PRINTING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240253376 titled 'PRINTING SYSTEM

The patent application describes a printing system with two printing sections, one for printing on the front surface of a medium and the other for printing on the rear surface.

  • The first printing section ejects ink onto the surface of the medium.
  • The second printing section is located downstream of the first section and prints on the rear surface of the medium.
  • The control section determines the order of printing based on the print duties of the data to be printed on each surface of the medium.

Potential Applications: - Dual-sided printing for documents or images. - Printing on specialized materials that require ink on both sides.

Problems Solved: - Efficient printing on both sides of a medium without manual intervention. - Ensuring proper alignment and order of printing on dual-sided documents.

Benefits: - Saves time and effort in printing double-sided materials. - Improves overall printing accuracy and quality.

Commercial Applications: Title: Dual-Sided Printing System for Enhanced Document Production This technology can be used in offices, print shops, and manufacturing facilities for producing double-sided documents, brochures, and marketing materials efficiently.

Prior Art: Research into existing dual-sided printing systems and technologies can provide insights into the evolution of this innovation.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in dual-sided printing technologies, inkjet printing systems, and automation in printing processes.

Questions about Dual-Sided Printing Systems: 1. How does this technology compare to traditional single-sided printing methods? - Dual-sided printing systems offer increased efficiency and versatility compared to traditional methods by allowing for simultaneous printing on both sides of a medium.

2. What are the key considerations when implementing a dual-sided printing system in a commercial setting? - Factors to consider include print speed, ink usage, media compatibility, and maintenance requirements for optimal performance in a commercial environment.


Original Abstract Submitted

a printing system includes a first printing section configured to print by ejecting ink from a first printing section onto the surface of a medium; a second printing section that is provided downstream of the first printing section in the transport direction of the medium and that is configured to print by ejecting ink onto the rear surface of the transported medium; and a control section, wherein when printing on both surfaces of the medium, the control section determines which of first print data and second print data is to be printed first at the first printing section and later at the second printing section, based on the print duties of the first print data to be printed on the first surfaces, which is one surface of the medium, and the second print data to be printed on the second surfaces, which is the other surface of the medium.
