Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of technology of inkjet printing, refer to a kind of uneven ink-jet print system of automatically calibrating ink gun bearing speed and method especially.
Background technology
For inkjet technology, the quality of printout (Print quality), and the speed of printout (throughput) often contradict each other, and need meet each other half way (tradeoff).For instance, desire to reach the printing of photograph quality, need do the printing (multi-pass printing) of multiple-pass, that is (carriage scan direction) moves back and forth repeatedly back and forth in the ink gun scanning direction to need ink gun, go out complete image output with ink-jet progressively.
Desktop photo printer with Hewlett-Packard (Hewlett-Packard) model 6578 is an example, prints an A4 size photograph output, needs ink gun to move back and forth approximately and prints stroke about 400 times.Wherein, stroke all needs CD-ROM drive motor to drive the ink gun bearing (carriage) of printer each time, passes through acceleration, constant speed, reaches the process of slowing down and stopping.Therefore, for the present stage inkjet technology, printout speed is still a bottleneck factor.
In addition, in the prior art, during inkjet printing, the ink-jet action needs to carry out when ink gun enters the constant speed interval.Muzzle velocity because of the horizontal direction of considering ink droplet, if carry out the ink-jet action according to fixed time sequence (timing), and ink gun is seated against the acceleration and deceleration zone promptly to begin to print, and then can cause and print image distortion (distortion), and produce print quality defective or mistake.
United States Patent (USP) the 5th, 997, the asymmetric acceleration region of No. 130 exposure is under the prerequisite that does not influence print quality, reduces print job district (working space).Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of ink gun bearing (carriage) speed of this patent.The technology of this patent does not have actual the correction, but the space that originally is reserved as acceleration region and deceleration zone of one side between print zone is reduced.When printing high-quality output mode, be restricted to unidirectional printing, and the printing stroke of ink gun is by there being a side of reserving accelerating space to begin to carry out, and in print area, maintains constant speed.In case through print area, then can significantly slow down, ink gun is stopped.And because of not needing bi-directional printing, backhaul to need not to consider acceleration region and deceleration regional issue.When draft mode is printed, owing to the ink dot amount minimizing of required ink-jet is many, and reduce for the requirement of quality, therefore can two-wayly all can before arriving the constant speed zone, ink gun bearing (carriage) begin printing.Though it can impact print quality, still maintain within the requirement to draft mode.
United States Patent (USP) the 6th, 361, the velocity correction method of the ink gun bearing (carriage) that discloses for No. 137 is to use speed and the inkjet printing sequential of a cover complicated hardware circuit with decision ink gun bearing (carriage), wherein, the inkjet printing sequential is ink gun bearing translational speed and the ink gun function to the distance of paper.This patent is printed test pattern and read, analyze the result of printed test pattern not.This patent is estimated module according to the ink gun shift position signal (encodersignal) that receives by an ink droplet flight time, the instant analysis spot speed, and in estimating between this lane place ink droplet estimate the flight time, with the sequential of decision ink-jet control signal.Between two position signallings (encoder signal), do interpolation with sequential (clock) signal that system produces, on time shaft, estimate speed, estimating the ink droplet flight time, and then decision ink-jet sequential.Yet this patent need have complicated hardware, can determine the speed and the inkjet printing sequential of ink gun bearing (carriage) immediately.
United States Patent (USP) the 5th, 448 has disclosed one for No. 269 and has proofreaied and correct the method that ink droplet outlet initial velocity causes the ink droplet landing error.This patent is for proofreading and correct because of hold the ink droplet landing error that paper roller has curvature to cause on the paper direction of advance.Wherein when the bi-directional printing pattern, carry out the correction of muzzle velocity.This inventive method is first printed test pattern, and this test pattern is vertical lines.Re-use an optical sensor (opticalsensor) and read this test pattern.At last, analytical error and do the correction of outlet speed.The correction of muzzle velocity is to add extra delay (delay) for the part spray orifice on the ink-jet sequential.It mainly is the error that curvature caused that paper roller is held in compensation, does not carry out any correction at the inhomogeneous error that causes of ink gun bearing speed.Therefore, known ink-jet print system still exists many shortcomings to demand urgently improving.

Max, when constant speed district 52, this optical density is convergence one fixed value OD gradually
Const
Fig. 5 C is the schematic diagram of the optical density table of test pattern image of the present invention.If the width of this recording medium is 8 inches, and per inch is printed 600 points, and (600 dots per inch 600dpi), when then this recording medium 280 is printed a line, then have 4800 print points.That is in this optical density table, its position field is 0～4799.The optical density field then writes down the optical density of each some position (dot position) respectively.
This treating apparatus 240 produces comparison list 290 according to this optical density table.Fig. 5 D is the schematic diagram of the table of comparisons of the present invention.This table of comparisons 290 is according to the ink gun position, to produce a retardation values (delay).That is the retardation values of this table of comparisons 290 is the function of a position, delay=func (position).Shown in Fig. 5 D, the retardation values when retardation values then writes down this ink gun respectively and is seated against the every bit position.For example, this ink gun is seated against at a little 2 o'clock, and its retardation values is 193 chronomeres.In the present invention, chronomere is microsecond (μ s).
