  • Publication number: 20240335946
    Abstract: In an example, a method comprises receiving a digital representation of a floor plan to be printed by a surface marking robot guided using a remote guiding system, receiving guiding system position information, and receiving obstacle information identifying an obstacle. The method also comprises identifying a specific floor plan feature of the digital representation which intersects a shadow region of the obstacle from a guiding system point of view, and, in response to this, modifying the digital representation to produce a second digital representation, whereby the specific floor plan feature is either deleted or modified in the second digital representation, the modified floor plan feature excluding at least a portion of the specific floor plan feature in the shadow region. The method also comprises operating the surface marking robot to print the second digital representation using the guiding system.

  • Publication number: 20240300255
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for sublimation printing are described, in which a printed textile medium with a sublimating printing substance on a print side is positioned in correspondence with a heating device, with the print side facing away from the heating device, and a negative pressure is caused on the print side of the textile medium, to cause heated air to flow through the printed textile medium thereby sublimating the sublimating printing substance on the printed textile medium.

  • Publication number: 20220314659
    Abstract: A system to determine a relative position between a moveable part and a working surface is disclosed. The system comprises a controller to control a light emitter from an array of light emitters to emit a signal at a setting, the setting being indicative of a position associated with the light emitter. The controller further to receive a signal from the sensor indicative of the setting. The controller also to determine the relative position between a moveable part and the working surface based on the signal.

  • Publication number: 20220258505
    Abstract: An example apparatus is for printing to a substrate. The example apparatus comprises a printing fluid device and an air flow device. The printing fluid device is for transferring printing fluid to a substrate. The air flow device is to create an air curtain so that any printing fluid residue from the transfer of the printing fluid to the substrate is at least partially prevented from migrating toward a user of the apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20220072888
    Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus to generate heated air to sublimate a sublimating printing substance. The apparatus comprises: a self-regulating heating element; an air retaining device to retain air in the apparatus for heating by the self regulating heating element; and an airflow generating device arranged selectively to urge heated air to leave the retaining device. Also disclosed is a method to sublimate a sublimating printing substance deposited on a printing medium and a system to produce printing content on a printing substrate using a sublimating printing substance.

  • Publication number: 20220055390
    Abstract: Examples relate to methods to print a garment and sublimation devices. A sublimation device comprises a heating system to heat an air flow and a holder to receive a garment. The holder comprises an outer surface to contact an inner side of the garment opposite to an outer side of the garment in which a print agent is to be deposited and an opening on the outer surface in fluid communication with the heated air flow.

  • Publication number: 20210354493
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of sublimation printing, a heating system for sublimation printing and a printing device. The method of sublimation printing comprises generating an air flow through a print medium on which a printing substance is deposited and heating the air flow to a temperature at or above a sublimation temperature of the printing substance.
