curling suppressing operation.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various industries where sorting of print media is required, such as printing services, publishing houses, and packaging companies.
Problems Solved
This innovation addresses the issue of curling in print media, ensuring that the media remains flat and properly sorted during and after printing.
Benefits
- Improved print quality - Enhanced sorting efficiency - Reduced waste of print media due to curling
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhanced Sorting Efficiency in Print Media Industry"
Possible Prior Art
There are existing techniques for suppressing curling in print media, such as using anti-curl coatings or adjusting printing parameters. However, this specific method of determining and executing a curling suppressing operation during sorting may be a novel approach.
=== What are the specific parameters used to determine the level of curling suppression needed for each print media? The patent application does not provide detailed information on the specific parameters used to determine the level of curling suppression needed for each print media.
=== How does the print control unit adjust the printing process to accommodate the curling suppressing operation? The patent application does not elaborate on how the print control unit adjusts the printing process to accommodate the curling suppressing operation.
Original Abstract Submitted
provided is a technique that enables proper sorting of discharged print media by suppressing curling of each of the print media sufficiently. a determining unit determines a curling suppressing operation to be executed such that in a case where sorting operation is executed, the suppressing operation having a higher effect of suppressing curling is executed than in a case where the sorting operation is executed. then, a print control unit controls a print head to perform printing on print media while executing the suppressing operation determined by the determining unit.
