High-speed printing device and method for realizing personalized patterns based on electrostatic printing technology
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of electrostatic printing, in particular to a high-speed printing device and method for realizing personalized patterns based on an electrostatic printing technology.
Background
Printing techniques can be simply divided into conventional printing and digital printing. Traditional printing is generally classified according to the plate, and the types of printing technologies mainly include offset printing, relief printing, gravure printing and screen printing, while digital printing is a product of the development of computer technology in the 20 th century, mainly referring to digital inkjet printing and plateless direct printing (e.g., electrostatic printing).
The traditional printing technology needs to prepare a printing template in advance (for example, a screen with a specific printing pattern needs to be prepared in advance during screen printing), and the same printing template can only be used repeatedly to print the same pattern, so that the traditional printing technology has the defects of high printing cost and low printing efficiency, and is gradually replaced by the existing printing technology.
In modern plateless printing technologies such as digital spray painting, electrostatic printing and the like, patterns needing spray painting need to be designed into printing templates of electronic plates in a computer in advance, the printing templates are output to a printing machine for printing, and the patterns can be printed in batches quickly. However, the pre-designed printing template can only print the unique pattern determined by the printing template in batch quickly, and cannot print the differentiated pattern in batch quickly, which is difficult to meet the printing requirement of printing the personalized pattern with difference quickly today.

Detailed Description
To further clarify the technical solutions and effects adopted by the present application to achieve the intended purpose, the following detailed description is given with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments according to the present application. In the following description, different "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" refers to not necessarily the same embodiment. Furthermore, the particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.
For better understanding of the present invention, the personalized pattern related to the present invention is described as follows: for example, a large number of decoration panels of a microwave oven need to be printed, the decoration panels are attached to an oven door of the microwave oven, the decoration panels need to be printed with usage introduction or usage caution items of the microwave oven and two-dimensional code patterns, the two-dimensional code patterns correspond to machine models, machine codes, factory information and the like of each microwave oven, a user can obtain the machine models, the machine codes, the factory information and the like by scanning the two-dimensional code patterns, and therefore it is required to ensure that each decoration panel obtained by final printing has different two-dimensional code patterns. The two-dimensional code pattern is in this example the personalized pattern of the printed decor panel.
In order to meet the requirement of quick printing of personalized patterns, the invention discloses a high-speed printing device for realizing personalized patterns based on an electrostatic printing technology, which can automatically generate printing plates with personalized and complex patterns according to the customization requirement and quickly print the generated printing plates in batches by using an electrostatic printer.
As shown in fig. 1, the high-speed printing apparatus disclosed by the present invention specifically includes a printing plate generating apparatus 1 and an electrostatic printing press 2, and the printing plate generating apparatus 1 generates a printing plate to be supplied to the electrostatic printing press 2 for high-speed printing based on an electrostatic printing technique.
Specifically, the printing plate producing apparatus 1 includes: a master generating module 11 for generating a master based on CTP (Computer-to-plate) technology; the personalized customization module 12 is used for acquiring personalized customization parameters input by a user; a personalized information obtaining module 13 for obtaining the corresponding personalized pattern according to at least part of the personalized customization parameters; and the printing plate editing module 14 is used for automatically editing the master plate according to the personalized customization parameters and the personalized patterns to form the personalized patterns on the master plate, and generating the printing plate to output to the electrostatic printing machine 2.
The master generation module 11 corresponds to a CTP platemaking module in the related art.

The personalized information obtaining module 13 obtains the personalized pattern according to the type information of the personalized pattern and the source information of the personalized pattern. And the printing plate editing module 14 edits the master plate, reads one of the personalized patterns, and inserts the read personalized pattern into the corresponding position of the master plate according to the position information of the personalized pattern on the master plate, thereby generating a printing plate. Therefore, through the personalized customization parameters input by the personalized customization module 12, the personalized information acquisition module 13 not only determines the basis for acquiring the personalized patterns, but also provides the basis for the printing plate editing module 14 to further insert the personalized patterns into the master plate to generate the printing plates, and further provides the basis for the electrostatic printing machine 2 to print the number of each printing plate generated by the printing plate generation device 1.

For example, the personalized pattern is a two-dimensional code pattern representing product information, and specific information represented by the two-dimensional code pattern on each product is different, and it is determined that each two-dimensional code pattern finally output to the electrostatic printer 2 is also unique, so the personalized information obtaining module 13 may call a two-dimensional code generating function, generate a two-dimensional code pattern by the two-dimensional code generating function according to preset requirements (for example, reading specific information of each product in sequence), transmit the generated two-dimensional code pattern to the printing plate editing module 14, and allow the printing plate editing module 14 to insert the generated two-dimensional code pattern at a specified position of the master plate to generate a printing plate and output the printing plate to the electrostatic printer 2.
The personalized information obtaining module 13 reads the existing personalized pattern according to the source information of the personalized pattern. For example, a plurality of personalized patterns are stored in a designated database or folder, a user determines a reading path of the database or folder when the source information of the personalized patterns is obtained, the personalized information obtaining module 13 sequentially reads each personalized pattern and then transmits the personalized pattern to the printing plate editing module 14, and the printing plate editing module 14 respectively inserts each personalized pattern into a designated position of the master plate so as to respectively generate differentiated printing plates and output the differentiated printing plates to the electrostatic printing machine 2 for printing.
The printing plate generating device 1 can rapidly generate the printing plate with the personalized pattern according to the personalized customization parameters input by the user, and provides a realization condition for the electrostatic printer 2 to perform high-speed printing, so that the electrostatic printer 2 can meet the high-efficiency printing requirement of the personalized pattern.
