METHODS FOR DETERMINING POSITION OF OBJECT TO BE PRINTED IN DIGITAL PRINTER}

The present invention relates to a method for determining the position of a to-be-printed object of a digital print, and more particularly, to accurately position a to-be-printed object at a real printing position of a digital printer to prevent work inconvenience and waste of the to-be-printed material due to a printing position error. The present invention relates to a method of positioning a to-be-printed object of a printer.

Digital printers were introduced in Korea in 1998, and Japan's tile-only printers were the first of its kind. The product developed with domestic technology was Yetek's LifeJet 100, released in October 2000. Since 2002, late comers have begun to form the domestic digital printer market.

These digital printers are special printers suitable for small quantity production of various types of products, and do not require any special process during printing, and spray ink while moving the table or inkjet head on which the substrate is placed, so that glass, vinyl, wood, metal, tiles, etc., having a thickness of 10 cm or less You can easily print the image you want. Recently, various types of finished products such as garments, scarves, handkerchiefs, as well as wood, leather, synthetic leather, plastics, stationery, ornaments, and any dyeable materials are used without limitation.

However, the conventional digital printer as described above has the following problems.

First, as described above, the printing process of the digital printer is performed while the table is moved or the inkjet head is moved when the print is fixed to the table. Therefore, the printout is not fixed at the correct position or the position of the ink jet head is changed. There is a problem that the print position is different. In particular, when the power is turned on again or the print setting is changed during the operation of the digital printer, the printing position is often changed.If the printing position is changed in this way, the printing process must be stopped and the position of the printed matter must be readjusted. Since the to-be-printed image has already been printed, the time required for the printing process is increased and the to-be-printed material is wasted.

In addition, the digital printer can print a desired image on the surface of various printing materials, but requires a separate dedicated program for each material (type). In other words, if the type or form of printing material is changed, a dedicated program corresponding thereto must be purchased separately. However, a dedicated program developed for each printing material has a problem in that it is difficult to handle even by graphic professionals, and thus, it is inconvenient to use and expensive.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for positioning a to-be-printed object of a digital printer that can easily accurately position the to-be-printed place at the actual printing position of the digital printer without using a separate dedicated program.

In order to solve the above problems, the method for determining the position of the print object of the digital printer according to the present invention includes attaching a first test sheet to the transfer table, and having a plurality of grooves corresponding to the shape of the print object on the first test sheet. Printing the edited tray image in the same size and shape as the formed tray, placing a tray matching the tray image printed on the first test paper on the first test paper on which the tray image is printed, and Fixing the to-be-printed in the groove of the tray overlying the printed first test paper and printing the actual image on the surface of the to-be-printed.
According to the present invention, a method of determining a position of a to-be-printed object in a digital printer includes attaching a second test paper to a transfer table when the tray is changed or the digital printer is restarted, and corresponding to the shape of the to-be-printed on the second test paper. Printing the edited tray image in the same size and shape as the tray having a plurality of grooves, placing a tray matching the tray image printed on the second test sheet on the second test paper on which the tray image is printed; Fixing the to-be-printed in the groove of the tray, the tray image being placed on the printed second test paper, and printing the actual image on the surface of the to-be-printed object.

In the method of determining the position of the to-be-printed object of the digital printer according to the present invention, since the image is printed on the test paper before the printing process is performed, the position of the tray to which the to-be-fixed object is fixed is corrected. Waste of printed matter can be prevented in advance.

In addition, the method for determining the position of the to-be-printed object of the digital printer according to the present invention determines the position of the tray so that the edited image is printed on a test sheet using a general-purpose program instead of a dedicated program, thereby reducing the cost for purchasing a dedicated program. There is no need for retraining to use the program.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention in which the above object can be specifically realized are described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In describing the present embodiment, the same designations and the same reference numerals are used for the same components, and additional description thereof will be omitted in the following.

1 is a view showing a state in which a test sheet according to the present invention is attached to a transfer table of a digital printer.

As shown in FIG. 1, the test sheet 20 is first attached to the transfer table 10 of the digital printer before starting the printing process. The test paper 20 attached to the transfer table 10 is fixed to the transfer table 10 by a tape, an adhesive, etc. as a paper satisfying a certain standard, for example, A3, A4 or the like. Of course, the size of the test paper 20 is not limited, and the material is not limited as long as the material can be printed on a surface such as cloth or vinyl in addition to paper.

