PRINTING APPARATUS, CONTROLLING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18592737 titled 'PRINTING APPARATUS, CONTROLLING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a printing apparatus that can output high-quality images by varying the air blow condition for the air blow unit during printing, specifically in a light-shielding ink laminating print mode.

  • The air blow condition is adjusted to account for the effect of cockling on the print medium and the wettability of the print medium.
  • This innovation aims to improve the quality of printed images by optimizing the printing process based on the specific characteristics of the print medium and ink used.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Varying air blow condition during printing for high-quality images.
  • Light-shielding ink laminating print mode for improved print quality.
  • Consideration of cockling effect on print medium.
  • Optimization based on print medium wettability.

Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various industries such as printing, graphic design, packaging, and manufacturing where high-quality image output is essential.

Problems Solved:

  • Poor image quality due to inadequate printing conditions.
  • Inconsistent results caused by print medium characteristics.
  • Lack of consideration for cockling effect on print medium.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced image quality.
  • Consistent and reliable printing results.
  • Improved efficiency in printing processes.

Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in commercial printing services, packaging companies, graphic design studios, and manufacturing facilities to produce high-quality printed materials efficiently.

Prior Art: Prior research may include studies on print medium characteristics, ink properties, and printing process optimization in the field of printing technology.

Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing research in the field of printing technology may focus on further optimizing the printing process for different types of print media and inks to achieve even higher quality output.

Questions about Printing Technology: 1. How does varying the air blow condition during printing impact the quality of printed images? 2. What are the specific considerations when choosing a print mode for light-shielding ink laminating?


Original Abstract Submitted

The present invention provides a printing apparatus, a controlling method, and a storage medium capable of outputting high-quality images. To this end, the air blow condition for the air blow unit during printing is varied with a light-shielding ink laminating print mode, which is a print mode, and the effect of cockling on the print medium taken into account in addition to the wettability of the print medium.
