Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of printing, a printer, and computer readable medium in application with the before mentioned method and printer.
  • Large format media printers may comprise a conveyor of sufficient width to conveying multiple print substrates of smaller formats in parallel past a printing assembly in a transport direction. Therein a plurality of such small format print substrates are conveyed in parallel past a printing assembly in the transport direction, such that these print substrates can be together printed as they pass in parallel through a print region of the printing assembly. While loading the print substrates onto the conveyor, the print substrates are aligned with respect to the printing assembly, so that each image will be printed on its respective print substrate in the correct orientation and/or position and/or has the correct dimension(s). It was found that in practice it may occur that one or more print substrates become mispositioned or erroneously loaded during loading, resulting in the image being printed incorrectly (e.g. skewed or mispositioned) on the respective print substrate. Generally, such incorrectly printed prints are discarded as waste and a re-print is required.
  • a method of printing according to claim 1, a printer according to claim 9, and a computer-readable medium according to claim 12 are provided.
  • the method comprises the steps of:
  • productivity may be maintained, while reducing waste material if incorrectly oriented, positioned, and/or dimensioned print substrates are allowed to pass the printing assembly without printing an image thereon, while allowing for printing on correctly oriented, positioned, and/or dimensioned print substrates provided in parallel.
  • determining the orientation, dimension, and/or position of each print substrate before or as it reaches the printing assembly it is possible determine whether a respective print substrate is incorrectly oriented, positioned, and/or dimensioned with respect to the printing assembly.
  • Any suitable reference with respect to the printing assembly such as the transport direction and/or lateral direction may be used for determining an angle, position, or dimension of a substrate.
  • the respective, deviating print substrate passes the printing assembly without being printed on, while respective images are printed on other print substrates parallel to the respective deviating print substrate, if these other print substrates were determined to be orientated, positioned, and/or dimensioned in correspondence with the respective reference.
  • Printing on non-deviating print substrates thus continues without interruption (i.e. without stopping or pausing the print process as compared to regular operation), while any deviating print substrate remains blank, so that it can be re-used for printing. Thereby, waste is prevented or reduced without reducing productivity.
  • An additional advantage is that printing on non-deviating substrates may continue uninterrupted, so that print artifacts due to stopping or pausing the print operation are avoided. Thereby the object of the present invention has been achieved.
  • the print substrates are provided in parallel, such that these, at least partially, overlap with one another when viewed in a lateral direction of the conveyor perpendicular to the transport direction.
  • the lateral direction is further perpendicular to a support plane of the conveyor and/or to a print surface of the planar print substrates.
  • the respective image data is processed, resulting in the printing of images on the respective, correctly oriented, positioned, and/or dimensioned print substrates.
  • a conveyance speed of the conveyor is the same or similar as to when all print substrates on the conveyor are non-deviating.
  • the conveyor may operate on a constant, average speed without interruption, which may include the conveyor moving stepwise.
  • the image data for non-deviating substrates is printed uninterrupted as any deviating substrate passes the printing assembly without printing thereon.
  • printing is only prevented for print substrates in the print region of which the detected orientation, dimension, and/or position deviates from the respective reference.
  • Print substrates which were determined to be correctly oriented, positioned, and/or dimensioned, i.e. deviating from the reference by less than a predetermined threshold, are printed on as previously scheduled.
  • the print substrates are distributed on the conveyor over a plurality of lanes, which lanes are posited besides one another in the lateral direction.
  • every lane is provided with aligning means for registering a print substrate in the respective lane with respect to the reference.
  • the aligning means may comprise a aligning surface oriented with respect to the reference.
  • the aligning means may comprise a straight surface extending parallel to the transport direction, which is perpendicular to the lateral direction in which the printing assembly extends.
  • the respective reference is with respect to the transport direction and/or the lateral direction. Every lane is provided with aligning means, so that in each lane a print substrate can be easily and quickly registered, so that it conforms to the reference.
  • the aligning means may be removable to accommodate large format media.
  • the method further comprises the step of delaying the printing of an image initially assigned to a print substrate which was determined to deviate from the respective reference until a following, similar print substrate is conveyed to the printing assembly in an orientation and/or position and/or having a dimension conforming to the respective reference.
  • the corresponding image data is re-scheduled into a print queue, so that it is to printed at a later time.
  • the actual printing of said image data is performed when it has been determined that a corresponding print substrate has been provided on the conveyor in the correct orientation, dimension, and/or position.
  • This print substrate may be the original print substrate after reloading it onto the conveyor or a different print substrate with the same properties, such as dimensions and/or materials.
