TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of digital printing, in particular to a RIP image dot layout digital printing device and a printing method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] RIP, also known as raster image processor, is a processor or software in a printing output system for converting PS, PDF and other files into raster dot array data, used for driving printers, plate making machines and other equipment, the core of which is composed of an interpretation part and a control part, the former is responsible for translating page instructions into a "display list" and performing rasterization processing, and the latter controls the operation of the imaging system, the most important part of the RIP is the interpretation part, which first translates the instructions of the page description language into a "display list", all computing objects in the page are buffered and stored in a unified format, the second step is to convert the objects in the "display list" through a restoration module according to the resolution of the output device, then the continuous tone image obtained is segmented into dots by means of a rasterization module, and converted into the original data format of the output device, and then the image is segmented into a pixel matrix corresponding to the physical resolution of the printer, and the continuous tone is converted into a dot array through an algorithm, and finally enters the physical printing stage, RIP is widely used in advertising spray drawing, high-end image output and industrial label printing and other industries.
[0003] Kyocera UV nozzle KJ4A-AA has small nozzle and high printing precision, and is suitable for label and code spraying industry. Since the nozzle is composed of 16 column nozzles with a mutual difference of 600DPI physical precision, and the distance between each column is far, the nozzle has a high requirement for the processing of the nozzle bottom plate and the level of the printing medium, and slight errors will cause obvious stringing in the printing effect. At present, many manufacturers using Kyocera nozzles have different degrees of printing stringing problems; changing the size and arrangement of the dots in the RIP image process can effectively solve the nozzle stringing problem.
[0004] Kyocera nozzle printing effect is prone to stringing problem, and is more suitable for scanning machines in the textile industry, which can compensate for the stringing problem through multi-PASS printing; for singlepass equipment, the product is sprayed out at one time, and the stringing effect is difficult for customers to accept; the nozzle arrangement structure of Kyocera nozzle leads to a high requirement for the machining precision of the nozzle bottom plate during production.
[0005] The existing digital printing device usually adopts thermal bubble jet printing technology, which principle is that a micro heating resistor is arranged in the nozzle, the current is instantaneously heated to above 300 DEG C, the ink is vaporized to generate a bubble, the bubble is expanded to extrude the ink chamber, the ink droplet is sprayed out of the nozzle, then the bubble is broken to form a negative pressure to suck new ink, and the high temperature environment can accelerate the thermal decomposition of the pigment or resin component in the ink, to form carbonized particles and deposit in the nozzle inner wall, the carbonized particles adhere to the inner wall of the nozzle hole with a diameter of only 20-50 microns, the effective aperture is reduced or part of the nozzle hole is completely blocked, the ink jet path may be deviated, and the ink droplet may deviate from the predetermined coordinate, the adjacent dots may overlap or have abnormal gap, the image continuity is damaged, the resistance caused by the blockage and the surface tension of the ink may make the ink unable to separate from the nozzle, and the surface tension of the ink will make the sprayed ink retract to the bottom of the nozzle and adhere, the ink is more volatile when exposed to air, the pigment or resin in the ink is easy to accumulate again at the nozzle, to cause more serious blockage, and part of the blocked nozzle may seep out residual ink during non-spraying movement, to form random filaments, therefore, we propose a RIP graph dot layout digital printing device and a printing method thereof.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0039] Please refer to Figures 1-12 The present application provides a RIP map dot layout digital printing device, which comprises a printer body 1, a material loading shaft 2 and a winding shaft 3 rotatably installed on the printer body 1, a fixed frame 4 fixedly installed in the printer body 1, a sliding rail 5 fixedly installed on the fixed frame 4, a sliding seat 6 slidably installed on the sliding rail 5, a plurality of nozzles 9 for printing fixedly installed on the sliding seat 6, a belt 8 movably installed on the fixed frame 4 and fixedly installed with a driving device 7 for driving the belt 8 to move, the sliding seat 6 being fixedly installed on the belt 8, a bearing table 10 for bearing a printing substrate fixedly installed on the fixed frame 4, and a pressure roller 11 for preventing the substrate from curling arranged on both sides of the upper end of the bearing table 10.
[0040] When printing, the driving device 7 drives the belt 8 to move forward and reversely, so that the sliding seat 6 drives the nozzles 9 to reciprocate on the sliding rail 5, and the winding shaft 3 and the material loading shaft 2 synchronously rotate to convey the printing substrate, the printing position of the substrate is controlled to match the position of the nozzles 9, and high-efficiency printing is realized.
