Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0050] Example 1

[0051] See also Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a printing method based on printing file splicing, the method comprising:

[0052] S1: Obtain substrate information.

[0053] Specifically, the substrate information includes: substrate size, substrate shape, substrate material, substrate order batch, and substrate color. In existing inkjet printing technology, when printing, when the material, shape, size, and color of the substrate to be printed by inkjet printing are different, when the same picture is printed on the substrate, the corresponding print files are different.

[0054] S2: Acquire a plurality of images to be printed, process the images to be printed according to the substrate information, and generate a plurality of first printing files.

[0055] Specifically, when the printing material information is different, the first printing files generated after the same image to be printed is processed according to the printing material information are different.

[0056] For example, when the same image to be printed needs to be printed on substrates of different sizes, that is, the sizes of the printing areas corresponding to the two substrates are different, the first printing files generated by processing the image to be printed will also be different.

[0057] S3: splicing a plurality of the first to-be-printed files to generate a second printing file.

[0058] Specifically, splicing the first print files includes splicing several of the first print files to generate a second print file, or splicing several of the first print files according to preset requirements to generate multiple second print files, that is, the number of the second print files is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to the number of the first print files.

[0059] After the first print files are spliced, the number of print files is reduced, the number of times the print files are sent to a printer is reduced, and the number of times the printer needs to be reset after printing a print file is reduced, thereby reducing the number of operations of the printing system and improving the printing efficiency of the printer.

[0060] S4: Controlling the nozzle to perform inkjet printing on the substrate according to the second printing file.

[0061] The printing method based on printing file splicing provided by the embodiment of the present invention obtains substrate information; obtains a plurality of images to be printed, processes the plurality of images to be printed according to the substrate information to generate a plurality of first printing files; splices the plurality of first files to be printed to generate a second printing file; and controls the nozzle to inkjet print the substrate according to the second printing file. The images to be printed are processed according to the substrate information corresponding to the substrate to be inkjet printed to obtain the first printing file, splices the first printing files to generate the second printing file, and splices a plurality of the first printing files to obtain the second printing file, which can reduce the number of printing files, reduce the number of times the printer needs to be reset during the printing process, and improve printing efficiency.

[0062] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the step S2: obtaining a plurality of images to be printed, processing the images to be printed according to the substrate information, and generating a plurality of first printing files, including:

[0063] S201: assigning a plurality of images to be printed to a RIP software;

[0064] S202: The RIP software processes the plurality of images to be printed according to the substrate information to generate a plurality of the first printing files.

[0065] Specifically, a plurality of images to be printed are obtained and assigned to RIP software for processing, and each of the images to be printed is processed according to the substrate information corresponding to the substrate to be printed, and the corresponding first printing file is obtained. When the same image to be printed needs to be printed on multiple substrates with different substrate information, the corresponding first printing files may be different. The plurality of files to be printed are processed to generate the corresponding plurality of first printing files.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of first print files are spliced ​​to generate one or more second print files. By splicing the print files, the plurality of first print files are spliced ​​into one second print file, the number of print files is reduced to 1 or the number of print files received by the printer is reduced. When the substrate is inkjet printed according to the second print file, the printing device does not need to be reset once when inkjet printing is performed on different substrates, or the number of printer resets is reduced, so that continuous printing of the printing device can be achieved, the time for resetting the printing device can be reduced, and printing efficiency can be improved.

[0067] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the step S2: obtaining a plurality of images to be printed, processing the images to be printed according to the substrate information, and generating a plurality of first printing files, including:

[0068] S211: Allocating the plurality of images to be printed to a plurality of RIP software;

[0069] S212: The RIP software processes the image to be printed according to the substrate information to generate a plurality of first printing files.

[0070] Specifically, a plurality of the images to be printed are assigned to a plurality of RIP software for image processing to generate a plurality of the first print files, and then the first files are spliced ​​to generate the second print file. Compared with the previous embodiment, this embodiment improves the generation speed of the first print file by assigning a plurality of the images to be printed to a plurality of RIPs for processing. This solves the problem of slow image import speed and slow image processing speed caused by one RIP software processing the images to be printed to generate the first print file when there are a large number of the images to be printed. From the perspective of the entire printing process, the generation speed of the first print file is improved, and the generation efficiency is improved.

[0071] The first printing file is spliced ​​into the second printing file. Several first printing files can be spliced ​​into one second printing file, or several first printing files can be spliced ​​separately to generate multiple second printing files. The number of the second printing files is less than the number of the first printing files.

[0072] In one embodiment, the step S3: splicing a plurality of the first to-be-printed files to generate a second print file includes:

[0073] A plurality of the first printing files are grouped, and the first printing files in the same group are spliced ​​to generate the second printing file.

[0074] Specifically, the first printing files are grouped according to the substrate information corresponding to the first printing files, that is, the first printing files with the same substrate information are grouped into one group, and the first printing files in one group are spliced ​​to generate one second printing file. The number of groups divided by the first printing files is the number of groups of the generated second printing files, and the number of the second printing files is greater than or equal to 1 and less than the number of the first printing files.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of the images to be printed are processed by a RIP software to generate a plurality of the first print files, the first print files corresponding to the same substrate information are divided into a group, and the first print files in a group are spliced ​​to generate the second print file. In this embodiment, the first print files corresponding to the same substrate information are spliced, which is actually based on the fact that the first print files corresponding to the same substrate information have certain similarities, for example, the substrate sizes corresponding to the images to be printed in the same batch of orders may be the same, and the size data of the image data of the corresponding first print files may be the same.