  • the method further comprises the step of an user interface prompting that that a print substrate deviates from the respective reference.
  • the user interface communicates deviating substrate information, so that an operator is informed which of the print substrates is in a skewed orientation, has an incorrect dimension, and/or is in the wrong position. This allows the operator to re-use the deviating print substrate.
  • the user interface may further comprise additional information, such as a time schedule for the deviating print substrate to e.g. arrive at the output side of the conveyor, and/or instructions in which lane and when to reload the deviating print substrate on the conveyor.
  • the invention further relates to a printer comprising :
  • the detector assembly is arranged to determine an orientation, dimension, and/or position of each individual print substrate on the conveyor with respect to the print assembly.
  • the conveyor preferably has a lateral width of over 2 meters, more preferably over 2.5 meters, and very preferably over 3 meters, so that multiple normal or small format print substrates may fit lateral besides one another on the conveyor.
  • the conveyor consist preferably of a single transport belt for holding all print substrates.
  • the detector assembly for example a camera or line scanner, determines position data for each print substrate, which is transmitted to the controller.
  • the controller compares the position data to the reference to determine whether a respective substrate is deviates or not with respect to the printing assembly or its predefined size.
  • the controller controls the printing assembly so that no ink is printed on deviating substrates in contrast to non-deviating print substrates provided parallel to a deviating print substrate on the conveyor.
  • the controller 12 has determined, based on data received from the sensor assembly, 8 that the print substrate M2 in the second lane L2 is skewed with respect to the transport direction X and/or the lateral direction Y. Digitally correcting the to be printed image data to align with the skewed substrate M2 would require pausing printing on all print media M1-M4 until, the image data has been corrected for the respective skew angle. In the shown example however, the controller 12 prevents printing on print substrates M1-M4, which have been determined to be skewed with respect to the transport direction X. Printing continues on any print substrate M1-M4 that was determined to be aligned with the transport direction X and/or the lateral direction Y. It will be appreciated that any other suitable reference other than the directions X, Y may be applied as well.
  • Fig. 5 further indicates that the user interface comprises an indicator 17B that prompts or informs an operator of a print medium M1-M4 have been determined to be skewed.
  • the indicator 17B comprises a light positioned at the respective lane L2, which lights up as a print medium M2 in said lane L2 was found to be skewed.
  • the indicator may be prompted on a screen of the user interface, for example on a mobile device or computer. This allows the operator to retrieve the unprinted substrate M2 and re-use it in another print process.
  • the controller 12 stores the image data that was assigned to the skewed print substrate M2 into its memory 33, 34.
  • Fig. 8 schematically illustrates the image queue to be printed on the print substrates M1-M4 in Fig. 4 .
  • Image date I1 to I4 have been input to the controller 12 and are assigned to be printed in their respective lanes L1-L5.
  • the controller 12 instructs the operator which print substrates M1-M4 are to be loaded in which lane L1-L5. Loading may take place as the belt 4 moves, so that the leading edges of the print substrates M1-M4 do not have the same position in the transport direction X.
  • the sensor assembly 8 determines for each print substrate the relative position in the transport direction X, the lateral position Y, and the orientation (corresponding to e.g.
  • the image data 11-14 in the image queue is adjusted, so that the image data I1-I4 are shifted in the print queue relatively to one another, so that the printing of each image data 11-14 would coincide with the respective substrate M1-M4 arriving at the printing assembly 7.
  • the relative shifting of image data I1-I4 is illustrated in Fig. 9 .
  • the image data I5-I8 for upstream print substrates M5-M8 are preferably already scheduled in the print queue at a predetermined spacing from their respective leading image data 11-14, NP. After the positions and orientations of the upstream print substrates M5-M8 have been detected, the upstream image data I5-I8 is shifted accordingly.
  • the image would be printed visibly skewed with respect to the edges of the respective print medium M1-M4.
  • a corresponding rotational correction generally requires re-processing the image data via the image processing unit 39, which would require a substantial amount of time in which the belt 4 would have to be stopped, thereby halting print production.
  • the conveyor is controlled to continue moving the belt 4 and thereby all print media M1-M4 on it, while preventing printing on any print substrate M2 that was determined to be skewed. This allows the printing on non-skewed substrate M1, M3, M4 to continue without interruption.
  • the controller 12 may utilize the user interface 11, 17B to indicate a loading position LP, where the previously skewed print substrate M2 may be re-inserted.
  • the previously skewed print substrate M2 is inserted in the second lane L2.
