  • Publication number: 20240300249
    Abstract: A print apparatus and print method is provided for patterned fabrics, particularly those with surface variations due to threadings. These threadings may be e.g. stitches and/or bindings arranged in the fabric that create the surface variations which create the pattern. The apparatus/method involves a vision system which detects the threadings at a granular level (e.g. detects individual stitches) and then determines how those stitches have moved due to fabric stretching. The computer and its software adjust the print design (often a color design) to match the distortion/warping of the fabric. In some cases, the printer can print along a line of the stitches at a width not much wider than the stitches at high precision and with precise alignment. The fabric printed may have reference markers to aid in identification of the threadings and a calibration process may be used for the printer to align the print and vision systems.

    Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and systems for dynamically modulating radiation energy in a printing system are disclosed. A system receives data comprising an image pattern for depositing ink on a substrate. The system determines one or more ink properties for the ink configured to be deposited onto the substrate. The ink properties and/or a color of the substrate are used to determine a corresponding energy level value for a radiation lamp. The ink is deposited in the image pattern on the substrate. One or more radiation lamps heat the substrate and the ink, wherein the radiation lamps are configured with the corresponding energy level values.
