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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18596895 titled 'PRINTING APPARATUS, PRINTING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

The patent application describes an inkjet printing apparatus and method that reduces density unevenness by controlling air blowing to the printing medium.

  • When an expected pause time exceeds a predetermined threshold, a platen air blowing unit blows air at a lower speed to the printing medium.
  • This helps maintain consistent density across the printed surface.
  • The innovation aims to improve print quality and reduce defects in inkjet printing processes.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be used in commercial printing, packaging, and textile industries.
  • It can also be applied in the production of labels, stickers, and other printed materials.

Problems Solved:

  • Addresses density variations that can occur during printing pauses.
  • Ensures uniform ink distribution and color consistency in printed output.

Benefits:

  • Improved print quality with reduced density variations.
  • Enhanced overall efficiency and productivity in inkjet printing operations.

Commercial Applications:

  • This technology can be integrated into high-speed inkjet printers used in various industries.
  • It can benefit companies looking to enhance their printing capabilities and produce high-quality printed materials.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the air blowing unit help reduce density unevenness in inkjet printing? 

  - The air blowing unit controls the airflow to the printing medium during pauses, ensuring consistent ink distribution.

2. What are the potential cost savings associated with implementing this technology in printing processes? 

  - By reducing defects and improving print quality, companies can save on reprints and material wastage.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided is an inkjet printing apparatus, an inkjet printing method, and a storage medium capable of causing less density unevenness. To this end, in a case where an expected pause time is larger than a predetermined threshold T (s), a platen air blowing unit blows air to the surface of a printing medium on a platen at a wind speed lower than that during printing.
