PRINTING APPARATUS AND IDENTIFICATION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240202478 titled 'PRINTING APPARATUS AND IDENTIFICATION METHOD
The abstract of this patent application describes a printing apparatus that can produce high-definition images by using two different liquids to print an image on a medium.
- The printing unit applies a first liquid containing a colorant and a second liquid containing a component that causes the colorant to aggregate.
- The control unit manages the printing process to create patterns with varying densities of the two liquids.
- The identification unit analyzes the densities of the patterns to identify characteristics of the printing medium.
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in high-quality printing applications such as photo printing, art reproduction, and graphic design.
Problems Solved: This innovation addresses the challenge of achieving high-definition images with precise color control and detail.
Benefits: The benefits of this technology include improved image quality, color accuracy, and the ability to print detailed images on various mediums.
Commercial Applications: This technology could be valuable in industries such as photography, advertising, packaging, and fine art printing.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the use of two different liquids improve the quality of printed images? 2. What are the potential cost implications of implementing this printing technology?
Original Abstract Submitted
to print high-definition images, an embodiment of the present invention provides a printing apparatus including: a printing unit configured to print an image on a printing medium by applying a first liquid containing a colorant and a second liquid containing a component that causes the colorant to aggregate; a control unit configured to control the printing unit so as to print a first pattern and a second pattern differing from the first pattern in a manner of application of the first liquid and the second liquid; and an identification unit configured to identify a characteristic of the printing medium based on a first density of the first pattern and a second density of the second pattern.
