Hybrid printing device

Abstract

The invention provides a hybrid printing device which can speed up the printing speed on performing the two kinds of printing modes such as pattern printing mode and another printing mode. This hybrid printing device comprises a pattern printing part which prints a printing sheet by pressing the sheet to a plate cylinder with a master made based on desired image information, wound around the outer peripheral surface; and an inkjet printing part which prints the printing sheet by a different printing method from that of the pattern printing part as an imaging part of the other method. A common printing image area, common to every printed matter, of a digital image manuscript and a specified image area, desired to be variably printed, of every printed matter, are automatically assigned to the pattern printing part and the inkjet printing part.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a hybrid printing device capable of printing with different printing methods on a recording medium. Background technique [0002] For example, because the stencil printing device can print at high speed and has low running cost, it is widely used for printing various notices and official documents in the cultural and educational market, government departments, civil organizations, hospitals, etc. Printed materials such as advertisements, real estate advertisements, and contact documents in private enterprises. [0003] The printing method of the stencil printing device is to roll the original plate (printing plate) based on the image information and the stencil base paper made by perforation plate making on the outer peripheral surface of the plate cylinder, supply ink from the inside of the plate cylinder, and pass the pressure wheel at the same time. The press mechanism presses the printing paper, which is the record...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the price of a linear inkjet head that can cover the entire area of ​​the printed image area is very high, and there is a problem that even if a part of the hole is clogged to cause a failure, it will cause a large cost loss.

[0012] In the hybrid printing device disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-334993, the inkjet printing section can be moved in a direction perpendicular to the printing paper conveying direction, thereby reducing the above-mentioned problems. The problem of changing the various dimensions of the printing area that should be printed in the inkjet printing section
