Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for calibrating an inkjet printer. Furthermore, the invention relates to a printed with a correspondingly calibrated inkjet printer printed product.
- a print image is created by the targeted ejection or deflection of ink droplets.
- the print image is composed of a grid of individual pixels, the achievable resolution being essentially given by the number of ink ejection nozzles per surface combined in one print head.
- the print image is formed by the print head is moved relative to the substrate to be printed with appropriate activation of the nozzle.
- the resolution of an inkjet printer is typically specified as dpi (dots per (square)).
- the printed image can be printed on a variety of substrates, such as paper, wood, laminate, glass, textile or plastic.
- the range of applications of inkjet printers is wide and ranges from well-known applications in the office and home sector to professional applications in the commercial sector. Particularly in the commercial sector, a consistently consistent print image must be guaranteed at high production rates.
- the print result in the case of a decorative print on laminate or wood panels may not differ even with different batches, so that uniform floor or wall coverings arise even when using individual elements of different batches or the end customer an invisible exchange of worn or damaged elements is possible.
- the printed image must therefore be reproducible with a consistent appearance.
- the printing result of an inkjet printer is influenced by external factors such as, for example, atmospheric pressure, temperature or atmospheric humidity.
- a printed image has usually been generated at various given image dot screens and the resulting color density measured. Depending on the form of the day, the measured color density will differ as the nature of the individual pixels varies.
- a common approach is now to match the measured per pixel screen real color density by a change of the image dot grid on the desired color density. In other words, a calibration curve is measured which measures each bitmap raster in order to obtain the desired color density.
- the digital image template which assigns a certain area of a certain color to a specific print area of the print image, is then modified via an appropriate software and passed to the inkjet printer.
- the corresponding energy parameters are selected or read out of a relationship between ink ejection energy and drop mass.
- the ink ejection amounts of the selected primary colors are adjusted relative to each other.
- the inking per pixel disadvantageously varies further depending on the daytime form of the ink jet printer.
- US 2003/0234828 A1 proposes a calibration method in order to match the two colors.
- a color mixture is determined which gives the same reflection signal independently of the emission spectra of the measuring sensors.
- a specific expression corresponding to the expression of the color mixture is determined.
- rasters of different color order are printed for each color and compared to an expression of the same color specified for the expression of the color mixture. Both colors are thus calibrated to a common, sensor-independent reference point and thus matched. Again, the single pixel does not matter. Rather, the two colors are matched by a grid adjustment to each other.
- printed images of the same original printed with different image dot screens show a so-called meta-pattern despite the same color density.
- the printed images look identical, for example, to artificial light
- the color impression of one image differs in daylight, for example in the evening light, from the color impression of the other image.
- This is due to the fact that different remission curves of the viewed print images at a certain lighting can produce the same color impression since the human eye is unable to receive each wavelength individually.
- the eye has three color vision areas of different spectral sensitivity.
- the hue summarily perceived by the observer results from a superposition of the light components falling into the eye according to the remission curve and the respective sensitivity of the three color vision areas of the eye.
- the actual difference in color of metameric printed images becomes visible when viewed under a light of different spectral composition.
- the conventional calibration methods do not eliminate this effect.
- the invention has for its object to provide an alternative method for calibrating an inkjet printer, so that a desired print image can be printed as reproducibly as possible and without the occurrence of metamerism, regardless of the day form of the printer. Another task is to specify a corresponding printed product.
- the object of a method is solved for an ink jet printer having a printhead comprising a number of ink ejection nozzles controllable by a control signal according to the present invention by a method of calibration, wherein a single predetermined calibration grid is timed to the intended one color ink jet printer wherein the value of a measuring parameter characterizing the inking is determined on the basis of the printed calibration grid, and wherein the ink ejection quantity per pixel is calibrated to a predetermined standard value by adjusting the determined value of the measuring parameter by adapting the control signals.
- the invention is based on the consideration that the undesired metamerism is a consequence of the change of the image dot matrix for calibration of the color density.
- the invention recognizes that the environmental parameters influencing the daily form of an inkjet printer decisively determine the quantity of ink produced per pixel or per ink ejection.
