Abstract: An image identification method for printing on rigid substrates includes the steps of: defining a digital graphic design representative of a rigid substrate to be produced; spreading a soft layer of granular or powder ceramic material on a deposition surface; pressing the soft layer to obtain a compacted layer; acquiring a real image of the compacted layer, detecting keypoints of the real image; comparing the keypoints of the real image with keypoints of an image obtained or derived from the digital graphic design; and calculating a portion of the digital graphic design corresponding to a portion of the real image. An image identification system for printing implementing the described method and a corresponding printing method/system are also described.

Abstract: Plotter for digital printing, including



a main structure, arranged to be rested on a support surface;
a printing head, associated with the main structure and movable along a substantially horizontal transverse direction, for a predetermined stroke in alternating and opposite directions;
a transport device, arranged to lead a material to be printed forwards along a longitudinal direction which is substantially horizontal and perpendicular to the transverse direction.




The transport device is removably associated with the main structure by means of connection means. The connection means is arranged to assume an operating configuration, in which the transport device is connected to the main structure in a substantially rigid manner with respect to direct movements along the longitudinal direction and with respect to direct movements along the transverse direction, and a non-operating configuration, in which the transport device is movable with respect to the main structure.
