PRINTING DEVICE AND PRINTING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240208245 titled 'PRINTING DEVICE AND PRINTING METHOD
The abstract describes a printing apparatus with a setting unit, winding unit, printing head, and drying oven, which includes a blower heating unit and a contact heating unit. The apparatus has two printing modes, with different temperature and wind velocity settings for the drying oven in each mode.
- The printing apparatus has two modes: a first mode and a second mode for printing.
- In the second mode, the temperature of the gas blown by the blower heating unit is lower than in the first mode.
- In the second mode, the heating temperature of the contact heating unit is lower than in the first mode.
- In the second mode, the wind velocity of the gas blown by the blower heating unit is higher than in the first mode.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in industrial printing processes where precise drying of printed materials is required. - It can be utilized in the production of labels, packaging materials, and textiles.
Problems Solved: - Ensures efficient and uniform drying of printed materials. - Allows for customization of drying settings based on the specific requirements of the printing job.
Benefits: - Improved print quality due to controlled drying conditions. - Energy efficiency through optimized heating and drying processes.
Commercial Applications: - This technology can be valuable in commercial printing facilities, packaging companies, and textile manufacturers.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the printing apparatus determine which mode to operate in? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this technology in a printing facility?
Frequently Updated Research: - Stay updated on advancements in printing technology and drying processes to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the printing apparatus.
Original Abstract Submitted
a printing apparatus includes a setting unit, a winding unit, a printing head and a drying oven, and the drying oven includes a blower heating unit and a contact heating unit. the printing apparatus includes a first mode and a second mode as printing modes. either a temperature of the gas blown by the blower heating unit in the second mode is lower than a temperature of the gas blown by the blower heating unit in the first mode or a heating temperature of the contact heating unit in the second mode is lower than a heating temperature of the contact heating unit in the first mode or both. a wind velocity of the gas blown by the blower heating unit in the second mode is higher than a wind velocity of the gas blown by the blower heating unit in the first mode.
