  • Publication number: 20240010016
    Abstract: A method of stabilizing a marking process speed in a printing system, the printing system including a vacuum transport belt and at least one sheet onto which marking material is directly applied to print sheets, the method including printing an image on the sheet, receiving, from a sensor, data related to the image, determining, based on the data, at least one actual dimension of the image, determining if the at least one actual dimension of the image is equal to a target dimension of the image, and if the at least one actual dimension is not equal to the target dimension, adjusting one or more components of the printing system.

  • Patent number: 8418299
    Abstract: A web cleaning system includes one or more conductive electrostatic cleaning members that may be grounded or electrically biased, and form an electric field. The conductive cleaning member opposes a conductive backing member that may be grounded or electrically biased. The conductive cleaning member contacts the web as it translates through the cleaning system, and charged debris on the web is affected by the electric field formed by the cleaning member.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8031364
    Abstract: A printing system includes a control system which processes an input print job to place it in a form for printing on a print engine. A user interface, in communication with the control system, is configured for receiving, from a user, adjustments to at least one geometric parameter for images of the print job to be applied to front and back sides of a sheet, whereby the geometric parameter is adjustable for the front and back sides independently. A print engine renders the print job on print media in accordance with received adjustments to the at least one geometric parameter.
