  • Patent number: 8869696
    Abstract: A method for adjusting color tones of a printed matter includes: a displaying step of displaying an image of a printed matter on a display apparatus (119) by plate data used when a pattern is printed on a printing plate used in printing performed by a printing press; an adjusting step in which an operator adjusts the color tones of the printed matter while referring to the printed matter displayed on the display apparatus (119); and a reference-image displaying step of displaying a reference image of displaying an image of a printed matter obtained when a supply amount of ink used in the printing is adjusted, for reference. In the adjusting step, the operator adjusts the color tones of the printed matter based on the supply amount of the ink in the printing press while referring to the image of the printed matter displayed in the reference-image displaying step.

  • Patent number: 8132509
    Abstract: In a printed product color misregister amount detection method, a reference register mark including a first color area portion with a predetermined width and a blank portion in contact with the first color area portion is printed in a reference color on a printed product to be printed by a multi-color printing press. A positional shift detection register mark including a second color area portion with a width smaller than that of the first color area portion of the reference register mark is printed in a color other than the reference color to have as a target position a position where the width of the second color area portion falls within the width of the first color area portion of the reference register mark.

  • Publication number: 20110116853
    Abstract: Provided is a method for adjusting color tones of a printed matter. The method includes a displaying step of displaying an image of a printed matter on a display apparatus (119) by use of plate data used when a pattern is printed on a printing plate used in printing performed by a printing press, and an adjusting step in which an operator adjusts the color tones of the printed matter while referring to the printed matter displayed on the display apparatus (119). The method for adjusting color tones of a printed matter includes a reference-image displaying step of displaying a reference image of displaying an image of a printed matter obtained when a supply amount ink used in the printing is adjusted, for reference. In the adjusting step, the operator adjusts the color tones of the printed matter on the basis of the supply amount of the ink in the printing press while referring to the image of the printed matter displayed in the reference-image displaying step.

  • Patent number: 6559874
    Abstract: A driving means 6 is placed below a photoconductor drum 2. The driving means 6 includes first to fourth developing rollers 13A-13D and toner storage chambers 11A-11D. The developing means 6 can be shifted by a developing-device moving motor 9 to bring one of the developing rollers 13A-13D which corresponds to one of liquid toners 12A-12D to be developed in close to the photoconductor drum 2, followed by developing a latent image formed by an exposure. At this time, the distance between one of the developing rollers 13A-13D and the photoconductor drum 2 can be appropriately adjusted. In addition, before the development, meniscus of the liquid toner is quickly formed between the developing rollers 13A-13D and the photoconductor drum 2 by rotating the development rollers 13A-13 at the rotation speed higher than the rotation speed thereof at the development.
