PRINTING MODES WITH DRYING DELAYS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18249763 titled 'PRINTING MODES WITH DRYING DELAYS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method of printing an image onto a substrate using colorants.
- The method involves determining the image data, which includes the amounts of colorants to be applied.
- A print mode is determined, which includes multiple application passes and drying delays between some of the passes.
- The duration of the drying delay is dependent on the characteristics of the colorants or substrate.
- The image is then printed using the determined image data and print mode.
Original Abstract Submitted
Certain examples relate to a method of a method of printing an image which comprises determining image data for an image to be printed onto a substrate, the image data comprising application amounts of one or more colorants to be applied to the substrate. A print mode is determined for applying the colorants to the substrate and comprises a plurality of application passes each for applying some of the application amounts of the colorants to the substrate and a drying delay between at least some of the application passes. The duration of the drying delay is dependent on a characteristic of one or more of the colorants or substrate. The image is printed using the image data and the print mode.
