Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a digital printing device for printing and, more particularly, but not exclusively to a digital printing device for printing on textile surfaces, with pre-printing treatment to improve the textile as a printing surface.
  • Digital ink jet printing employs a printing head having several ink injectors, each injector applying one color, a controller for coordinating relative motion between the printing head and the printed substrate and for instructing the ink injectors when and where precisely to inject ink.
  • a digital printing system may comprise several printing heads working concurrently, wherein a printing head may comprise hundreds of injectors of the same color.
  • USA patent application 2005-0179708-A1 discloses a pre-printing assembly for wetting the substrate prior to printing.
  • This wetting sub-system typically comprises an array of spraying nozzles that applies a wetting composition over the textile surface to be printed.
  • This wetting composition interferes with the engagement of the ink with the material to be printed so as to limit the spread of the ink over, or within, the material.
  • the above is useful for printing over materials that usually cause the ink to smear and spread over the material, such as fibrous materials, porous materials and other ink absorbing materials, and materials having high surface tension with the ink liquid.
  • an opaque white layer is printed on the garment as an undercoat that covers exactly the dark surface under the printed image and does not extend beyond the area of the image to be printed by the color ink.
  • the colored image is then digitally printed over the undercoat.
  • the undercoat may also serve as white color or white highlight where needed.
  • Wetting may optionally be applied prior to printing of the colored image if performed on white or light colored fabric.
  • a fabric generally consists of fibers, which are woven together.
  • the fibers of the weave tend to have smaller fibers extending outwardly from the fibers of the weave.
  • drops of ink are jetted from printer nozzles to land at specific points on the fabric.
  • the outwardly extending fibers tend to intercept the drops along their paths so that drops do not reach their precise targets, or not in their entirety. The result is a blurring of the image.
  • non-woven fabrics such as felt also have hairs which stand out from the plane of the fabric and to which the same considerations apply.
  • the present embodiments thus provide a printing machine, which causes outwardly extending fibers to stick to the fabric before printing, and thereby provides a smoother plane for printing.
  • a flattening unit presses on the fabric of an item to be printed to flatten the fibers of the fabric after wetting and before printing.
  • Such an operation of flattening after wetting and before printing presses the extending fibers against the fabric and keeps the extending fibers adhering to the fabric during printing so that they no longer interfere with the paths of the ink drops.
  • the thin fibers no longer stand out from the fabric or catch drops of ink on their way to the fabric.
  • Such a process of pressing may also have the effect of eliminating the need for ironing the textile before printing.
  • a digital printing machine for printing textiles, the textiles comprising fabric woven within a plane, the fabric comprising fibers extending outwardly from the plane, the machine comprising:
  • the flattening unit is located between the wetting unit and the printing head.
  • the flattening unit causes the outwardly extending fibers to stick to the fabric.
  • Embodiments may comprise a printing table assembly for bringing the fabric to be printed under the flattening unit while the fabric is wet from the wetting unit, thereby causing the fibers to stick to the fabric.
  • An embodiment may comprise a controller for coordinating relative motion between the printing table-assembly and the flattening unit.
  • the flattening unit comprises one member of a group consisting of a polymeric or metal curtain, a metal or polymeric roller, an Air knife, a Polymeric squeegee made of PVC, silicone, viton, polyurethane, neoprene or Natural rubber, a thin flexible metal squeegee or a brushing strip.
  • the flattening unit is located on a side to be printed of the fabric.
  • the flattening unit further comprising a pressure regulation mechanism for regulating flattening pressure applied to the fabric.
  • the pressure regulation mechanism for the fabric is one member of a group consisting of a counter balance, adjustable mechanical spring and a pneumatic adjustable pressure unit.
  • the fabric to be printed is a garment.
  • the fabric is a one member of the group consisting of felt, leather, suede, fibrous materials, porous materials, materials having high surface tension with the ink liquid, weaves, weaves of natural fibers, weaves of synthetic fibers, weaves of natural and synthetic fibers, weaves comprising mixtures of natural and synthetic fibers, weaves comprising wool, cotton, linen or nylon.