The transfer table 10 to which the test paper 20 is attached is a flat plate frame installed in a digital printer and configured to move back and forth by a conveyor belt (not shown) when printing. Is placed (see Fig. 2).

2 is a view showing various structures of a tray according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the tray 30 is a device provided for fixing the to-be-printed object 40 such as a ballpoint pen, a lighter, a golf ball, etc., and a plurality of grooves in which the to-be-printed material 40 is inserted and fixed thereto. 31) is formed. The groove 31 formed on the upper surface of the tray 30 may have various shapes according to the type of the to-be-printed object 40. For example, as shown in FIG. 2A, the tray 30 manufactured to fix the ballpoint pen, which is the to-be-printed object 40, has a shape in which a groove 31 formed on an upper surface thereof can be inserted with a ballpoint pen, and is illustrated in FIG. 2B. As described above, the tray 30 manufactured to fix the golf ball as the to-be-printed object 40 has a hemispherical shape so that the groove 31 formed on the upper surface thereof can be inserted into the golf ball.

When the tray 30 is used, the plurality of to-be-printed materials 40 are inserted into and fixed to the grooves 31 of the tray, respectively, so that the printing work for the plurality of to-be-printed materials 40 is carried out at the same time. The tray 30 is placed on the transfer table 10 without the need for directly fixing a small to-be-printed object 40 such as an adhesive tape or the like to the upper surface of the transfer table 10, and the to-be-printed object 40 is placed in the tray ( Inserting into the groove 31 formed on the upper surface of 30, the fixing of the to-be-printed object 40 is completed, so that the time required for the printing process is shortened.

Next, an image for determining the position of the tray 30 to which the to-be-printed object 40 is fixed to the test sheet 20 attached to the transfer table 10 is printed.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating editing of an image to be printed on a test sheet using a general-purpose program, and FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating various forms of images printed on a test sheet.

The image printed on the test sheet 20 is edited using a general-purpose program such as Photoshop or Illustrator as shown in FIG. 3, and then the transfer table 10 as shown in FIG. 4. ) Is printed on the test paper 20 attached thereto.

When the image edited using the general-purpose program is printed on the test sheet 20 as described above, the position of the image printed on the test sheet 20 indicates the actual printing position of the digital printer. The position at which 40 should be placed is determined.

In detail, the image printed on the test sheet 20 may be an image edited to the same size as the tray 30. In this case, an image of the same form as the tray 30 is printed on the test sheet 20 so that the position where the actual tray 30 should be placed is visually confirmed immediately. Since the tray 30 is customized to the shape and size required according to the type of the printed matter 40, the image having the same size as the tray 30 can be easily used by using a general-purpose program such as Photoshop or Illustrator. I can edit it.

In addition, when the ball pen-shaped groove 31 or the hemispherical groove 31 is formed on the upper surface of the tray 30 as described above, the test paper 20 may be attached to the test paper 20 as shown in FIG. 4A or 4B. The corresponding image, that is, the ball pen-shaped image I 1 or the circular image I 2 may be edited and printed. In this case, the position of the image printed on the test sheet 20 becomes the position where the groove 31 of the tray should actually be placed.

FIG. 5 is a view showing a state where the tray is positioned in accordance with an image printed on a test sheet.

When the edited image is printed on the test sheet 20 as described above, the tray 30 is placed on the test sheet 20 so as to match the printed image. Hereinafter, in the description, it is assumed that the tray 30 is a tray manufactured to fix the ballpoint pen, and the ballpoint pen-shaped image I 1 as shown in FIG. 4A is printed on the test paper 20. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, the tray 30 is positioned so that the ballpoint-shaped image I 1 printed on the test sheet 20 and the groove 31 formed on the upper surface of the tray 30 coincide with each other. Let's do it. Accordingly, the tray 30 is placed at the actual printing position of the digital printer. Of course, the ballpoint pen, which is the to-be-printed object 40 fixed to the groove 31 of the tray, is also placed at the actual printing position of the digital printer.

Here, the tray 30 is preferably made of a transparent material so that the operation of matching the position of the groove 31 of the tray with the image printed on the test paper 20 can be easily performed. When the tray 30 is made of glass or transparent plastic material, the user can easily check whether the position of the groove 31 of the tray matches the position of the image printed on the test sheet 20.

