Definitions

  • the substrate After each impression of a strip or part of the strip, the substrate is advanced the space between two strips or part of a strip for printing the strip or part of the strip next. Printing can be done on the way simply or back and forth from the movement of the print head relative to the substrate.
  • the data to be printed could not be in the form of binary files, but as files containing words from several bits, to translate the fact that each position of the substrate can receive several drops ink of the same color.
  • the main printing faults which are generated by all printing systems known, are the defects relating to lineages in the direction of relative movement of the print head by relation to the substrate. This defect results in the appearance of light or dark lines when printing by successive scans.
  • faults can be in the space between two bands which should in principle be equal to the interval between adjacent drops of a frame, or inside of the same band, in the space delimiting the zones printed by different jets, or even inside the pattern printed by a jet at the level of the space between two adjacent drops of the frame.
  • These faults of lineage can come either from defects specific to some jets from the print head, these are then mechanical or electrical faults, either substrate positioning errors, or positioning error between printheads, or still between jets from the same printhead.
  • Various solutions have been proposed to limit or eliminate lineage issues, but all are translate either by a limitation of the rate sometimes very high ratio vis-à-vis the nominal printing rate, either by redundancy of print heads and therefore a cost important.
  • the average amplitude of this noise voltage will depend on the rank j of the drop in the frame.
  • the maximum amplitude of the voltage additional noise will be equal to a fraction less than 1 of the smallest difference between the nominal voltage Vj to be applied to the drop of row j and the nominal voltage VJ + 1 or Vj-1 to be applied to one of the two drops immediately adjacent in the frame printed with a drop of row j, i.e. drops of row j + 1 and of row j-1.
  • the amplitude of the tension additional noise will correspond to a value random numeric generated by an algorithm of pseudo random number generation.
  • the correspondence between the random numerical value and additional noise voltage will result from applying this numeric value to digital to analog converter. The regular defect of dark or white lineage will no longer appear or will appear less.
  • part B we have shown two frames. These two frames are located in all the frames forming a band immediately consecutive to the strip of frames represented in part A. Normally bands A and B are spaced one of each other by a distance equal to the equal distance between two adjacent drops of a salvo.
  • the distance between the printheads according to the direction Y and possibly along direction X on the one hand sufficient drying time between deposition of different ink colors and allows on the other hand, to ensure an overlay order same colors same when printing is performed during the return and return of the head printing.
  • the detector 12 is placed on the edge of the substrate 27, in the vicinity of the print head 25 located in second position in all the heads.
  • the second position is understood by counting the heads in the direction Y in advance of the substrate 27.
  • the first head is the one that is most upstream by relative to the direction of travel of the substrate.
  • the detector detects a possible deviation of the mark 51-2 from its nominal position.
  • the heads 25 are find on the side of the second edge 53.
  • the substrate is advanced.
  • Detector detects deviation possible of the mark 51-3 in relation to its position nominal.
  • a correction taking into account this difference is applied to load the black head drops which will overlay the first strip, on the yellow head Y which will print the second strip and magenta and cyan heads which will print respectively the third strip and the mark 51-4 followed by the fourth strip.
  • motor advance control of substrate may include a servo which holds account for deviations in advance of the substrate.
  • This enslavement known to those skilled in the art could be "proportional integral and derivative" type, that is to say that it takes into account the actual differences, their cumulation and of their variation over time in order to avoid drifts.
  • the detector 12 is mechanically coupled to the table 30 immediately downstream of the heads 25.
  • the 51-1 mark is always printed at the end of scanning.
  • the odd rank marks are all on the side of the second edge 53 and that the even rank marks are all on the first side edge 52.
  • the algorithm will be designed to deliver in average for at least three quarters of the values generated for drops with a number of frames greater than one predetermined quantity, a value less than a third of the difference between the nominal voltage to be applied to the charge electrodes for said drop and the nominal voltage to be applied to the charging electrodes for one of the two immediately adjacent drops of the frame.
  • the quotient of number of times the sign of the voltage value additional algebraic is positive the number of total additional voltages will average on a large number of additional values equal to 1 ⁇ 2. That reflects the fact that, on average, a drop of rank j will be moved away from its central position corresponding to zero additional random voltage, with the same probability towards higher ranking gout or towards drop of lower rank. For the end drops it will be a deviation outwards or towards the drop closest to the frame.
  • the deviation from the nominal position will be calculated by the calculator 34, from the calculation of the projection position of the barycenter of the mark 51 on an X axis parallel to advance of the substrate.