[0076] Alternatively, a plurality of images to be printed are assigned to a plurality of RIP software for processing to generate the first print file, the first print files are grouped according to the substrate information corresponding to the first print file, and the first print files in the same group are spliced. By performing image processing through a plurality of RIP software, the generation speed of the first print file is increased, and the production efficiency is improved. The first print files are grouped, and the first print files in the same group are spliced ​​to generate the second print file. Compared with splicing all the first print files into one second print file, when the second print file obtained according to the method of the embodiment of the present invention controls the printing device to perform inkjet printing, the printing device needs to be reset multiple times to switch the print file from the previous second print file to the next second print file. However, the control of the printing process and the control of the substrate during the printing process in this embodiment is also more convenient.

[0077] In one embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the step S3: splicing the first files to be printed to generate a second printing file includes:

[0078] S31: Obtain corresponding image parameter information according to the first printing file, where the image information includes image size, bit number, and color channel number.

[0079] S32: splicing different first printing files according to the image parameter information to obtain the second printing file.

[0080] Specifically, the image size includes image height data and image width data, and the image is an image that can be generated by inkjet in the first printing file; the bit number indicates whether ink is applied or not and the size of the ink dots, such as 1-bit image data includes 0 and 1, wherein 0 indicates that ink is not applied at the position, and 1 indicates that ink is applied at the position; 2-bit image data includes 0, 1, 2, and 3, wherein 0 indicates that ink is not applied at the position, 1 indicates that a small dot of ink is applied at the position, 2 indicates that a medium dot of ink is applied at the position, and 3 indicates that a large dot of ink is applied at the position, etc.; color channels generally include color channels of four colors, namely C, M, Y, and K, and color channels of other special colors. The number of color channels refers to how many colors the colors in the first printing file are composed of. When the first printing file is composed of four colors, namely C, M, Y, and K, the number of color channels is 4; when the first printing file is composed of four colors, namely C, M, Y, and K, and one special color, the number of color channels is 5.

[0081] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, the step S32: splicing different first printing files according to the image parameter information to obtain the second printing file includes:

[0082] S321: Acquire original file data of a color channel at the same horizontal position as the printing position of the substrate corresponding to the first printing file;

[0083] S322: Generate print file data of the print position according to the original file data, and generate a data set according to the print file data, where the data set is the second print file.

[0084] In one embodiment, if Figure 6 As shown, the step S3: splicing a plurality of the first files to be printed to generate a second printing file includes:

[0085] S331: acquiring printing data corresponding to two adjacent first printing files according to the printing position;

[0086] S332: splicing the print data horizontally or vertically according to the print position.

[0087] Specifically, the first print file is composed of file data of a plurality of one-pass print areas, such as Figure 7 As shown, the one-pass printing area covered by inkjet scanning refers to the area where the nozzle prints once from left to right. In multi-pass reciprocating scanning printing, the one-pass printing area is the area covered by a certain number of nozzles in the nozzle for one inkjet. In onepass three-scan printing, the one-pass printing area is the area covered by all nozzles on a nozzle for one scan.

[0088] When splicing the two first print files, the original file data corresponding to a certain pass print area in the first first print file to be spliced ​​is obtained, and the original file data corresponding to a certain pass print area in the second first print file that is at the same horizontal position as the certain pass print area in the first first print file is obtained, and the two original file data of the second print data are spliced, such as Figure 8 , Fig. 9 As shown, when the first print file 1 and the first print file 2 are spliced, the original file data N1 corresponding to a pass printing area n1 and the original file data M1 corresponding to a pass printing area m1 of the two first print files at the same level of the corresponding substrate printing area are spliced ​​to obtain the print file data A1 at the same horizontal position.

[0089] When the three first printing files are spliced, the original file data corresponding to a certain pass printing area at the same level of the three first printing files are spliced ​​to obtain the printing file data at the same horizontal position.

[0090] A first printing file contains multiple original file data of a certain pass, and the original image data at the same horizontal position of each of the first printing files will be spliced. After the original image data at the same horizontal position are spliced, the printing file data at the corresponding horizontal position is obtained. That is, when two first printing files are spliced, A1=N1+M1, A2=N2+M2,...., all the printing file data A1, A2,... are combined into a data set T, and the data set T is the second printing file.

[0091] The vertical splicing is as follows Fig.10 As shown, Fig.10 In the figure, M1 and M3, M2 and M4 are vertically spliced. After the printer finishes printing M1 and M2, it prints M3 and M4, and M3 and M4 are horizontally spliced.

[0092] Before printing, the second print file is sent to the printer for inkjet printing, so that the printer can continuously print according to the second print file. This solves the problem in the existing inkjet printing technology that the printer needs to be reset after printing a print task, resulting in the printer needing to reset and print continuously when printing multiple print tasks, affecting the printing speed, thereby improving the printing efficiency.

[0093] After obtaining the second print file, the nozzle is controlled according to the second print file to perform inkjet printing on the printing material corresponding to the first print file that constitutes the second print file, that is, the corresponding printing material is positioned according to the splicing order of the first print file, and inkjet printing is performed according to the second print file to obtain a printed product.

[0094] The printing method based on printing file splicing provided by the embodiment of the present invention obtains substrate information; obtains a plurality of images to be printed, processes the plurality of images to be printed according to the substrate information to generate a plurality of first printing files; splices the plurality of first files to be printed to generate a second printing file; and controls the nozzle to inkjet print the substrate according to the second printing file. The images to be printed are processed according to the substrate information corresponding to the substrate to be inkjet printed to obtain the first printing file, splices the first printing files to generate the second printing file, and splices a plurality of the first printing files to obtain the second printing file, which can reduce the number of printing files, reduce the number of times the printer needs to be reset during the printing process, and improve printing efficiency.