- the invention recognizes the surprising possibility of calibrating the ink ejection quantity by adapting the control signal leaves. Namely, if the control parameters for ejecting an ink drop are varied, the ejected amount of ink will also vary. However, if the ink ejection is calibrated to an ink ejection amount per pixel, then a reproducible, substantially metamerism-free print image can be achieved because the pixel dot pattern is not changed to adjust the color density.
- the specified method has the further significant advantage that the calibration digital template no longer has to be laboriously adapted, regardless of the form of the day or the type of printer before it is sent to the printer. Because an adjustment of the control signal, the ink ejection quantity per pixel is calibrated so that always printed while maintaining the given by the digital artwork pixel screen with repeatable consistent image quality. By calibrating the ink ejection amount, in particular, the size of the pixels is kept substantially constant, regardless of external factors. The printed images are no longer different, because with the same pixel pattern, the same color order is always generated by a device-side setting change.
- a defined calibration grid is first printed for a color, and the value of a measurement parameter characterizing the inking is determined on the basis of the printed calibration grid.
- a measurement parameter may be, for example, the size, the thickness or the mass of a printed pixel, wherein it is preferred to average over the entire printed image.
- Such a measurement parameter is detected, for example, by determining the thickness or weight difference between the unprinted and the printed underlay.
- the application of paint can also be detected optically by determining the reflection, transmission or remission values.
- each measurement parameter is suitable insofar as it has a dependency on the quantity of ink produced during ink ejection, which ultimately results in the shape, size or thickness of the pixel. Accordingly, by using the detected value for the selected measurement parameter, it is possible to calibrate the ink discharge amount per pixel.
- Another advantage over known calibration methods is the fact that to determine the ink ejection quantity or for calibration, the pressure of a single calibration grid for one color is sufficient. In the case of several primary colors, such as the four primary colors cyan, magenta, yellow and black in four-color printing, wherein the inks of the primary colors have different chemical or physical properties, the pressure of a calibration grid is required for each color. It is not necessary to determine a calibration curve by detecting the printing result with a plurality of calibration screens of different resolution.
- the ink ejection amount is calibrated by adjusting the measurement parameter to a predetermined standard value. This can be done, for example, by changing the control signal, printing it again with a changed control signal and measuring it again, the method being repeated until the desired result has been reached. From this method, empirical values can also be derived, which are used in a renewed calibration for an automated adaptation of the control signal.
- the determined value of the measurement parameter is advantageously compared with a predetermined comparison value and depending on the result calibrated the ink ejection amount per pixel. In other words, it calibrates to a defined reference point.
- An absolute value of the measurement parameter does not matter in this respect.
- the predetermined comparison value relates, for example, to a general or device-specific normalized ink discharge quantity or to an ink discharge quantity of the inkjet printer under defined normal conditions with regard to the environmental parameters. It is also possible to determine the comparison value from a number of values of the measurement parameter measured in advance of the calibration, for example by means of an averaging.
- a color density is determined as the color parameter characterizing measurement parameter.
- the already mentioned color density provides a measure of the brightness or of the darkness of a printed surface, especially in printing technology.
- the color density is thus linked to the proportion of the printed area on the substrate. Therefore, a reliable measure of the characterization of the ink application can be determined from the value of the color density determined on the printed calibration grid.
- the color density is derived from the degree of remission.
- the remission degree indicates the proportion of incident light that is reflected by the surface or printed image.
- the remission degree of an ideal white area is assumed to be one.
- the color density is formed in particular as a decimal logarithm from the reciprocal of the remission degree, resulting in a value of zero in the case of the ideal white area for the color density.
- the logarithmic relationship is chosen in particular to take account of the logarithmic brightness perception of the human eye. If one tenth of the light is reflected, the color density has the value 1.
- the value of the color density for each primary color is preferably determined separately using a printed calibration grid.
- Color density is a common measurement parameter in printing technology. In this respect, it is possible to fall back on known measuring methods when determining the corresponding values of the color density.
- the value of the color density is expediently determined by means of an optical measurement. This can be based on proven measuring technology, such as a densitometer or a spectrophotometer.