[0041] Further, the sliding seat 6 is fixedly installed with a baffle 12 on one side, the fixed frame 4 is slidably installed with a sliding rod 13, the sliding rod 13 is located on the movement track of the baffle 12, the sliding rod 13 is provided with a wedge-shaped block 16, the wedge-shaped block 16 is fixedly connected with the second spring 18 between one side and the inner wall of the fixed frame 4, the wedge-shaped block 16 is provided with a magnetic block 19 matched therewith at the lower end, the magnetic block 19 is fixedly connected with the telescopic rod 20 between the lower end and the inner wall of the fixed frame 4, the fixed frame 4 is slidably installed with a magnetic seat 21 magnetically attracted to the magnetic block 19, the magnetic seat 21 is fixedly installed with the telescopic column 22 between one side and the inner wall of the fixed frame 4, the magnetic seat 21 is rotatably installed with the rotating shaft 31, the rotating shaft 31 is provided with a plurality of cleaning rollers 32 for cleaning the ink at the bottom of the nozzle 9, and the cleaning roller 32 corresponds to the nozzle 9 one by one.
[0042] Further, the outer surface of the cleaning roller 32 is made of a flexible water-absorbing material and does not fall off residue or hair; the ink at the bottom of the nozzle 9 can be wiped off without leaving impurities to affect the printing quality.
[0043] Further, the fixed frame 4 is slidably installed with a bottom cover 28 for protecting the bottom of the nozzle 9, one end of the bottom cover 28 is designed as an opening, the other end is fixedly installed with a sliding plate 29, the sliding plate 29 is located on the movement track of the magnetic seat 21, and a plurality of elastic rods 30 are fixedly installed between the lower end of the sliding plate 29 and the inner wall of the bottom of the fixed frame 4, and the lower end of the magnetic seat 21 is provided with a wedge shape on both sides.
[0044] Further, the rotating shaft 31 is fixedly installed with a gear 34 at one end, and the fixed frame 4 is fixedly installed with a rack 35 matched with the gear 34.
[0045] Specifically, the nozzle 9 reciprocating sliding once can print the corresponding part of the substrate below, after each printing is completed, the nozzle 9 will continue to move to one side by a distance and stay for a period of time, waiting for the unprinted substrate to be conveyed below, in the process of continuing to move, the baffle 12 on the sliding seat 6 will contact the sliding rod 13, and the sliding rod 13 will be pushed into the fixed frame 4, the sliding rod 13 will drive the wedge-shaped block 16 to move synchronously, and after the movement of the sliding seat 6 and the nozzle 9 is completed, the wedge-shaped block 16 will be separated from the limiting of the magnetic block 19, the magnetic block 19 will be pushed upward by the telescopic rod 20, in the initial state, as shown in the figure Figure 7As shown, the magnetic block 19 is not aligned with the magnetic base 21, and the magnetic block 19 and the magnetic base 21 are not attracted to each other, and the telescopic column 22 remains in the retracted state. When the magnetic block 19 moves upward, it will be aligned with the magnetic base 21, and the magnetic base 21 will be attracted by the magnetic force of the magnetic block 19, which will drive the rotating shaft 31 and the cleaning roller 32 to move towards the magnetic block 19. At the same time, through the cooperation of the gear 34 and the rack 35, the cleaning roller 32 and the rotating shaft 31 rotate during sliding, which improves the cleaning effect of the cleaning roller 32. When the nozzle 9 moves to the end, the bottom cover 28 will be located below the nozzle 9 to protect the nozzle 9. During the movement of the magnetic base 21, through the cooperation of the wedge surface at the lower end of the magnetic base 21 and the sliding plate 29, the sliding plate 29 will drive the bottom cover 28 to move downward against the elastic force of the elastic rod 30, without affecting the movement of the cleaning roller 32 and the rotating shaft 31. After the movement of the magnetic base 21 is completed, the bottom cover 28 will be reset upward by the elastic force of the elastic rod 30, continuing to protect the nozzle 9. This prevents impurities or dust from adhering to the bottom of the nozzle 9 during the operation of the internal equipment of the printer body 1, which affects the printing effect. It can continuously protect the nozzle 9 when it is stopped, reducing the pollution of the bottom of the nozzle 9 and reducing the blockage caused by ink evaporation.
