Abstract: A system and method are provided wherein, in at least one form, artificial intelligence is used to identify objects in a document to be considered for metallic rendering or printing on a substrate. Then, the options for printing, including the considerations for rendering in metallic toner or ink, are, in at least one form, presented to the user for acceptance or rejection before the actual printing is initiated.

Abstract: According to aspects of the embodiments, there is provided a method of determining the amount of fountain solution employed in a digital offset lithography printing system. Fountain solution thickness is determined by examining optical density of some halftone or solid patch versus laser current level. The apparatus and method uses a variable current signal to dither or perturb the laser imaging system to irradiate a fountain solution layer to create patches at different laser current levels. An aptly programmed controller then process optical density measurements to indirectly estimate fountain solution level.

Abstract: An anti-curl system 1 including a printer configured to deposit a liquid ink and an anti-curl composition onto a print substrate, wherein the liquid ink includes a colorant and is configured for deposit on the print substrate to form a print image, and wherein the anti-curl composition does not include a colorant and is configured for deposit on a non-print area of the print substrate, wherein the non-print area of the print substrate includes at least a portion of a non-print margin area configured for non-deposition of the liquid ink and deposition of the anti-curl composition.

Abstract: A system and method for applying an overcoat to a printed image on a substrate generally includes a radiative source that transmits electromagnetic radiation within a predefined wavelength range to the printed image on the substrate to be absorbed by the printed image and heat the printed image to a predetermined temperature range, a depositing device that deposits an overcoating powder onto the heated printed image, the overcoating powder having a melting point within the predetermined range such that upon deposition thereof, the overcoating powder adheres and/or melts onto the heated printed image, and a residual powder removing device that removes any residual overcoating powder not adhered to the printed image or the substrate.

Abstract: According to aspects of the embodiments, there is provided a method of determining the amount of fountain solution employed in a digital offset lithography printing system. Fountain solution thickness is determined from diagnostic images that are printed and analyzed using the existing Image Based Controls (IBC). An analysis of the density of solids, halftones, and background as a function of the fountain solution control parameter is performed to decide on the appropriate level of fountain solution. A latitude window of control parameters is then derived for which the digital offset lithography printing system in operation minimizes the undesirable effects of too much or too little fountain solution.
