Specifically, referring to fig. 6, it shows a sub-flow of step S200 in the method shown in fig. 3, the delivering the object to be printed according to the preset amount of travel includes:
step S210: setting the preset advancing amount according to the size of the jet printing range of the jet printing device and the maximum value of the theoretical stepping error;
specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the preset advance amount is set, the preset advance amount needs to be set by combining the size of the spray printing range of the printing trolley 2 and the maximum value of the step error of the conveying device, so that the position of the mark point subjected to spray printing enters the shooting range of the camera 4 after the conveying belt 6 moves, and after the preset advance amount is moved, the image subjected to next spray printing can coincide with the image subjected to current spray printing.
Step S220a: and according to the preset advancing amount, the object to be printed is transmitted in a stepping mode, so that the mark point can be shot by the camera, and the current jet printing image and the next jet printing image of the object to be printed are overlapped theoretically.
In the embodiment of the invention, after the preset advancing amount is determined, the stepping transmission operation of the object to be printed is executed according to the preset advancing amount, so that the object to be printed is transmitted in a stepping mode, after the transmission is finished, the camera can shoot the mark point, and theoretically, a current jet printing image on the object to be printed is overlapped with a next jet printing image.

Step S500: and controlling the adjusted nozzle to perform jet printing operation on the object to be printed according to the adjusted image data.

In the following, an example of a digital inkjet printing method applied to the conduction band printing system is provided in combination with the conduction band printing system described in the above application scenario, where the conduction band printing system includes two compensation modes, and an embodiment of the present invention takes a negative compensation mode (using the B nozzle shown in fig. 2) as an example, and takes a step pixel error of a stepping motor as 1-5 pixels as an example, and a negative deviation is obtained according to a printing effect caused by the step pixel error, at this time, a conveyor belt is moved forward less, and a coincidence phenomenon is formed if printing is performed according to a theoretical value. Specifically, in this example, the total number of nozzles of the inkjet printing device is 500, the number of the working segment nozzle groups 31 is 490, the width of the inkjet printing device per scanning printing is 490 pixels (theoretically, the stepping motor controls the distance of the object to be printed by stepping 490 pixels each time), the number of the compensation segment nozzle groups 32 is 10 (10 pixels), and the maximum value of the stepping pixel error is 5 pixels, that is, the maximum value of the stepping pixel error of the compensation segment nozzle groups 32 is twice as large as the maximum value of the stepping pixel error. Based on the maximum value of the pixel error of the stepping motor which steps less at each time according to the theoretical stepping length, only negative compensation can occur. Specifically, the following:
the stepping value of the stepping motor is changed according to the maximum value of the theoretical stepping pixel error, 5 pixels are reduced for each stepping (from 490 to 485), so that the result caused by the transmission error is superposition, and the nozzle group of the working section and the nozzle group of the compensation section can be controlled according to the number of pixels of the superposition area obtained by the camera. For example, if the number of pixels in the overlap area is 4, four nozzles of the working segment nozzle group far from the compensation segment nozzle group are controlled to be closed, four nozzles of the compensation segment nozzle group near the working segment nozzle group are opened to form a final working area, all image data to be printed are correspondingly translated, the width of the printing device for scanning and printing once is unchanged or is 490 pixels, and transmission errors are overcome.

Specifically, in this example, the total number of nozzles of the inkjet printing device is 500, the number of the working segment nozzle groups 31 is 490, the width of the inkjet printing device per scanning printing is 490 pixels (theoretically, the stepping motor controls the distance of the object to be printed by stepping 490 pixels each time), the number of the compensation segment nozzle groups 32 is 10 (10 pixels), and the maximum value of the stepping pixel error is 5 pixels, that is, the maximum value of the stepping pixel error of the compensation segment nozzle groups 32 is twice as large as the maximum value of the stepping pixel error. Based on the maximum value of the pixel error of the stepping motor which steps more than once according to the theoretical stepping length, only positive compensation can occur. Specifically, the following:
the stepping value of the stepping motor is changed according to the maximum value of the theoretical stepping pixel error, 5 pixels are stepped (changed from 490 to 495) each time, so that the result caused by the transmission error is blank, and the working section nozzle group and the compensation section nozzle group can be controlled according to the pixel number of the blank area obtained by the camera, for example, the three nozzles of the working section nozzle group far away from the compensation section nozzle group are controlled to be closed, the three nozzles of the compensation section nozzle group close to the working section nozzle group are opened to form a final working area, all image data to be printed are correspondingly translated, the width of the jet printing device for one-time scanning printing is unchanged or 490 pixels, and the transmission error is overcome.
