PRINTING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD FOR PRINTING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240278569 titled 'PRINTING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD FOR PRINTING APPARATUS
The abstract describes a printing apparatus that includes a conveyance unit, a first printing head, and a plurality of second printing heads. The first printing head ejects a first liquid onto the printing medium, while the second printing heads eject a second liquid that reacts with the first liquid on the medium.
- Conveyance unit for moving printing medium
- First printing head ejects first liquid onto medium
- Plurality of second printing heads eject second liquid that reacts with first liquid
- First printing head positioned before second printing heads in conveyance direction
- Different distances between ejection surfaces and medium for first and second printing heads
Potential Applications: - Printing industry for creating unique designs - Textile industry for fabric printing - Packaging industry for customized packaging
Problems Solved: - Allows for intricate and detailed printing - Enables the use of reactive liquids for special effects
Benefits: - Enhanced printing capabilities - Increased customization options - Improved print quality and design possibilities
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Printing Technology for Enhanced Design Capabilities This technology can be used in various industries such as printing, textiles, and packaging to create unique and customized products. The market implications include increased demand for personalized printing solutions and higher quality design options.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the distance between the ejection surfaces and the printing medium impact the printing process? 2. What are the specific reactions that occur when the second liquid comes into contact with the first liquid during printing?
Original Abstract Submitted
a printing apparatus includes: a conveyance unit configured to convey a printing medium in a conveyance direction; a first printing head configured to eject a first liquid onto the printing medium conveyed by the conveyance unit in a state where a distance between a first ejection surface where ejection ports are formed and the printing medium corresponds to a first distance; and a plurality of second printing heads each configured to eject a second liquid, which reacts upon coming into contact with the first liquid, onto the printing medium conveyed by the conveyance unit in a state where a distance between a second ejection surface where ejection ports are formed and the printing medium corresponds to a second distance smaller than the first distance, wherein the first printing head is provided upstream of the plurality of second printing heads in the conveyance direction.
