  • Patent number: 11884010
    Abstract: A printing method employs a piece of equipment comprising an energy-delivering exciter that is orientable to produce a punctiform interaction with at least one ink that possibly contains non-uniformities and that is deposited on a printing medium including a transparent interaction area, in order to cause the transfer of a targeted portion of the ink to a receiver. The method includes a step of generating a wetting film at least partially covering the transparent interaction area, followed by a step of depositing the ink on the surface of the wetting film and transferring steps.

  • Patent number: 10875322
    Abstract: A device for deposition of particles on a target from a transparent slide having a film formed by a fluid containing suspended particles, by locally exciting the film using a laser, includes means for observing the local excitation region. The observation means comprise a sensor and a light source, the optical axes of which are substantially shared in a space between an optical splitter and the film. The optical beam of the imaging system and the optical beam of the laser are coaxially arranged in the space between the controlled optical deflection means and the film. The device comprises a first focusing optical unit arranged between the controlled optical deflection means and the film. The device comprises a second image-combining optical unit positioned between the sensor and the splitter, the sensor being positioned in the focal plane of the second optical unit.