  • the controller 12 Upon determining that a suitable print substrate M2 for the image I2 is available on the belt 2, the controller 12 re-schedules the image data I2 from its memory into the print queue at the corresponding position LP, as illustrated in Fig. 11 . Since the respective print substrate M2 has now been correctly aligned, the image data I2 will be printed on said print substrate M2.
  • the image data I2 could in another example have been assigned to be printed on the print substrate M9 (which has similar dimensions and/or materials as the previously skewed print substrate M2).
  • the image data I9 originally scheduled for print substrate M9 would then be re-assigned to the re-inserted print substrate M2. This would aid in conserve the original order in which images were scheduled to be printed.
  • Fig. 12 illustrates an example wherein an unprinted substrate M2 has been positioned offset with respect to its reference position RP on the belt 4.
  • the controller 12 defines a reference position RP for each substrate M1-M4 on the belt 4.
  • the operator is instructed to load the substrates M1-M4 on the belt 4 aligned with their respect reference positions RP.
  • the substrate M2 is not skewed and its reference position RP is defined in the in-plane directions X, Y. Due to a loading error, the substrate M2 has been offset with respect to its reference position RP in the transport and/or lateral directions X, Y.
  • the sensor assembly 8 is arranged to detect the position of each substrate M1-M4, for example by determining the position of one or more edges of the substrates M1-M4.
  • the detected position for each substrate M1-M4 is compared to its respective reference position RP by the controller 12.
  • Substrates M1, M3, M4 are determined by the controller 12 to be aligned with their reference positions within a predetermined margin.
  • Substrate M2 however deviates from its reference position RP in both the transport and lateral directions X, Y by more than a predetermined threshold value. Consequently, the controller 12 prevents printing on the mispositioned substrate M2, while the respective image data on the parallel substrates M1, M3, M4 are printed, as all substrates M1-M4 move past the printing assembly 7.
  • Movement of the substrates M1-M4 may be stepwise or continuous.
  • the print jobs for printing the image data on the aligned substrates M1, M3, M4 are printed as a single uninterrupted print process, as shown ion Fig. 13 .
  • Uninterrupted herein may include swathwise printing wherein the printheads move reciprocally over the substrates M1-M4.
  • the image data for mispositioned substrate M2 is stored on memory for later use and non-printing or blank image data is inserted into the image data set, where said image data was originally scheduled.
  • Fig. 14 the printing of the aligned substrates M1, M3, M4 has been completed.
  • Each image on the substrates M1, M3, M4 was printed in a regular print process, wherein each swath was positioned with the same or similar timing with respect to the previous swath. However, in the respective section of each swath which overlapped with the mispositioned substrate M2 no marking material was deposited, so that the mispositioned substrate M2 remained unprinted.
  • the controller 12 defines a new reference position RP for the unprinted substrate M2, which is communicated to the operator via the user interface 11.
  • the operator positions the unprinted substrate M2 at the reference position RP.
  • the controller 12 Upon determining that the unprinted substrate M2 is positioned correctly at the reference position RP, the controller 12 retrieves the image data for the substrate M2 from memory and schedules this image data, so that it is to printed on the substrate M2, as it passes the printing assembly a second time. During its second pass, the substrate M2 is positioned in between a new batch of substrates M9-13 on the belt 4.
  • Fig. 16 illustrates the controller 12 comparing a detected dimension of each substrate M1-M4 to a reference dimension RD.
  • all substrates M1-M4 have already been determined to be non-skewed as well as being positioned at their reference positions RP.
  • the substrate M2 was found to deviate from its predetermined reference dimension RD.
  • the reference dimension RD is a size, length, and/or width preferably defined in the transport and/or lateral directions X, Y.
  • the controller 12 Upon determining that the substrate M2 deviates from its reference dimension RD, the controller 12 prevents printing on the deviating substrate M2, while still allowing the substrate M2 to move in parallel with the other substrates M1, M3, M4. All substrates M1-M4 move stepwise past the printing assembly 7 which in an uninterrupted process prints the respective images on all substrates M1, M3, M4 except for the deviating substrate M2, which is kept blank or unprinted, as shown in Fig. 17 . The print process for the printed images in not stopped or paused, so that all swaths of the printed images are printed in a substantially homogenous process. In Fig. 18 , the controller 12 defines a reference dimension for a new substrate M14, which is to input at the position indicated on the user interface 11, as shown in Fig. 19 .
  • controller 12 may prevent on any substrate M1-M14 which deviates from its respective reference, wherein the reference comprises one or more of a reference orientation, a reference positions, and a reference dimensions, in any order or combination.
