IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240310766 titled 'IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM
The patent application describes an image forming system that includes an image forming unit, a varnish coating unit, a reception unit, and a control unit. The image forming unit creates images on different types of recording media, including those with and without a coated layer. The varnish coating unit applies varnish to the recording medium after the image is formed. The reception unit receives printing jobs from users, and the control unit manages the varnish coating unit's operations.
- The image forming unit can create images on recording media with and without a coated layer.
- The varnish coating unit applies varnish to the recording medium after the image is formed.
- The control unit manages the varnish coating unit's operations based on the type of recording medium and printing job received.
- The system allows for varnish coating processes to be controlled based on the type of recording medium used.
Potential Applications: - Printing industry for creating high-quality images on various types of recording media. - Graphic design industry for adding a protective varnish coating to printed materials.
Problems Solved: - Ensures proper varnish coating on different types of recording media. - Enhances the quality and durability of printed images.
Benefits: - Improved image quality and durability. - Efficient varnish coating process based on recording medium type.
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Image Forming System for Enhanced Printing Processes This technology can be used in commercial printing services, graphic design studios, and advertising agencies to produce high-quality printed materials with added protection from varnish coatings. The market implications include improved customer satisfaction and increased demand for premium printing services.
Questions about Image Forming System: 1. How does the varnish coating unit determine when to apply varnish to the recording medium? The varnish coating unit is controlled by the control unit, which manages the varnish coating process based on the type of recording medium and printing job received.
2. What are the advantages of using an image forming system with a varnish coating unit? The system ensures consistent and high-quality varnish coating on different types of recording media, enhancing the overall appearance and durability of printed materials.
Original Abstract Submitted
an image forming system includes an image forming unit, a varnish coating unit, a reception unit, and a control unit. the image forming unit executes an image forming process of forming an image on types of recording media including a first type of recording medium with a coated layer and a second type of recording medium without a coated layer. the varnish coating unit executes a varnish coating process of varnish coating a recording medium on which an image is formed by the image forming unit. the reception unit receives a printing job from a user. the control unit controls the varnish coating unit. when the printing job received by the reception unit is a printing job for executing the varnish coating process on the second type of recording medium, the control unit controls the varnish coating unit to prevent the varnish coating unit from executing the varnish coating process.