[0046] In combination Figures 2 to 6 In the preferred embodiment, the slide rod 13 penetrates the wedge block 16 and is in sliding connection with it. One end of the slide rod 13 is fixedly installed with a magnetic plate 14. One side of the magnetic plate 14 is fixedly connected with a first spring 15 between the inner wall of the fixed frame 4. One side of the wedge block 16 is fixedly installed with a magnetic ring 17 that is magnetically attracted to the magnetic plate 14. The upper end of the wedge block 16 is transversely slidably installed with a telescopic block 23. The top inner wall of the fixed frame 4 is provided with a clamping groove 24 for limiting the telescopic block 23.
[0047] Further, the clamping groove 24 is triangularly arranged, and a limiting block 25 and a triangular block 27 are fixedly installed inside it. The limiting block 25 is also triangularly arranged, and its upper end is recessed and its lower end is inclined. The triangular block 27 corresponds to the recess of the upper end of the limiting block 25. Two guide blocks 26 for allowing the telescopic block 23 to move in one direction are fixedly installed inside the clamping groove 24.
[0048] Further, the magnetic attraction between the magnetic plate 14 and the magnetic ring 17 is greater than the initial state elastic force of the second spring 18 and less than the compressed state elastic force of the second spring 18.
[0049] Specifically, during the movement of the slide rod 13 and the wedge block 16, because the magnetic attraction between the magnetic plate 14 and the magnetic ring 17 is greater than the initial state elastic force of the second spring 18, the slide rod 13 can drive the wedge block 16 to move together in the initial state. At the same time, the telescopic block 23 will slide along the clamping groove 24 and slide transversely on the upper end of the wedge block 16, as shown in the attached Figure 6As shown, since the lower end of the limiting block 25 is inclined, the telescopic block 23 will always move to the right after contacting the limiting block 25, and will retract when passing the guide block 26, and will pop out and reset after passing. The guide block 26 will limit the telescopic block 23, preventing it from moving in the opposite direction, so that the telescopic block 23 can only move in one direction along the clamping groove 24. When the slide rod 13 and the wedge block 16 have moved, the magnetic attraction between the magnetic plate 14 and the magnetic ring 17 is smaller than the elastic force of the second spring 18 in the compressed state. At this time, the elastic force of the second spring 18 will push the wedge block 16 to slide in the opposite direction on the slide rod 13, and the telescopic block 23 will move to the upper end of the limiting block 25 and be unable to reset, so that the magnetic block 19 is continuously aligned with the magnetic seat 21, and the cleaning roller 32 cannot slide back to reset. When the nozzle 9 performs the next printing, the slide rod 13 is released from the limiting, the magnetic plate 14 will again be in close contact with the magnetic ring 17 on the wedge block 16, and the slide rod 13 cannot be completely reset. When the nozzle 9 finishes printing again, the slide rod 13 will be pushed again. At this time, the slide rod 13 will move the wedge block 16 again, and the telescopic block 23 will move to the left under the limiting of the lower end of the triangular block 27. When the slide rod 13 has moved, the second spring 18 will push the wedge block 16 to slide on the slide rod 13. At this time, the telescopic block 23 will enter the left side of the clamping groove 24 under the limiting of the guide block 26, the wedge block 16 can drive the telescopic block 23 to reset to the initial state, and the lower inclined surface of the wedge block 16 will cooperate with the upper end of the magnetic block 19 to make the magnetic block 19 move downward to reset. The magnetic block 19 is no longer aligned with the magnetic seat 21, and the magnetic seat 21 is pulled to reset by the elastic force of the telescopic column 22.
[0050] The telescopic block is limited by the clamping groove, and the bottom cover 28 is moved downward again without affecting the cleaning of the cleaning roller 32. The single push of the baffle 12 on the slide rod 13 can make the cleaning roller 32 move in one direction to clean the bottom of the nozzle 9. The baffle 12 pushes the slide rod 13 twice to make the cleaning roller 32 move back and forth once, which maintains cleaning while improving cleaning efficiency, does not affect the normal operation of the printing equipment, and does not reduce the printing speed. Moreover, the cleaning roller 32 can only be cleaned after the nozzle 9 has moved, preventing a cleaning roller 32 from contacting multiple nozzles 9 during the movement of the slide seat 6, which causes color pollution between the nozzles 9.
