IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18523626 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The image forming apparatus described in the patent application is designed to print only on specific areas of a document, such as those requiring a special color ink or decorative printing, while leaving other areas ink-free.
- The apparatus extracts the areas where special color ink or decorative printing is needed.
- It then ensures that ink is only applied to the extracted areas, leaving the rest of the document untouched.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in industries such as packaging, advertising, and graphic design where precise and targeted printing is required.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of wastage of ink and resources by ensuring that only specific areas of a document are printed on, reducing costs and improving efficiency.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include cost savings, improved printing precision, and enhanced customization options for printed materials.
Potential Commercial Applications
One potential commercial application of this technology could be in the production of customized packaging materials for products, allowing for unique and eye-catching designs.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be the use of masking techniques in traditional printing processes to achieve similar results.
What are the specific areas where this technology could be most beneficial?
This technology could be most beneficial in industries where customized and targeted printing is essential, such as in the production of promotional materials, packaging, and personalized products.
How does this technology compare to existing methods of selective printing?
This technology offers a more precise and efficient method of selective printing compared to traditional methods, as it allows for the extraction and printing of specific areas with greater accuracy and control.
Original Abstract Submitted
An image forming apparatus performs printing of only a special color area by extracting an area to which a special color ink is to be applied or an area to which a decorative printing, such as a texture, is to be performed and not applying ink on an area other than the extracted area.
