PRINTING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240253365 titled 'PRINTING SYSTEM

The abstract describes a printing system with two printing machines that can accommodate and print on a medium as it is transported through the machines. When the medium runs out in the first machine, the system enables the transport of the medium to the second machine for continuous printing.

  • The printing system includes two printing machines with medium accommodation sections and printing sections.
  • The second printing machine is positioned downstream of the first machine for continuous printing.
  • When the medium runs out in the first machine, the system allows the medium to be transported to the second machine for uninterrupted printing.
  • This innovation ensures a seamless printing process without interruptions due to medium depletion.
  • The system optimizes printing efficiency and productivity by utilizing two machines in tandem.

Potential Applications: - Commercial printing operations - Publishing industry - Packaging and labeling companies

Problems Solved: - Interruptions in printing due to medium depletion - Improved printing efficiency and productivity

Benefits: - Continuous printing without interruptions - Enhanced productivity in printing operations - Optimized resource utilization

Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Printing System for Continuous Operations" This technology can be utilized in commercial printing businesses, publishing companies, and packaging industries to streamline printing processes and improve overall efficiency. The market implications include increased productivity and cost savings for businesses implementing this innovative printing system.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this printing system compare to traditional single-machine printing processes? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this dual-machine printing system?


Original Abstract Submitted

a printing system includes a first printing machine including a first medium accommodation section configured to accommodate a medium and a first printing section configured to print on the medium transported from the first medium accommodation section and a second printing machine including a second medium accommodation section configured to accommodate the medium and a second printing section configured to print on the medium transported from the second medium accommodation section, wherein the second printing machine is provided downstream of the first printing machine in the transport direction of the medium and when the medium in the first medium accommodation section runs out, the medium in the second medium accommodation section is configured to enable transport to the first printing machine.
