    Abstract: Disclosed is a label application device for applying a label to an object. The label application device comprises a media roll holder configured to secure a media roll, a tamp arm configured to move from a retracted position to an extended position, and a print head located between the media roll holder and the tamp arm. The print head is configured to receive the media roll, feed the media roll into the print head, and eject the media roll. The tamp arm comprises a tamp pad attached to an end of the tamp arm. The tamp pad comprises a vacuum port configured to suction the media roll against the tamp pad. The tamp arm further comprises a blade attached to the tamp arm. The blade is configured to cut the media roll as the tamp arm moves from the retracted position to the extended position.

    Abstract: A printing method using an ink ejection head and a robot to perform printing while the robot arm scans the ink ejection head, the printing method including steps of performing a first printing by ejecting ink from a first nozzle array in a state in which the relative position of a distal end of the robot arm with respect to a proximal end of the robot arm is at a predetermined position, moving the ink ejection head relative to a target object such that a second nozzle array is disposed at the same position as the first nozzle array during the first printing and a relative position of the distal end of the robot arm is at the predetermined position, and performing a second printing while the robot arm scans the ink ejection head relative to the object along the same scan trajectory as during the first printing.

    Abstract: A printing device includes: a thermal head; and a processor. The thermal head includes a heating element. The processor is configured to perform: (a) creating; and (b) driving. The (a) creating creates print data based on image data representing an image to be printed on a printing medium. The (b) driving drives the heating element to apply heat to the printing medium according to the print data. The processor is configured to further perform: (c) determining. The (c) determining determines whether to create a plurality of labels for lamination using at least one printing medium including a first printing medium. The first printing medium is transparent and includes a plurality of heat-sensitive layers laminated together. Each of the plurality of heat-sensitive layers is configured to develop a different color when heat is applied from the heating element. The (c) creating is performed in accordance with a determination result in (a).

    Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a pattern correction unit configured to change a mutual positional relationship among a plurality of divided pieces of first image data obtained by dividing first image data representing a first pattern formed in a fabric to generate corrected first image data having a center made up of four corners of the first image data, a pattern extracting unit configured to compare the corrected first image data with second image data generated by imaging the fabric to extract a pattern region corresponding to a second pattern represented by the corrected first image data from the second image data, a printing image generation unit configured to arrange third image data representing an image to be printed overlaid on the first pattern so as to match a region having centers of the pattern regions as four corners to generate printing image data, and a printing control unit.
