  • Laser finishing design tool with image preview
    Patent number: 11592974
    Abstract: A tool allows a user to create new designs for apparel and preview these designs before manufacture. Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. Based on a laser input file with a pattern, a laser will burn the pattern onto apparel. With the tool, the user will be able to create, make changes, and view images of a design, in real time, before burning by a laser. Input to the tool includes fabric template images, laser input files, and damage input. The tool allows adding of tinting and adjusting of intensity and bright point. The user can also move, rotate, scale, and warp the image input.

  • Printing apparatus and printing method for suppressing contamination on recording medium
    Patent number: 11590764
    Abstract: An image is printed on the front surface M1 by discharging the inks to the front surface M from the discharge heads 321 (first head) facing the front surface M1 (recording surface) of the printing medium M from above. Thus, the inks discharged from the discharge heads 321 partially become mist to possibly produce ink mist. Accordingly, the ink cover 51 (first cover) is arranged between the discharge heads 321 and the front surface M1 of the printing medium M before the discharge heads 321 discharges the inks to the printing medium M. By providing the ink cover 51 for the front surface M1 of the printing medium M before printing in this way, the adhesion of the ink mist to this front surface M1 can be suppressed.