[0051] In combination Figures 7 to 12In this preferred embodiment, the rotating shaft 31 is arranged in multiple segments, and the inner diameter of the cleaning roller 32 is larger than the outer diameter of the rotating shaft 31. Each cleaning roller 32 is fixedly connected to a number of third springs 33 at the corresponding end of the rotating shaft 31. The third springs 33 are arranged in a ring. A pull rope 36 is provided inside the rotating shaft 31. The pull rope 36 passes through each segment of the rotating shaft 31 and each cleaning roller 32 in sequence. One end of the pull rope 36 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 31, and the other end passes out of the rotating shaft 31 and is fixedly installed with a push plate 38. A fourth spring 37 is fixedly connected to one side of the push plate 38 and the magnetic base 21. Two pressure sensors 39 that cooperate with the push plate 38 and are used to detect the weight of ink on the cleaning roller 32 are fixedly installed inside the fixing frame 4.
[0052] In this preferred embodiment, a magnetic rod 40 is slidably installed in each section of the rotating shaft 31, and the magnetic repulsion between two adjacent magnetic rods 40 is achieved. Each cleaning roller 32 is provided with a positioning hole 41 that cooperates with the magnetic rod 40. Several magnetic strips 42 that are magnetically repulsive to the magnetic rod 40 are fixedly installed on the fixing brackets 4 at both ends of the rotating shaft 31. The magnetic strips 42 on one side of the fixing bracket 4 of the pressure sensing element 39 correspond to the initial end and the end end of the movement trajectory of the rotating shaft 31, while the magnetic strips 42 on the other side of the fixing bracket 4 correspond to the middle section of the movement trajectory of the rotating shaft 31.
[0053] Specifically, when the rotating shaft 31 and the cleaning roller 32 are not moving, the magnetic strip 42 on the fixing bracket 4 on the corresponding side of the pressure sensing element 39 will align with the magnetic rod 40. Because adjacent magnetic rods 40 repel each other, they will move synchronously in the opposite direction to the pressure sensing element 39, and the magnetic rod 40 will no longer be inserted into the positioning hole 41. Since the inner diameter of the cleaning roller 32 is larger than the outer diameter of the rotating shaft 31, when the cleaning roller 32 absorbs a large amount of ink, such as... Figure 11 As shown, the weight of the ink will cause the cleaning roller 32 to move downwards. The cleaning roller 32 will pull the pull rope 36, causing the middle section of the pull rope 36 to bend. The pull rope 36 will then pull the push plate 38 towards the magnetic base 21, compressing the fourth spring 37. The push plate 38 will no longer contact the pressure sensor 39. After the cleaning roller 32 has finished moving, the corresponding pressure sensor 39 will no longer sense pressure, indicating that there is excessive blockage in the printhead 9, preventing normal ink ejection and causing excessive ink accumulation at the bottom of the printhead 9. During the cleaning process of the cleaning roller 32, the magnetic rod 40 will be subjected to the magnetic repulsion force of the magnetic strip 42 on the other side of the fixing frame 4, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 12 As shown, the magnetic rods 40 will all move toward the other end of the rotating shaft 31 and pass through the corresponding positioning holes 41, so that the cleaning roller 32 can rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 31 during the cleaning process to maintain the cleaning effect. After each cleaning, the weight of ink on the cleaning roller 32 can be detected, and the nozzle 9 can be detected and repaired in time to prevent the printing effect from being consistently poor.
[0054] When printing, the forward and reverse movement of the belt 8 driven by the driving device 7 drives the slide 6 to drive the nozzle 9 to reciprocate on the slide rail 5, and the winding shaft 3 and the material carrying shaft 2 rotate synchronously to convey the printing substrate, control the printing position of the substrate to match the position of the nozzle 9, realize efficient printing, and the nozzle 9 can print the corresponding part of the substrate below once the slide reciprocates once. After each printing is completed, the nozzle 9 will continue to move to one side by a distance and stay for a period of time, waiting for the unprinted substrate to be conveyed to the lower side.
[0055] During the continuous movement of the nozzle 9, the baffle 12 on the slide 6 will contact the slide rod 13 and push the slide rod 13 into the fixed frame 4. The slide rod 13 drives the wedge block 16 to move synchronously, and after the movement of the slide 6 and the nozzle 9 is completed, the wedge block 16 is separated from the limiting of the magnetic block 19. The magnetic block 19 is pushed upward by the telescopic rod 20 and aligned with the magnetic base 21. The magnetic base 21 is attracted by the magnetic force of the magnetic block 19, which drives the rotating shaft 31 and the cleaning roller 32 to move towards the magnetic block 19. During the movement of the magnetic base 21, the slide plate 29 drives the bottom cover 28 to move downward, without affecting the movement of the cleaning roller 32 and the rotating shaft 31. After the movement of the magnetic base 21 is completed, the bottom cover 28 is reset upward by the elastic force of the elastic rod 30, and the protection of the nozzle 9 is continued.
