    摘要: A printing system, including a first printing part, a second printing part that is disposed downstream of the first printing part in the conveying direction of a medium, and a conveyance mechanism that conveys the medium The conveyance mechanism includes a passage detection sensor, a conveyor roller, and a resist roller that is disposed downstream in the conveying direction from the passage detection sensor and the conveyor roller, that is butted by the medium, and that conveys the medium slackened due to the butting. The printing system further includes a controller configured to control the conveyor roller so that the slack amount of the subsequent medium is constant based on the conveyance status of the preceding medium and the detection time of the leading edge of the subsequent medium detected by the passage detection sensor.

    摘要: A modular textile printing apparatus is made up of multiple modules which are combined together. Each module has one rail for bearing a printing functional unit such as a print head. A second rail perpendicular to the first rail faces the first rail, and carries a printing tray or platen holding items to be printed. The tray moves along the rail. A third rail parallel to said second rail and facing away from the printing functional unit, is also for carrying the tray. The modules are connected together and the apparatus provides a starting point for loading and unloading the trays. The second rails are aligned with each other to form a continuous printing feed along the modules and the third rails are aligned to provide a return path after printing to the starting point for reloading.
