The printing control method provided in the present application is described below with reference to the printing system shown in fig. 1.
Example 1
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a printing control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the embodiment is applicable to a printing system including a printing medium and a printing device, the printing device including a nozzle, and the method may be executed by the printing control device, and specifically includes the following steps:
step 210, controlling the nozzle to move to print the printing medium in a single line, or controlling the printing medium to move so that the nozzle prints the printing medium in a single line.
Specifically, the spray head can be controlled to move on the longitudinal axis, the printing medium is fixed, and single-line printing of the printing medium is realized based on the spray holes; the printing medium can be controlled to move on the transverse shaft, the printing medium moves on the transverse shaft, the spray head is fixed, and single-line printing of the printing medium is realized based on the spray holes. In the embodiment of the invention, the printing medium is printed in a single row while the spray head or the printing medium is controlled to move.
The printing height of the spray head can comprise an effective height and an eclosion height, wherein the effective height can be the height of the spray hole which normally emits ink for printing, and the eclosion height can be the error height of the intermediate printing medium for printing in a single line twice. If the height of the pattern to be printed is smaller than or equal to the effective height, printing of the pattern to be printed can be completed by single-line printing; if the height of the pattern to be printed is greater than the effective height, a plurality of lines of printing is required.
Step 220, after the single-line printing is completed, if the to-be-printed height of the pattern to be printed is determined to be greater than the effective height of the nozzle, determining the moving height of the printing medium according to the effective height, and controlling the printing medium to move by the moving height.
The effective height of the spray head can be the difference between the printing height and the eclosion height of the spray head, the printing height can be the original printing height, namely the height of the spray hole capable of spraying, the eclosion height can be the eclosion part of the original printing height, and then the difference between the printing height and the eclosion height of the spray head can be determined to be the effective height of the spray head.
Specifically, if the to-be-printed height of the to-be-printed pattern is determined to be larger than the effective height of the spray head, the to-be-printed pattern after the single-line printing cannot be printed after the single-line printing, and the to-be-printed pattern can be printed only by performing the multi-line printing. The print medium can thus be moved so that the jet head can continue printing the pattern to be printed on the moved print medium.
In addition, after the single-line printing is completed, the effective printing height can be the effective height, and then the printing medium can be moved along the transverse axis so as to continue printing other unprinted parts of the printing medium based on the spray head.
And 230, updating the height to be printed based on the moving height, and continuously executing control of the spray head to move based on the printing medium and print the updated pattern to be printed until the printing of the pattern to be printed is completed.
Specifically, if the height to be printed of the pattern to be printed is greater than the effective height of the head, after the end of the single-line effective printing, the height to be printed may be updated according to the movement height determined by the effective height of the head, and printing may be continued for the updated height to be printed.
In the embodiment of the invention, after updating the height to be printed, the control of the nozzle to move based on the printing medium and print the pattern to be printed can be continuously executed until the height to be printed of the pattern to be printed is smaller than or equal to the effective height of the nozzle, then the pattern to be printed with the rest printing height is continuously printed, and the control of the printing medium to move the rest printing height is executed, so that the complete pattern to be printed is obtained.
The first embodiment of the invention provides a printing control method, which is applied to a printing system, wherein the printing system comprises a printing medium and a printing device, the printing device comprises a spray head, and the method comprises the following steps: controlling the spray head to move to perform single-line printing on the printing medium, or controlling the printing medium to move so that the spray head performs single-line printing on the printing medium; after the single-line printing is finished, if the to-be-printed height of the pattern to be printed is determined to be larger than the effective height of the spray head, determining the moving height of the printing medium according to the effective height, and controlling the printing medium to move by the moving height; updating the height to be printed based on the moving height until the pattern to be printed is printed. According to the technical scheme, the spray head or the printing medium is controlled to move, single-line printing is carried out on the printing medium, after the single-line printing is finished, if the height to be printed is larger than the effective height of the spray head, the printing medium is controlled to move and update the height to be printed, the spray head or the printing medium is continuously controlled to move, the single-line printing is carried out on the printing medium until the pattern to be printed is finished, continuous printing of the pattern to be printed is realized, and the printing medium is saved.
