Abstract: Disclosed is an industrial single-pass inkjet printer/press incorporating a line-scan camera. The line-scan camera enables system software to inspect every sheet for quality assurance purposes. These inspection results are tied back to a digital printer to take one or more of several possible actions. Actions include ensuring a particular number of acceptable prints are generated and sorted. Actions further include performing nozzle checks without pausing or interrupting production orders.

Abstract: Introduced here is a system for optically tracking displacement with high precision across one or more axes. To track displacement of an object, images that are generated by a plurality of optical sensors can be compared against one another. For example, images that are generated by a first optical sensor can be compared against images that are generated by a second optical sensor. Because the first and second optical sensors are in a fixed spatial relationship with one another, displacement of the object can be established based on the degree to which a given image generated by the first optical sensor matches another image generated by the second optical sensor.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include a printer having a printing area configured to receive distinct mediums, and printer heads arranged relative to the printing area. The printer heads are collectively configured to print independent images onto the distinct mediums. The printer heads include at least one shared printer head configured to simultaneously print portions of the independent images onto each of two adjacent mediums.
