PRINTING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240198664 titled 'PRINTING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD

Simplified Explanation

A technology is developed to accurately detect the application of a wiping liquid on a printing unit's ink ejection port surface. The system prints a pattern on the surface, applies a wiping liquid to remove ink, and then detects the ink concentration in a specific area.

  • The technology accurately detects the application of a wiping liquid on a printing unit's ink ejection port surface.
  • A pattern is printed on the surface to guide the application of the wiping liquid.
  • The wiping liquid helps re-disperse ink that has adhered to or solidified on the ejection port surface.
  • The system includes a detection unit to measure the concentration of ink in the specified area.
  • This innovation improves the efficiency and effectiveness of cleaning ink ejection port surfaces in printing units.

Key Features and Innovation

  • Accurate detection of wiping liquid application on ink ejection port surfaces.
  • Printing of a pattern to guide the application of the wiping liquid.
  • Use of a wiping liquid to re-disperse adhered or solidified ink.