  • the printing head comprises a plurality of inkjet nozzles for performing digital printing; wherein the inkjet nozzles further comprise a drop-on-demand piezoelectric inkjet nozzle or a continuous piezoelectric inkjet nozzle.
  • the printing machine is a carousel.
  • the printing machine is a matrix.
  • An embodiment may comprise additional printing heads and/or additional flatting units and/or additional wetting units.
  • the flattening unit is releasably tensioned to press on the table for the flattening.
  • a method of digital printing on fabric comprising:
  • the exerting flattening pressure after the wetting is to an extent sufficient to cause outwardly extending fibers of the fabric to adhere back to the fabric, thereby to provide a smooth surface for printing.
  • the printing is performed while the fibers continue to adhere to the fabric.
  • An embodiment may comprise adjusting the flattening pressure in accordance with a type of fabric being printed.
  • Implementation of the method and/or system of embodiments of the invention can involve performing or completing selected tasks manually, automatically, or a combination thereof.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a digital printing machine with a wetting unit, a flattening unit and a printing head, according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 a is a schematic diagram of an exemplary printing machine with a roller-flattening unit according to a further embodiment of the present invention.

  • the present embodiments thus provide a digital printing machine for textiles, that presses and flattens the face of the fabric to be printed after wetting and before printing, when the fabric is still wet from the wetting process. Pressing causes uniform spread of the wetting solution and the outwardly extending fibers of a textile fabric to adhere to the fabric through surface tension due to the wetting, which adhering lasts until printing. Pressing may be provided by a flattening unit. The flattening unit applies or exerts mechanical pressure on the fabric to flatten the fibers of the fabric after wetting and before printing. Adhering the fibers to the fabric at this stage may eliminate the need for ironing the textile before printing.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a digital printing machine with a flattening unit according to embodiments of the present invention.
  • a digital printing machine 100 for printing textiles may comprise garments or other textile items made of fabric woven within a plane, the fabric itself comprising fibers extending outwardly from the plain.
  • the fabric may be based on any conventional or unconventional textile material.
  • the fabric may for example comprise felt, leather, fibrous materials, porous materials, materials having high surface tension with the ink liquid, weaves of natural and synthetic fibers, weaves of mixtures of natural and synthetic fibers, natural fibers including wool, cotton, linen and synthetic fibers including nylon or suede.
  • the fabric is essentially planar with smaller fibers, hairs, extending outwardly from the plane.
  • the machine comprises a wetting unit 101 for wetting an item to be printed prior to printing. Wetting is performed for ink drop immobilization, thus limiting the penetration of the ink into the depth of the fabric, which may cause dull coloring of the garment, mixing of colors and blurring.
  • a printing head 103 prints on the item to be printed.
  • a printing head comprises at least one inkjet nozzle (not shown).
  • the printing head can be any conventional printing head, such as those marketed by Spectra, Inc., New Hampshire, USA, and others known in the industry.
  • the outwardly extending fibers intercept the drops from the nozzle before they arrive at their intended destinations, as discussed above.
  • Pressing or flattening unit 102 may be located between wetting unit 101 and printing head 103 , though other locations are possible. Pressing or flattening unit 102 exerts mechanical pressure on the item to be printed to flatten the outwardly extending fibers to the fabric after wetting and before printing. Flattening unit 102 may employ static pressure. Flattening unit 102 may be disengaged from the item to be printed (not shown) after flattening has been completed. The pressure of flattening unit 102 on the fabric, after wetting and before printing, causes the extending fibers or hairs to bend back towards the fabric before printing. The water from the wetting unit provides the fabric and the fibers with enough liquid to keep the outwardly extending fibers to temporarily remain stuck to the fabric. The fibers sticking to the fabric render the fabric as a smoother surface for printing without any interference of outwardly extending fibers.
  • Flattening unit 102 may be any construction that mechanically presses the fibers to the fabric as the fabric passes the unit.
