Description
IN-LINE INTEGRATED RAISED PRINTING
BACKGROUND
[0001] Thermographic or raised printing utilizes post-process techniques. Typically, thermographic printing is performed by removing a print medium from a printer and utilizing off-line processes to generate the raised printing. The off-line processes can include additional equipment and specialized methods such as thermal processing that includes specialized powder. Accordingly, the off-line processes to generate the raised printing increases the time and cost for generating the raised printing.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0002] Figure 1 illustrates an embodiment a printer.
[0003] Figures 2A-C illustrates embodiments of raised printing.
[0004] Figure 3 illustrates an embodiment of a method for in-line integrated raised printing.
[0005] The drawings referred to in this description should be understood as not being drawn to scale except if specifically noted.
DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
[0006] Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present technology, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. While the technology will be described in conjunction with various
embodiment(s), it will be understood that they are not intended to limit the present technology to these embodiments. On the contrary, the present technology is intended to cover alternatives, modifications and equivalents, which may be included within the spirit and scope of the various embodiments as defined by the appended claims.
[0007] Furthermore, in the following description of embodiments, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present technology. However, the present technology may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well known methods, procedures, components, and circuits have not been described in detail as not to unnecessarily obscure aspects of the present embodiments.
[0008] Figure 1 depicts an embodiment of printer 100. In general, printer 100 is configured to print an image on print medium 102. In one embodiment, printer 100 comprises print engine 101 .
[0009] Print engine 101 is configured for performing a plurality of
separations, and generating a height of an in-line integrated raised print based on the performing the plurality of separations without requiring off-line printing activities, which will be described in further detail below. In one
embodiment, print engine 101 utilizes an electro-statographic printing process.
[0010] In one embodiment, print engine 101 includes a photo imaging plate (PIP) 104, an ITM 108 or blanket cylinder, and impression roller 1 14.
[0011] Operationally, PIP 104 or photoreceptor is given a uniform charge by at least one charge unit 1 10. This uniform charge is selectively discharged to form a latent electrostatic image by, for example a light beam shown as a dashed line, which scans across PIP 104 as it rotates in the direction shown. The selective discharging on PIP 104 forms a latent image that corresponds to an image which is to be printed by print engine 101 . Liquid toner is optionally discharged from at least one binary image developer (BID) 106 which adheres to the appropriately charged areas of PIP 104, thereby developing the latent image.
[0012] The developed image is first transferred to ITM 108 and heated on ITM 108. The developed image is then transferred, in a second transfer, to a print medium 102 (e.g., paper).
[0013] PIP 104 is optionally discharged and cleaned by a
cleaning/discharging unit 1 12 prior to recharging of PIP 104 in order to start another printing cycle. As print medium 102 passes by ITM 108, the image located on surface 1 16 of ITM 108 is then transferred and affixed to print medium 102. Affixation of the image to print medium 102 is facilitated by
locating print medium 102 on surface 1 18 of impression roller 1 14, which applies pressure to print medium 102 by compressing it between impression roller 1 14 and ITM 108 as the image is being transferred to print medium 102. Eventually, print medium 102 bearing the image exits printer 100. Printer 100 can be, but is not limited to, a sheet-fed printer, a web-fed printer, an HP Indigo press, etc.
[0014] In one embodiment, each BID 106 contains a different color toner, for use in producing multi-color images. However, in various embodiments, BIDs 106 units are not used for depositing toner on PIP 104 and other development methods and/or other image formation methods are used. It should be understood that the foregoing print engine description is provided by way of example only, and that print blankets described herein are suitable for use with a variety of liquid toner print engines.
[0015] Also, in one embodiment, ITM 108 is maintained at a suitable voltage and temperature for electrostatic transfer of a toner image thereto from an image-bearing surface, such as a photoreceptor surface. The image is then transferred from ITM 108 onto a print medium 102 by heat and pressure.
[0016] It should be appreciated that printer 100 can generate an image on print medium 102 by other printing means that are well known in the art.
[0017] Printer 100 is able to create a "raised print." In general, a raised print involves raising a surface of ink above the image level (e.g., above the
surface of the print medium) or generating an appearance that the surface of the ink is above the image level to create a textural and/or visual effect.
[0018] Printer 100 is able to generate in-line integrated raised printing based, in part, on the same printing processes as described above. In other words, printer 100 generates a raised print by a plurality of linked printing processes solely by printer 100. That means that printer 100 creates a raised print without requiring off-line printing activities. Accordingly, no special press set-up or off-line activities are required in order to create a raised print.
[0019] In contrast, conventional raised printing methods require that the raised printing be generated by off-line processes. For example, a raised print is created by thermal process using special powder via several off-line stations.