When the operation of matching the position of the tray 30 with the image printed on the test paper 20 is completed, the tray 30 using tape or adhesive so as not to change the position of the tray 30 during printing due to an external impact or the like. To the transfer table 10.

FIG. 6 is a view showing a state where a ballpoint pen as a to-be-printed object is inserted into a groove of a tray. FIG.

Next, the to-be-printed object 40 on which the actual printing operation is to be performed is fixed to the tray 30 fixed to the transfer table 10. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, when the tray 30 is a tray manufactured to fix the ball pen, a ball pen, which is a to-be-printed object 40, is inserted into the plurality of grooves 31 formed on the upper surface of the tray 30, respectively. Is fixed.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an actual printed image edited using a general-purpose program, and FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an actual image printed on a surface of a ballpoint pen which is a to-be-printed object.

Next, as illustrated in FIG. 7, the image I 3 to be printed on the actual to-be-printed object 40 is edited using a general-purpose program. Since the image I 3 to be actually printed on the to-be-printed object 40 is a relatively simple letter, number, or figure, it can be easily edited using a general-purpose program such as grape shop or illustration without using a dedicated program as in the related art.

As such, when the image I 3 to be actually printed is edited using a general-purpose program, a print command is issued to print the actual image I 3 on the surface of the to-be-printed 40 fixed to the tray 30, that is, the ballpoint pen. . Specifically, when a print command is issued, the transfer table 10 starts moving and passes through the digital printer. At this time, ink is ejected through an inkjet nozzle (not shown) to print the object 40 as shown in FIG. 8. The actual image I 3 is printed on the surface of the ballpoint pen.

On the other hand, when the printing operation for the ball pen is completed and the printing operation for a new printed matter, for example, if you need to perform a printing operation for the golf ball can be fixed to the golf ball to the tray 30 to secure the ball pen Replace with the tray 30 to proceed with the printing. At this time, the printing position may be changed when the print setting is changed for the printing operation for the golf ball. As described above, the process of determining the position of the tray by printing the edited image on the test paper 20 is repeated. It is preferable to. Of course, when the test paper 20 is dirty and the image is not clearly printed, the operation of replacing the test paper 20 may be preceded.

In addition, even if a print job is performed on the same to-be-printed, the printing position may change when the digital printer is restarted. Therefore, even in this case, it is preferable to repeat the process of determining the position of the tray 30 by printing the edited image on the test sheet 20.

9 is a flow chart showing a method for positioning a print object in a digital printer according to the present invention.

The method of determining the position of the print object of the digital printer according to the present invention described above will be briefly described once again with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 9.

First, the test sheet 20 is attached to the transfer table 10. The size of the test paper 20 is not particularly limited as described above, but is determined in consideration of the size of the tray 30 and the like.

Next, the edited image is printed on the test sheet 20 using a general-purpose program. The image printed on the test sheet 20 may be edited in various forms according to the size of the tray 30 or the shape of the groove 31 formed on the upper surface.

When the image is printed on the test paper 20, the tray 30 is positioned to exactly match the printed image, and the tray 30 is fixed with tape or adhesive so that the tray 30 does not move during printing. When the positions of the images printed on the tray 30 and the test sheet 20 are matched as described above, the tray 30 is placed at the printing position of the actual digital printer.

Next, the to-be-printed object 40 is fixed to the tray 30, and the actual image is printed on the surface of the to-be-printed material 40. For example, to print a specific image on the surface of a ballpoint pen or golf ball, a to-be-printed object 40, such as a ballpoint pen or golf ball, is inserted into a groove 31 formed on the upper surface of the tray 30 to fix the general image program. By editing an image to be actually printed on the surface of the to-be-printed object 40 and then giving a print command, the actual image is printed on the surface of the to-be-printed material 40.

On the other hand, when the size or shape of the tray 30 is changed or the digital printer is restarted, the operation of printing the edited image on the test paper 20 and matching the position of the tray 30 with the position of the printed image is repeated. Perform. Of course, if this situation does not occur, the to-be-printed object is removed from the tray 30 and the new to-be-fixed object is fixed to the tray 30 to perform the print job again.

The present invention described in detail above is not limited to the above-described range, and those of ordinary skill in the art can easily change or replace the scope of the present invention, as well as equivalents thereof. Also included within the scope of the present invention.