Example two
Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a print control method according to a second embodiment of the present invention, which is embodied on the basis of the above-described embodiment. In this embodiment, the method may further include:
step 310, controlling the printing medium to move within a preset threshold range, and simultaneously controlling the spray head to move to print the printing medium in a single line.
Specifically, the print medium can be controlled to move on the horizontal axis, and the moving distance to the left or right can be larger than or equal to the difference between the jet hole distance and the initial printing times and smaller than or equal to the jet hole distance, and meanwhile, the spray head can be controlled to move on the vertical axis, so that single-line printing of the print medium can be realized based on the jet holes.
In practical application, the printing speed can be determined according to the maximum jet printing speed of the jet head, the physical resolution of the jet head and the resolution of an image to be printed; determining an acceleration and deceleration distance according to the printing speed, the maximum jet printing speed and the minimum acceleration and deceleration distance; and controlling the spray head to increase the speed to the printing speed within the acceleration and deceleration distance, and printing the pattern to be printed at the printing speed. After the printing speed and the acceleration and deceleration distance are determined, the spray head can be controlled to accelerate the spray head to the printing speed within the acceleration and deceleration distance, so that the printing of the pattern to be printed at the printing speed is realized, the reciprocating times of the spray head on a printing medium are reduced, and the printing speed is improved.
Of course, in practical applications, the relative movement of the print medium and the print device, i.e. the nozzle, is controlled by other ways, for example, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of the ink outlet of the nozzle in the print control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, in the first aspect, the print height of the nozzle is first determined to be H, the initial print times are P, the first feathering height is F, and of course, the value of F may be set according to the actual needs. The spray head is controlled to print based on the movement of the printing medium, and the printing medium can be controlled to move once in a preset threshold range; after the single-line effective printing is finished, controlling the printing medium to move

The last printing is performed, and after the printing is finished, the printing medium can be controlled to move by M+F, so that the printing is finished.
Fig. 5 is an ink outlet schematic diagram of a nozzle in another printing control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5, in the second aspect, first, the print height of the nozzle is determined to be H, the initial print times are P, the second feathering height is Q, of course, the value of Q may be set according to actual needs, and the first moving distance L is determined by subtracting any value in a preset threshold range from the second feathering height Q or Q. The control spray head prints based on the printing medium movement at the same time, of course, the printing medium can also be controlled to move once within the range of subtracting a preset threshold value from Q or Q, and the remaining printing height after the single-line effective printing is finished is determined as M=M-L; further controlling the print medium movement H-p×q, the remaining print height may be determined to be m=m- (H-p×q) =m-h+p×q after the one-line effective printing is completed; judging the residual printing height and the size of H-P X Q, if M is smaller than H-P X Q, printing can be continuously performed while printing is performed, and of course, the printing medium can be controlled to move once within a range of subtracting a preset threshold value from Q or Q, and the residual printing height after printing is finished is determined to be M=M-L; if M > H-P X Q, then the last printing is performed, after printing is finished, the printing medium can be controlled to move M, and printing is finished.
In the embodiment of the invention, the printing medium can be controlled to move within the preset threshold range while the spray head is controlled to move, so that the printing of a single line of the printing medium is realized.
Step 311, controlling the print medium to move so that the nozzle performs single-line printing on the print medium.
Specifically, the printing medium is controlled to move on the transverse axis, the printing medium moves on the transverse axis, the spray head is fixed, and single-line printing of the printing medium is realized based on the spray holes.
In practical applications, step 310 or step 311 may be performed first, and step 312 may be performed after step 310.
Step 312, determining the effective height according to the printing height and the feathering height of the spray head.