  • Flattening unit 102 may be implemented using for example a downwardly pressing curtain such as a PVC curtain, a mechanical roller such as a metal or polymeric roller, an Air knife, a squeegee, including for example a polymeric squeegee such as PVC or Natural or artificial rubber, silicon and, a thin flexible metal squeegee, a brushing strip and the like.
  • Flattening unit 102 may replace the ironing unit (not shown), since there may be no need to iron the fabric.
  • Flattening unit 102 may be adjusted before flattening for achieving a desired level of pressure. For example, different types of fabric or different levels of wetting may require different levels of pressure. Such pressure adjustment may be performed by using a counter balance (not shown), adjustable mechanical spring (not shown) or by pneumatic pressure adjustment (not shown).
  • the item to be printed may be a garment or any other fabric, such as leather or suede.
  • Printing head 103 comprises an array of inkjet nozzles for performing digital printing.
  • the inkjet nozzles may comprise a drop-on-demand piezoelectric inkjet nozzle or a continuous piezoelectric inkjet nozzle.
  • Additional heads may provide post-printing and may comprise, a curing unit for curing ink, an ironing unit for ironing the item to be printed, or a heat press.

  • unit 622 could alternatively be a screen-printing station, in which case the wetting and digital printing units would be moved one station further along.
  • FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing a view from the side of a textile-printing machine according to the present embodiments.
  • Printing machine 500 comprises a wetting unit 501 , a roller type flattening unit 502 , and a printing head 503 .
  • a garment first passes the wetting unit 501 , then is pressed when wet by the roller type flattening unit 502 and finally is printed under the printing unit 503 , while the area being printed is still wet from the wetting unit and the fibers around the textile material still adhere to the underlying fabric.
  • FIG. 6 is a simplified flow chart illustrating an exemplary printing process for printing on a dark textile, using digital printing machine with a flattening unit according to the present embodiments.
  • a white undercoat may be printed on the garment prior to printing the image.
  • extensive wetting may be needed before printing the white undercoat.
  • extensive wetting of the garment is performed before printing the white undercoat.
  • a process 700 of wetting, flattening and printing is shown which is suitable for dark colored backgrounds.
  • the garment is extensively wetted by a wetting unit in order to limit absorption of the ink by the fiber.
  • a flattening unit exerts pressure on the item to be printed in order to flatten outwardly extending fibers to the fabric after wetting and before printing.
  • the opaque undercoat is printed.
  • digital printing of the image on the wetted opaque layer is carried out by expelling drops of ink from nozzles of the printing head to desired points on the fabric, for example using the CMYK color system. Since the fibers of the fabric have been flattened and are clinging to the fabric surface, the fibers no longer intercept the ink drops and the drops thus land where intended on the fabric, leading to sharper printing.
  • FIG. 7 is a schematic side view showing in greater detail an exemplary digital printing machine comprising an exemplary flattening unit in operative state.
  • Digital printing machine 700 comprises chassis 704 , scan axis 703 and flattening assembly 706 .

  • Construction 710 holds the wetting spray units 702 .
  • Rigid arm 707 is attached to counterweight 708 which is here embodied as a variable counterbalance.
  • Regulated counterbalance 708 imposes a required level of flattening pressure on flattening unit 701 .
  • Reversible attachment unit 711 comprises a piston that brings the flattening 701 squeegee into contact with the printing substrate and detaches it after flattening.
  • Counterbalance 708 regulates the pressure on the flattening unit to press against tray 705 for flattening and detaches the flattening unit from tray 705 after flattening and before printing.
  • Arm 707 of the flattening unit is hinged in order to allow pressure regulation unit 708 to regulate the weight applied to the garment.
  • Attachment detachment unit 711 may transfer the pressure to the flattening unit when switched on. Adjusting the pressure on flattening unit 701 may be done for achieving a desired level of pressure. For example, different types of fabric or different levels of wetting may require different levels of pressure.
  • Wetting unit 702 is used for wetting the item to be printed (not shown) before flattening. Wetting may be done, for example, by using water or acid solution optionally composed with wetting additive.
  • Flattening unit 701 is shown in operative mode flattening the item to be printed (not shown) after wetting and before printing.
