IMAGE RECORDING APPARATUS, COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM, AND METHOD FOR APPROPRIATELY ENLARGING IMAGE IN BORDERLESS IMAGE RECORDING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18518245 titled 'IMAGE RECORDING APPARATUS, COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM, AND METHOD FOR APPROPRIATELY ENLARGING IMAGE IN BORDERLESS IMAGE RECORDING
The image recording apparatus described in the patent application includes a controller that manages a conveyor and an image recording engine capable of borderless image recording.
- When the length of the medium is equal to or less than a specific length, the controller executes a first enlargement process to enlarge the image with a first overhang area that extends beyond the image recording target area.
- The first overhang area has an overhang width of a first value.
- If the medium length is greater than the specific length, the controller performs a second enlargement process to enlarge the image with a second overhang area that extends beyond the image recording target area.
- The second overhang area has an overhang width of a second value smaller than the first value.
Potential Applications: - Printing industry for borderless image recording - Photography for high-quality image enlargement - Graphic design for precise image sizing
Problems Solved: - Eliminates the need for manual adjustments in image recording - Ensures consistent and accurate image enlargement - Facilitates borderless printing for various applications
Benefits: - Enhanced image quality and resolution - Streamlined image recording process - Increased efficiency and productivity in printing tasks
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Borderless Image Recording Technology for Printing Industry This technology can be utilized in commercial printing services, photography studios, graphic design firms, and other industries that require precise and high-quality image recording capabilities. The innovation offers a competitive edge by enabling borderless image recording with minimal manual intervention.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the controller determine whether to perform the first or second enlargement process? 2. What are the specific parameters used to calculate the overhang width in the image enlargement process?
Original Abstract Submitted
An image recording apparatus includes a controller configured to control a conveyor and an image recording engine to perform borderless image recording. To perform the borderless image recording, the controller performs, when a medium length is equal to or less than a particular length, a first enlargement process to enlarge an image to a size with a first overhang area by which the enlarged image extends beyond an image recording target area, the first overhang area having an overhang width of a first value. The controller further performs, when the medium length is not equal to or less than the particular length, a second enlargement process to enlarge the image to a size with a second overhang area by which the enlarged image extends beyond the image recording target area, the second overhang area having an overhang width of a second value smaller than the first value.
