PRINTING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18418762 titled 'PRINTING DEVICE

The abstract describes a printing device that includes a head with a nozzle for ejecting ink, a housing for the head, a platen for supporting a printing medium treated with a liquid containing a volatile component that reacts with the ink, a humidifying mechanism for supplying humidified air inside the housing, an air-blowing mechanism for blowing air from inside the housing outward, and a controller to manage these mechanisms.

  • The printing device has a head with a nozzle for ink ejection.
  • The device includes a platen to support a printing medium treated with a liquid that reacts with the ink.
  • A humidifying mechanism supplies humidified air inside the housing.
  • An air-blowing mechanism blows air from inside the housing outward.
  • The controller controls the humidifying and air-blowing mechanisms, activating the air-blowing mechanism after the humidifying mechanism.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in commercial printing applications where precise ink reactions are required. - It can be utilized in industries that require high-quality printing with specific ink treatments.

Problems Solved: - Ensures proper ink adhesion and reaction on the printing medium. - Maintains optimal humidity levels for printing quality.

Benefits: - Improved print quality and ink adhesion. - Enhanced control over ink reactions on the printing medium.

Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Printing Device for Enhanced Ink Reactions This technology can be applied in commercial printing services, packaging industries, and specialty printing applications. It offers precise control over ink reactions and enhances print quality, making it valuable for businesses requiring high-quality printing results.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the humidifying mechanism impact the ink reactions on the printing medium? 

  - The humidifying mechanism helps maintain optimal conditions for ink adhesion and reaction on the printing medium, ensuring high-quality prints.

2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this printing device? 

  - The precise control over ink reactions and improved print quality can lead to reduced waste and reprints, resulting in cost savings for businesses.


Original Abstract Submitted

A printing device includes a head including a nozzle configured to eject ink, a housing in which the head is disposed, a platen configured to support a printing medium applied with a pretreatment liquid, the pretreatment liquid containing a volatile component that reacts with the ink, a humidifying mechanism configured to supply humidified air to inside of the housing, an air-blowing mechanism configured to blow air from the inside of the housing toward outside of the housing, and a controller configured to control the humidifying mechanism and the air-blowing mechanism. The controller is configured to drive the air-blowing mechanism, at least after driving the humidifying mechanism.
