- Manufacturing industries
- Design studios
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be:
- Printing machines with manual adjustment mechanisms
Unanswered Questions
1. How does this technology compare to existing printing apparatus in terms of cost-effectiveness? 2. What are the maintenance requirements for the position adjustment unit in the long run?
Original Abstract Submitted
a printing apparatus includes a medium support unit having a support surface that supports a medium. a position adjustment unit includes a plurality of position adjustment mechanisms that adjust a position of a support surface in an intersecting direction. the position adjustment unit can change an inclination of the support surface by some of the plurality of position adjustment mechanisms moving independently, and can change the position of the support surface in the intersecting direction by all of the plurality of position adjustment mechanisms moving in conjunction with each other.
