摘要: A method for detecting defective printing nozzles in an inkjet printing machine includes printing a multi-row printing nozzle test chart formed of horizontal rows of equidistant vertical lines periodically underneath one another, with only printing nozzles in a print head contributing to every row of the test chart corresponding to the horizontal rows. An area coverage element geometrically associated with the test chart is printed, both elements are recorded by an image sensor and analyzed by the computer. The computer analyzes the recorded area coverage element to detect print defects and allocates defects to a region of geometrically close printing nozzles. An analysis of the test chart in the region identifies nozzles causing the defect. Defective printing nozzles are detected based on thresholds, the detected printing nozzles are then compensated, and in the analysis of the recorded area coverage element, influences of the sensor are eliminated by shading correction.

摘要: A method for detecting and compensating for defective printing nozzles in an inkjet printing machine by using a computer, includes shrinking the height of a digitally available image to the image height of a print control strip by using the computer while the image width remains uninfluenced, printing the shrunk digital image onto a printing substrate, recording the printed shrunk digital image by using at least one image sensor, comparing the recorded image with the shrunk digital image by using the computer, detecting defective printing nozzles for the digital image by using the computer based on the comparison and compensating for the detected defective printing nozzles. The digital image is printed onto the following printing substrate by using defective printing nozzle compensation.

摘要: A method corrects for defective printing nozzles in an ink jet printing machine via a computer. The defective printing nozzles are compensated for after the screening process by neighboring printing nozzles applying an increased amount of ink. The method includes precalculating different compensation halftones for different area coverages by the computer, printing the compensation halftones embedded in area coverage halftone areas, evaluating the printed compensation halftones via the computer, and selecting and saving, for every area coverage level, the compensation halftone that best matches the coloration of the original halftone in the respective area coverage halftone area. A defective printing nozzle is detected during production printing by the computer. The local area coverage is determined along the detected defective printing nozzle by the computer. The compensation halftone that has been saved for the determined local area coverage is used to compensate for the defective printing nozzles via the computer.

摘要: A method for compensating tone value fluctuation in inkjet printing includes generating multi-bit halftone images of pixels on a computer during prepress screening for color separations with multiple tone values out of print image data, forwarding multi-bit halftone images to a control unit of an inkjet printing machine, and printing the multi-bit halftone on the machine, wherein encoded binary values of multi-bit halftone images correspond to ink drop sizes to be generated by the machine. The computer introduces additional binary values of multi-bit halftone images not corresponding to ink drop sizes in pixel positions of multi-bit halftone images where occurring tone value fluctuations are to be compensated for by modified ink drop sizes, causing additional binary values to be ignored by the machine in a regular print mode, and assigning additional binary values to modified ink drop sizes in a correction print mode.

摘要: A method for detecting and compensating for failed printing nozzles in an inkjet printing machine by using a computer, includes printing a current print image, recording the printed print image by using an image sensor and digitizing the recorded print image by using the computer, adding digitized color values of the recorded print image of every column over the entire print image height and dividing the added-up color values by the number of pixels to obtain a column profile, subtracting an optimized column profile without failed printing nozzles from the original column profile to obtain a differential column profile, setting a maximum value threshold defining a failed printing nozzle when exceeded, applying that maximum value threshold to the differential column profile to obtain a resultant column profile every maximum of which marks a failed printing nozzle. The marked printing nozzles are compensated in a subsequent printing operation.

摘要: The printing apparatus includes: a time-division driving unit configured to divide a plurality of printing elements into a plurality of blocks, and between a target reference signal and the next reference signal, drive the plurality of printing elements at a time interval for each of the blocks on a basis of the target reference signal to thereby perform one column of printing, wherein the time-division driving unit drives, in a case where in a first column, a time after the target reference signal is acquired and until the next reference signal is acquired is shorter than a time required for one column of printing, the plurality of printing elements so that a time required for printing the second column in which the next printing is performed becomes shorter than a time required for one column of printing in the first column.