Fig. 6 is an ink discharge schematic diagram of a nozzle in another printing control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6, a printing result generated by the nozzle in a printing process may include an effective portion and an feathering portion, and further, a height obtained by subtracting the feathering height from the printing height may be determined as a height of a normal ink discharge portion of the nozzle, that is, an effective height.
Step 313, judging whether the height to be printed of the pattern to be printed is larger than the effective height of the nozzle after the single-line printing is finished.
Specifically, after the moving nozzle or the printing medium completes the single-line printing, the difference between the initial height to be printed and the effective printing height of the single-line printing can be determined as the height to be printed of the pattern to be printed after the single-line printing is completed. The printing distance of the printing medium can be determined according to the comparison result, and the printing of the pattern to be printed can be continued after the medium to be printed is moved based on the movement distance.
In the embodiment of the invention, when the height to be printed is larger than the effective height, the printing medium can be moved at a high speed based on the effective printing of single-line printing and the single-line printing can be continuously carried out until the height to be printed is smaller than or equal to the effective height, at the moment, the rest printing height can be determined according to the height to be printed, the printing medium can be moved based on the rest printing height and the printing of the pattern to be printed can be continuously carried out, the continuous printing of the pattern to be printed can be realized based on the spray head and the printing medium, and the printing medium can be saved.
If the height to be printed is greater than the effective height, steps 314-315 are performed, otherwise steps 316-317 or steps 318-319 are performed.
Step 314, determining the moving height of the printing medium according to the effective height, and controlling the printing medium to move by the moving height.
In one embodiment, determining the height of movement of the print medium based on the effective height comprises:
the effective height is determined as the moving height of the print medium, or a quotient of the effective height and an initial number of prints is determined as the moving height of the print medium.
In practical applications, the effective high speed of the nozzle may be determined as the moving height of the print medium, or the quotient of the effective height and the initial number of prints may be determined as the moving height of the print medium.
Specifically, the initial printing number may be determined according to a quotient of the resolution of the pattern to be printed and the resolution of the nozzle, and the effective height may be divided into N equal divisions based on the initial printing number, where N represents the initial printing number and N is a positive integer. Of course, N may be 2 in the print control method shown in fig. 4.
In the embodiment of the invention, the moving height can be determined to be the effective height or
Figure GDA0004114586710000131
The height is moved.
Step 315, updating the height to be printed based on the moving height.
After step 315, execution returns to step 310.
In one embodiment, updating the height to be printed based on the moving height includes:
and determining a difference value between the height to be printed and the moving height, and updating the height to be printed based on the difference value.
Specifically, the moving height of the print medium is the height of the print completion, so the height to be printed can be updated based on the moving height, that is, the updated height to be printed can be determined based on the difference between the initial height to be printed and the moving height.
In the embodiment of the present invention, since the height to be printed is greater than the effective height, the printing process may be moved to the next single line after the single line is printed, until the height to be printed is less than or equal to the effective height, and step 316 may be performed.
Step 316, controlling the print medium to move the remaining print height of the pattern to be printed, and controlling the nozzle to print in the remaining print height range based on the completion of the movement of the print medium.
Specifically, since the height to be printed is smaller than or equal to the effective height, the remaining print height indicating that the pattern to be printed remains to be printed is smaller than the effective height, and thus the printing is the last printing. The printing medium can be controlled to move the remaining printing height of the pattern to be printed, and the nozzle is controlled to print in the remaining printing height range based on the completion of the movement of the printing medium.
Step 317, controlling the print medium to move the effective height and print the next pattern to be printed.
Specifically, after the printing of the remaining printing height is completed, the printing medium can be controlled to move by an effective height, and at this time, the nozzle and the printing medium containing the printed pattern to be printed do not have an intersection area, so that the printing of the next generation printing pattern based on the nozzle and the printing medium can be continued.
Step 318, controlling the printing medium to move by an effective height, and controlling the nozzle to print in the remaining printing height range.