- Ink jet printers are available in various embodiments. Thus, in the so-called bubble jet printer, the ink droplets are expelled by the local production of a vapor bubble. Inkjet printers are also known in which the ink droplets are ejected by means of a pressure-valve technique. Also in the aforementioned embodiment variants, the amount of ink ejected per ink droplet can be influenced by an adaptation of the control signal.
- the or each ink ejection nozzle comprises a piezoactuator which is driven by the control signal to eject ink.
- ink ejection is achieved by the corresponding ink ejection nozzle, in particular via a pressure surge.
- the ink is usually conveyed from an associated ink chamber.
- the piezoactuator is excited to move, which abruptly reduces the volume in the ink channel associated with the respective ink ejection nozzle.
- the resulting overpressure then throws an ink drop out of the nozzle.
- the piezoactuator may be associated with the ink chamber or the ink channel. In particular, it can itself be part of the wall of the ink channel.
- a pulse signal is used as the control signal.
- a pulse signal is a signal defined by the magnitude and duration of the pulses and by their chronological sequence.
- An impulse of ink is generated per impulse.
- the pulse signal can basically be both a mechanical and an electrical signal.
- the pulse signal is expediently given by a series of voltage pulses, each voltage pulse causing the piezoactuator to rapidly move to eject the ink drop.
- the height and / or duration of the pulses is adjusted to calibrate the ink ejection amount.
- the ink ejection nozzle is given an adjustment period and an adjustment speed for ejecting the ink drop.
- the ink discharge amount can be regulated or adjusted by adjusting the amplitude or the height and / or the duration of the pulse. Basically, with an increase in amplitude, a larger amount of ink per drop will be expelled.
- Over the duration of the pulse it is possible to influence the vibration behavior of the ink located in the ink channel.
- the vibration behavior affects the meniscus of the ink surface that is at the exit, which in turn alters the amount of ink ejected per drop.
- an extension of the pulse duration within a certain range leads to an increase in the amount of ink per drop.
- the pulse signal may be modulated in a stepwise manner.
- an intermediate level is introduced between the high signal level and the low signal level of a pulse.
- the amount of ink ejected per drop can also be adjusted.
- the control signal is adapted according to a table.
- the table entries can be based on empirical empirical values that were collected and collected in the course of several printing processes.
- the table entries can also be self-learning derived from failed attempts or successful attempts.
- the table entries can also be adapted to changing circumstances caused by wear or aging of the inkjet printer.
- the assignment of defined adjustments of the control signal to determined values of the measuring parameter takes place via the table, so that a simple and rapid adaptation of the control parameters can take place. It can be provided that the changed control parameters are directly specified. Alternatively, it can also be provided that change values for adjusting the control signal are specified by the table entries. In particular, the table is stored in a nonvolatile memory of the printer, so that the calibration can also be carried out automatically after the determined value of the measurement parameter has been entered.
- control signal is adjusted on the basis of the determined value of the measurement parameter by means of a functional relationship.
- the control signal or the control signal describing control parameters is directly correlated with the measurement parameter.
- the corresponding functional relationship is for example determined theoretically or derived empirically from measured values.
- the adaptation of the control signal can be achieved in a simple manner.
- an ink chamber of the inkjet printer is subjected to negative pressure and adjusted by means of the control signal, the negative pressure.
- an adjustable negative pressure in the ink chamber is used to calibrate the ink ejection amount per pixel alone or in addition.
- Such a negative pressure influences the meniscus of the ink which is established in the ink ejection nozzles, whereby a direct relation to the amount of ink ejection per pixel can be seen.
- Decisive here is the difference between the pressure in the ink chamber and the ambient pressure. Lowering the negative pressure generally results in a reduced output per pixel.
- the negative pressure in the ink chamber can be adjusted for example by means of a controllable fan.
- the adjustable range of negative pressure in the ink chamber from ambient pressure is preferably between minus ten and minus fifty millimeters of water.
- the amount of ink ejection per pixel can advantageously be calibrated to a predetermined standard value by tempering an ink of the inkjet printer, the ink temperature being set by means of the control signal.
- a dependence of the viscosity of the ink on the ink temperature is assumed.
- many inks show such an ink temperature-dependent viscosity, which may be inferred from corresponding manufacturers' datasheets.
