Abstract: There is provided a multi-slot die coater in which a step is formed between rear surfaces of die blocks through a fixing block having a step portion. The fixing block has the step portion of a preset height, and any one die block is coupled to the step portion and the other die block is coupled to the other portion than the step portion, and thus the step is naturally formed between the rear surfaces of the die blocks by the coupling of the die blocks to the fixing block. Thus, it is possible to always maintain the distance of the front ends of the die blocks and the substrate, since the fixing block is fixed between the die blocks, once it is set, the coating gap does not change and is maintained during the process, thereby suppressing the widthwise coating gap deviation.

Abstract: An estimation system provides consumable use estimations, such as for ink or toner, in printing operations. The estimation system uses a classification-based consumable use process to estimate the consumable use. A print job is assigned a classification category according to an arbitrary job category selected for the print job and a job property defined for the print job using job settings. An estimate is provided using the classification category and the distribution of the consumable use for print jobs in the category. The estimate is adjusted by a consumable use adjustment factor that reflects the amount of ink or toner disposed of during container replacement or wasted during printing operations.