In step S440, adjust the sequential of the ink-jet control signal of this ink gun bearing according to this table of comparisons 290, and export adjusted ink-jet control signal.Fig. 6 adjusts the schematic diagram of the sequential of ink-jet control signal for the present invention, wherein, when ink gun is positioned at a some position 0, the ink-jet control signal of this ink gun bearing should be exported when time A, yet adopt technology of the present invention, the ink-jet control signal of this ink gun bearing according to this table of comparisons in time A ' time output.That is the ink-jet control signal has been delayed just exporting after 200 microseconds.The sequential of the ink-jet control signal by adjusting this ink gun bearing makes that the ink dot that is printed on accelerating region and deceleration area is more even, to reach the purpose that reduces accelerating region and deceleration area space.
The generation method of the above-mentioned table of comparisons is as follows: optical density can be directly measured on each position by image capture unit, and it can represent the colouring intensity of this position.With embodiment, test pattern is a uniform color lump, but because of printing the uneven influence of bearing speed, the intensity that causes actual amount to get is also inhomogeneous, therefore can set up comparison list.
The value of the table of comparisons is the retardation values of ink-jet control signal and the relation of position.Its generation should be passed through the process of recurrence (iteration), that is at different ink gun ink characteristics, via the experiment of recurrence, finds out the value of the table of comparisons.In other words, similar with the adjustment of the known inkjet printing color conversion table of comparisons, set table of comparisons initial value earlier, printed test pattern, the acquisition optical density produces the table of comparisons of a renewal, again the table of comparisons that upgrades of recurrence (finding out trend according to the result of recurrence last time), progressively convergence obtains the table of comparisons that this ink gun is suitable for, and makes the ink gun bearing still can print the result of even color lump in accelerating region.
The generation of the table of comparisons is to obtain via the computing for the treatment of apparatus 240.Embodiment as described above, the test pattern that image capture unit 230 fechtables are printed is at each locational OD value, on each position, these values compare via the theoretical value (test pattern is with this theoretical value design) for the treatment of apparatus and this position, calculate the required retardation values of ink jet signal, to set up the table of comparisons.For instance, on ink gun bearing acceleration region, the position adjacent sigtnal interval can progressively reduce (because speed is more and more faster), therefore the printing of test color lumps can obtain uneven result, and color progressively deepens (can be got by the image capture unit amount) by shallow, treating apparatus can be to these positions according to the result of image capture, the ink-jet control signal retardation values that gives progressively to reduce.These values form comparison list, supply with table of comparisons device 260 and produce real print control signal.
Because the present invention utilizes the table of comparisons of setting up in advance, proofreaies and correct the ink-jet control signal when printing accelerating region and deceleration area.And the foundation of the table of comparisons can off-line operation, via printed test pattern, and analyzes the data of being read back by this image capture unit and finishes.Therefore, the technology of the present invention need not instant a large amount of computing, or complicated hardware circuit.On framework, have simple and cost-effective advantage.
Simultaneously, general appendix is in the optics sensing element (optical sensor) of ink gun bearing, optical density that can the scanning and printing pattern in case this treating apparatus 240 analyze, so need not to increase new element.And for the multifunctional paper feeding machine of the sensor of sensor with charge-coupled device (CCD) kenel or contact-type image sensing device (CIS) kenel, then can use higher horizontal sweep resolution, obtain more complete image capture data, set up more accurately and proofread and correct the table of comparisons.
So, by the technology of the present invention, in the stroke of inkjet printing (swath), acceleration region and deceleration zone can obtain to utilize, and reducing ink gun needs reciprocating distance, increases printout speed.In addition, for the design of printer, can reduce because of reserving the operating space (workspace) of acceleration and deceleration exceptional space, the space that makes printer use is more efficient, and then effectively reduces cost.
The technology of the present invention analytical test pattern is created in the correction table of comparisons on the locational space, with the sequential that decides the ink-jet control signal.The technology of the present invention need not to use the complexity calculation process in the known technology, need not to use the ability of the instant computing complex data of known technology.The technology of the present invention is used the required ink-jet sequential of the table of comparisons (look-up table) contrast, and the table of comparisons is from being the line generation, and comparatively simple, cost is also lower.
Since of the present invention from the uneven function of dynamic(al) correction ink gun bearing speed can in be built in user's interface, the user can be according to need, or system recommendations, at any time carrying out the oneself detects and proofreaies and correct, and correction program is simple and easy, only need printed test pattern, and start image capture unit acquisition test pattern data.Thereafter analysis and the work of setting up the table of comparisons are then finished automatically by system, and the table of comparisons of finishing, and printing backward can be used.That is the uneven ink-jet print system of automatically calibrating ink gun bearing speed of the present invention can reflect the situation (condition) of integral printer immediately, and carries out suitable correction.So, all can proofread and correct effectively, and obtain best print quality and optimized printout speed for because of mechanical wear, aging, the variation of transmission system (as belt), the factors such as weight change that ink gun causes because of printing.
Therefore, except proofreading and correct the ink droplet landing error that produces because of the acceleration and deceleration zone, the present invention also recoverable is inhomogeneous because of the movement velocity of controlling or the machine factor is produced, to obtain best output result.
From the above, the inhomogeneous ink-jet of automatically calibrating ink gun bearing speed provided by the invention is beaten The ink droplet landing error that produces because of acceleration and deceleration zones not only can be proofreaied and correct by the seal system, also recoverable because of control or Therefore the phenomenon that the movement velocity that mechanical factor produces is inhomogeneous can obtain best print quality and reach The printout speed of goodization. In addition, the present invention can set up the table of comparisons by off-line, therefore, and skill of the present invention Art need not instant a large amount of computing, or complicated hardware circuit, so the technology of the present invention has simple and becomes The advantage of this saving can avoid known technology need use the problem of complicated hardware circuit.