- Suitable temperature control devices may be heating or cooling devices that are assigned to either the ink chamber, the ink supply lines or the ink jet nozzle.
- the tempering device for example suitable tempering lines
- the walls of the ink-carrying containers themselves can be designed to be temperature-controllable.
- the second object is achieved by a printed product which is printed by a calibrated according to the method described above ink jet printer.
- the advantages mentioned for the method can be transferred analogously to the printed product.
- Such printed products are essentially free of metamerism.
- they are always printed with the screen density defined by the digital artwork. 5 different batches of printed products show no differences in color perception.
- the printed products meet so far the high demands in the industrial production of similar mass-produced goods such as floor coverings, countertops, etc., wherein the respective pad a decorative print is applied.
- FIG. 1 shows schematically an inkjet printer
- FIG. 4 shows a diagram of a voltage pulse.
- FIG. 1 shows an inkjet printer 2 and a base 4 to be printed, which is guided on a roller 6.
- the ink-jet printer 2 comprises a block-type printing head 8 with a number of ink chambers not visible here and a number of ink ejection nozzles 10.
- the ink chambers store inks of different colors, in particular the primary colors black, cyan, magenta and yellow.
- the print head 8 is mounted on a carriage 12, which is movable in a direction of displacement 14 along two guide rods 14. Further, the ink jet printer 2 comprises a control unit 11 for driving the ink ejection nozzles 10.
- the roller 6, on which the pad 4 given here as a sheet of paper is guided, is rotatable about its axis of rotation in a direction of rotation 20.
- the print head 8 of the ink jet printer 2 and the base 4 are moved relative to each other. This means, in particular, that the base 4 is transported by means of a rotation of the roller 6 in a direction transverse to the direction of displacement 14 of the carriage 12 on the print head 8. Simultaneously, the print head 8 is moved by means of the carriage 12 along the direction of displacement 14 back and forth.
- the control unit 11 controls the ink ejection nozzles 10 to eject ink in accordance with the specifications of a dot matrix screen.
- the ink ejection nozzles 10 are for this purpose individually controllable by the control unit 11, wherein the driven ink ejection nozzles 10 each eject an ink drop onto the carrier element 4.
- the openings of the ink ejection nozzles 10 respectively point in the direction of the base 4.
- An ejected ink droplet substantially results in a printed pixel on the substrate 4. Due to the relative movement of the substrate 4 and the print head 8 relative to each other, the ejection of Ink drops in a distribution of the printed pixels on the base 4, which corresponds to the predetermined by a digital artwork pixel grid. The number of pixels, the pixel density and the color of the pixels determine the optically perceptible print image by a viewer.
- the printed base 4 represents a desired printed product 22.
- the image data given by a digital original, which are the basis of the pixel matrix, are read in by the control unit 11 during or before the printing process.
- the digital template is in the form of an electronic storage file of a particular format.
- Fig. 2 shows schematically a print head 8 in a cross-sectional view.
- a number of ink chambers 24 are shown by way of example.
- the exemplified ink chambers 24 each store ink of a different color, eg cyan, black, yellow.
- an ink ejection nozzle 10 arranged on the respective ink chambers 24 is visible in each case.
- Each of the ink ejection nozzles 10 further includes an ink channel 25 whose walls are formed by piezoactuators 26. By an appropriate control, the wall is curved inwards, so that an overpressure in the respective ink channel 25 is generated.
- an electrical voltage in the form of a voltage pulse is applied to the piezoactuators 26 of an ink ejection nozzle 10 via the control unit 11.
- the voltage applied via the voltage pulse causes a deformation of the piezoactuators 26, which leads to a curvature of the wall of the ink channel 25 inwardly, thus there to a reduction of the volume and thus to a pulse-like pressure build-up.
- the ejected ink drop 28 includes a defined amount of ink ejection 29 that generates a pixel when it hits the substrate to be printed.
- the volume of the ink droplet 28 and thus the ink ejection quantity 29 per pixel are set by the control unit 11 to a calibrated value, in particular via an adaptation of the height and the duration of the voltage pulse applied to the piezoactuators 26.