[0020] In particular, printer 100 creates the raised printing by performing a plurality of separations in series without reinsertion of print medium 102. In various embodiments, the raised printing is accomplished by adjusting the process parameters (e.g., pressure, temperature, voltage, etc.) with respect to print engine 101 .
[0021] In one embodiment, raised printing can be performed in conjunction with embossing. Additionally, no special set-up is needed such as, molds, dies, which may be required in embossing methods.
[0022] Figures 2A-C depicts embodiments of raised print that is created by printer 100. Figure 2A depicts print medium 202, raised print 210 and image 220. In this embodiment, image 220 is a CMYK image that is printed onto print medium 202 by a "regular" printing process, as described in detail above. CMYK refers to the four inks used in color printing: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black.
[0023] To create the raised print effect, raised print 210 is printed above image 220. Raised print 210 can be, but is not limited to, a transparent ink (e.g., digital matte ink), varnish, etc.
[0024] Raised print 210 can be generated by a plurality of printed
separations. In other words, a plurality of layers and print repetitions creates raised print 210.
[0025] The number of repetition/layers can be defined by the user in order to achieve a desirable quality. For example, the user can decide to print from 1 up to 64 layers or more for a desired quality.
[0026] Figure 2B depicts raised print 210 printed directly onto print medium 202 by raised print methods and image 220 is printed on top of raised print 210 by regular print methods. In one embodiment, raised print 210 is opaque ink (e.g., white ink).
[0027] Figure 2B also depicts duplex printing of a raised print. For example, raised print 212 is printed on the opposite side of print medium 202 than raised print 210. Also, image 222 is printed on top of raised print 212.
[0028] Figure 2C depicts image 220 printed onto print medium 202. Raised print 210 is selectively printed onto image 220. In this embodiment, raised print is a spot color or a basic color formed as a raised area. It should be understood that raised print 210 can be selectively disposed in any pattern that is compatible with creating a raised print effect.
[0029] Figure 3 depicts an embodiment of method 300 for in-line integrated raised printing. In various embodiments, method 300 is carried out by processors and electrical components under the control of computer readable and computer executable instructions. The computer readable and computer executable instructions reside, for example, in a data storage medium such as computer usable volatile and non-volatile memory. However, the computer readable and computer executable instructions may reside in any type of computer readable storage medium. In some embodiments, method 300 is performed at least by printer 100, as depicted in Figure 1 .
[0030] At 310 of method 300, a plurality of separations are performed. For example, a plurality of separations are performed by printer 100 to generate raised print 210.
[0031] At 320, a height of an in-line integrated raised print is generated based on the performing the plurality of separations without requiring off-line printing activities. For example, a height of in-line integrated raised print 210 is created based on the plurality of separations performed. In particular, the height of in-line integrated raised print 210 is generated without requiring offline printing activities such as using off-line thermal processes.
[0032] In one embodiment, the height of raised print 210 is determined by user input. For example, if a user requests that 50 layers are performed, and each layer is 1 μιτι, then the raised print will have a height of 50 μιτι.
[0033] In one embodiment, at 322, a height of transparent ink is generated above an image. For example, with reference to Figure 2A, raised print 210 (e.g., transparent ink) is disposed on top of image 220.
[0034] In one embodiment, at 324, a height of transparent ink is generated below an image. For example, with reference to Figure 2B, raised print 210 (e.g., transparent ink) is disposed below of image 220. In another
embodiment, at 326, a height of opaque ink is generated below an image. For example, raised print 210 (e.g., opaque white ink) is generated below image 220.
[0035] In a further embodiment, at 328, height of selectively disposed ink is generated above an image. For example, with reference to Figure 2C, raised print 210 (e.g., selectively disposed ink) is generated above image 220. In
another embodiment, at 329, a height of raised print 210 (e.g., YMCK ink) is generated above image 220.
[0036] At 330, a design file comprising an image and an area of the in-line integrated raised print is prepared. For example, a user generates a design file that includes image 220 and an area of in-line integrated raised print 210.
[0037] At 335, a height of the in-line integrated raised print is set. For example, a height of 50 microns is set at the height of the in-line integrated raised print 210. It should be appreciated that the height is indicative of the number of layers or separations.
[0038] At 340, an image associated with the in-line integrated raised print is printed. For example, image 220 is printed by regular methods by printer 100 and is associated with raised print 210.
[0039] At 345, a height of an in-line integrated raised print is generated on a second surface of print medium without requiring the off-line printing activities. For example, with reference to Figure 2B, a duplex of raised print is
generated. In such an example, raised print 212 is printed on an opposite of print medium 202 than raised print 210.
[0040] Various embodiments of the present invention are thus described. While the present invention has been described in particular embodiments, it should be appreciated that the present invention should not be construed as
limited by such embodiments, but rather construed according to the following claims.
