INKJET RECORDING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240025188 titled 'INKJET RECORDING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an inkjet recording device that includes a conveyance unit, a carriage, one or more ink head lines, and a processing head. The processing head is positioned upstream of the ink head lines in the conveyance direction and is designed to eject a non-coloring preprocessing solution. The distance between the one-end side head and the other-end side head in the main scanning direction is defined as lc, and the distance from the one-end side head to the preprocessing head is defined as b1. The relationship |(b1−lc/2)|/lc≥1/4 is satisfied.
- The inkjet recording device includes a conveyance unit, carriage, ink head lines, and a processing head.
- The processing head ejects a non-coloring preprocessing solution.
- The distance between the one-end side head and the other-end side head is defined as lc.
- The distance from the one-end side head to the preprocessing head is defined as b1.
- The relationship |(b1−lc/2)|/lc≥1/4 is satisfied.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Inkjet printing for various purposes such as document printing, photo printing, and label printing.
- Industrial printing for product packaging, textiles, and signage.
- 3D printing for creating prototypes and small-scale production.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Improved print quality by using a preprocessing head to eject a non-coloring solution before ink is applied.
- Enhanced color accuracy and consistency by ensuring proper ink flow and preventing clogging.
- Reduced maintenance and downtime by preventing ink head blockages and improving overall printing efficiency.
Benefits of this technology:
- Higher print quality and color accuracy.
- Improved reliability and reduced maintenance.
- Increased printing speed and efficiency.
- Versatility in printing applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
an inkjet recording device includes a conveyance unit, a carriage, one or a plurality of ink head lines, and a processing head. the processing head includes a preprocessing head arranged on an upstream side of the one or plurality of ink head lines in the conveyance direction and configured to eject a non-coloring preprocessing solution. in a case where a head arranged closest to one end in the main scanning direction is defined as a one-end side head, a head arranged closest to the other end is defined as an other-end side head, a distance from the one-end side head to the other-end side head in the main scanning direction is defined as lc, and a distance from the one-end side head to the preprocessing head in the main scanning direction is defined as b1, a relationship of |(b1−lc/2)|/lc≤1/4 is satisfied.