- the volume of the ink drop 28 discharged from the or each ink ejection nozzle 10 of the inkjet printer 2 is affected by external factors such as air pressure, temperature or humidity.
- Such a variation of the ink drop volume results in a corresponding variation in the size and thickness of the printed pixels.
- This has the consequence that the Print image of a dot screen printed at different times appears different to a viewer in optical perception depending on whether the ink discharge amount 29 is lower or higher.
- the ink-jet printer 2 is calibrated in terms of the ink ejection amount 29 per pixel given by the volume of the ink droplet 28 in a timely manner to the intended printing operation. This procedure is shown in FIG.
- a first step A of the calibration process the inkjet printer is first driven with a predetermined calibration grid to print out a defined calibration print image.
- the Kalibrierdruckterrorism is frequency modulated, i. by a temporal modulation of the control pulses during the movement of the print original with respect to the print head.
- a single calibration pressure of one color is sufficient to capture the daily form of the printer.
- next step B the calibration print image is measured.
- the color density of the printout is measured optically by means of a densitometer.
- the value of the color density is determined, which represents a measure of the color order carried out.
- the remission reflected by the printed sheet with a given standard light is evaluated and from this the value of the color density is determined as already indicated.
- step C the measured value of the color density is compared with the expected value of the color density, which should ideally result or which resulted from normalized environmental parameters of the inkjet printer. From the difference of the measured value and the expected value of the color density, a deviation is then determined.
- step D adaptations of the control signal are queried by means of a value table T based on empirical values, in which variation values of the measured color density are assigned change values for the control signal.
- the table values may have been determined directly by previous measurement series, the effects of defined variations of the control signal on the color density being empirically investigated. The table values can also be derived from previous calibration procedures.
- the table values can also be adapted to aging processes of the printer over the course of time since the same changes in the control signal can possibly have changed effects as a result.
- a further step E the queried changes are imposed on the control signal of the color ejection nozzles.
- the printer again generates a color order that corresponds to standard conditions. In other words, the ink ejection amount per pixel and the volume of an ejected ink droplet are calibrated, respectively.
- a step F the result of the calibration can be checked by a test printout with changed control signals according to step A and renewed measurement of the color density. Depending on the result, steps A to F can then be repeated until the desired result is achieved. Finally, with the changed control signals, the print image is generated in step G according to a digital template.
- a printed product meets the strict requirements for reproducibility in the case of a commercial application, and in particular in the case of decorative prints on mass-produced goods.
- the specified calibration method does not result in a computationally required reformatting of the print data before it is sent to the printer, as is the case with conventional calibration methods.
- the print screen is modulated with respect to the original in order to achieve this to achieve the desired result in spite of changed environmental parameters, the control signals are adapted in the present case with unchanged printing grid. In this respect, the technical condition and the type of the printer and not the print file is adjusted.
- FIG. 4 shows in a diagram in a section of a pulse signal 50 a voltage pulse 52 for controlling an ink jet printer driven by means of a piezoactuator.
- the pulse signal 50 has substantially two levels, namely a low level L and a high level H.
- a low level L When the high level L is applied to the piezoactuator or to the corresponding ink ejection nozzle, a compression of the ink channel causes the ejection of an ink droplet of a given volume.
- the high level H is applied to the piezoactuator or to the corresponding ink ejection nozzle, a compression of the ink channel causes the ejection of an ink droplet of a given volume.
- the shape of the voltage pulse 52 about the height 54 of the high level H above the low level L and the duration 56 of the high signal, so the shape of the voltage pulse 52, an adjustment of the volume of the ejected ink drop is possible.
- a calibration of the ink ejection amount per pixel according to the method described above is done in particular by means of an adjustment of the height 54 and the time duration 56 of the voltage pulse 52.
- substantially the height 54 of the applied voltage pulse 52 is raised.
- the time duration 56 of the voltage pulse 52 applied to the piezoactuator By altering the time duration 56 of the voltage pulse 52 applied to the piezoactuator, the oscillation behavior of the meniscus of the ink, which adjusts itself at the mouth of the ink channel, can be changed, so that the drop volume of the ejected ink droplet can likewise be altered.
- the new duration 56 to be set for a given difference in the measured color density is based on empirical values obtained with the respective printer. LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
