Abstract: A system for binding books includes a flexible binding material in the form of a stud having top and bottom caps. The stud is inserted into signature staples that protrude from the body of the signature to form stud holes. The binding material can be any material that is extremely flexible, including silicone, metals, etc., as long as it allows the signatures to open in a lay-flat manner either at the signature interfaces or in the body of any signature. The flexible binding material can also be used to temporarily bind pre-punched pages of a book by inserting the flexible binding material into the pre-punched holes to facilitate lay-flat opening of the book.

Abstract: It is desirable to cover up or mask the stitch joint error. This invention provides systems and methods for indexing the position of a sheet of recording medium conventionally and then measuring the position of the sheet of recording medium accurately by a sensor. Data in the printhead is shifted so that the data is accurately aligned within a predetermined pixel accuracy to the known paper position. This invention covers up the resulting stitch joint error by modifying the pixels at the stitch joint interface to mask the apparent error.

Abstract: The pages of a book being held at least partially open may be sequentially automatically turned over from one side of the book to the other by pivoting an elongated arm from one side of the book toward the other and turning over individual pages with a vacuum head pivoting relative to the elongated pivoted arm about a different pivot axis as the elongated arm moves to reduce undesirable forces on the individual book pages being turned over. The vacuum head may initially pivot to bend the edge of an individual page up away from the book, to aid in page separation, and then subsequently differently pivot to help peel the same page gently away from the vacuum head and flip it over onto the opposite side of the book. This may be assisted by moving frictional belts on the vacuum head.

Abstract: A method for printing in an image forming system is disclosed. The method, in combination with an apparatus printhead, suppresses defects in printed images. When an image forming system prints an image or group of images in a swath by swath manner, there is a tendency for minor printing defects to arise based on poor alignment of the printhead or ink ejectors, or an error in the instruction software. The printing defects can be defects such as unwanted white spaces or lines, or unwanted bold areas or overlapping swath edges. The present invention utilizes the edges of the swaths to insert a stitch line between the swaths having a different number and size of pixels printed, to allow for modification of the stitch line after measuring an actual advance of a printing medium between each instance of a swath. The same image data line provides the instructions to print both the first and second portions of the stitch line, between each swath.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种用于在图像形成系统中打印的方法。 该方法与设备打印头相结合，可以抑制打印图像中的缺陷。 当图像形成系统通过条带方式在幅条中打印图像或图像组时，存在基于打印头或墨水喷射器的对准不良或指令软件中的错误而出现小的打印缺陷的趋势。 打印缺陷可能是诸如不需要的空格或线条之类的缺陷，或不需要的粗体区域或重叠的条纹边缘。 本发明利用条带的边缘在具有不同数量和尺寸的像素印刷的条纹之间插入针迹线，以允许在测量每个条纹之间的打印介质的实际前进之后对缝合线进行修改 。 相同的图像数据线提供在每个条之间打印针迹线的第一和第二部分的指令。