[0056] During the movement of the slide rod 13 and the wedge block 16, the telescopic block 23 will always move to the right after contacting the limiting block 25. When the slide rod 13 and the wedge block 16 move, the elastic force of the second spring 18 will push the wedge block 16 to slide reversely on the slide rod 13. The telescopic block 23 will move to the recess at the upper end of the limiting block 25 and be stuck and cannot be reset, so that the magnetic block 19 is continuously aligned with the magnetic base 21. The cleaning roller 32 cannot slide reversely to reset. When the nozzle 9 prints again, the slide rod 13 will be pushed again. At this time, the slide rod 13 will drive the wedge block 16 to move together. The telescopic block 23 is limited by the lower end of the triangular block 27 and moves to the left. When the slide rod 13 moves, the second spring 18 will push the wedge block 16 to slide on the slide rod 13 again. At this time, the telescopic block 23 receives the limiting of the guide block 26 and enters the left side of the clamping groove 24. The wedge block 16 can drive the telescopic block 23 to reset to the initial state. At the same time, the magnetic block 19 moves downward to reset and is no longer aligned with the magnetic base 21. The magnetic base 21 is pulled to reset by the elastic force of the telescopic column 22, and the bottom cover 28 moves downward again without affecting the cleaning of the cleaning roller 32. The baffle 12 can make the cleaning roller 32 move unidirectionally to clean the bottom of the nozzle 9 by pushing the slide rod 13 twice. When the rotating shaft 31 and the cleaning roller 32 do not move, the magnetic strip 42 on the corresponding side of the fixed frame 4 will be aligned with the magnetic rod 40.
[0057] After the cleaning roller movement is completed, the magnetic rod 40 moves synchronously in the opposite direction of the pressure sensing part 39, and the magnetic rod 40 is no longer inserted into the positioning hole 41. When the cleaning roller 32 absorbs more ink, the weight of the ink will drive the cleaning roller 32 to move downward, the cleaning roller 32 will pull the pull rope 36, and the middle section of the pull rope 36 will be bent, the pull rope 36 will pull the push plate 38 to move towards the magnetic base 21; and the push plate 38 no longer contacts the pressure sensing part 39, after the cleaning roller 32 movement is completed, the corresponding pressure sensing part 39 will not sense pressure, indicating that there is a situation that the inkjet head 9 is blocked too much and cannot normally jet ink, resulting in too much ink accumulated at the bottom of the inkjet head 9. During the cleaning process of the cleaning roller 32, the magnetic rod 40 will be repelled by the magnetic strip 42 on the other side of the fixed frame 4, and the magnetic rod 40 will move to the other end of the rotating shaft 31 and penetrate the corresponding positioning hole 41, so that the cleaning roller 32 can rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 31 during the cleaning process, and the cleaning effect is maintained.
[0058] In the preferred embodiment, a printing method of a RIP graph dot layout digital printing device is provided, which specifically includes the following steps: S1, check each component in the printer body 1 and ensure that each component can work normally, select a suitable printing substrate and place it on the loading shaft 2, pass the printing substrate through each component in the printer body 1, and finally fix it to the winding shaft 3; S2, pre-process the printing file to standardize the source file and perform pre-press inspection through pre-check software; S3, perform RIP core processing to match input precision and generate halftone dots, and control ink volume through a color conversion engine; S4, perform printing equipment cooperative control, drive the belt 8 to reciprocate through the driving device 7, drive the inkjet head 9 to reciprocate and print through the sliding seat 6, and control the loading shaft 2 and the winding shaft 3 to rotate synchronously to convey the printing substrate, thereby accurately and continuously printing; S5, during the movement of the sliding seat 6, the upper baffle 12 pushes the sliding rod 13 to move into the fixed frame 4, the sliding rod 13 drives the wedge-shaped block 16 to disengage from the limiting of the magnetic block 19, the magnetic block 19 moves upward and aligns with the magnetic base 21, the magnetic base 21 is attracted by the magnetic force of the magnetic block 19, drives the rotating shaft 31 and the cleaning roller 32 to move towards the magnetic block 19, the baffle 12 pushes the sliding rod 13 once to enable the cleaning roller 32 to move in one direction to clean the bottom of the nozzle 9, and the baffle 12 pushes the sliding rod 13 twice to enable the cleaning roller 32 to move back and forth once; after the movement of the magnetic base 21 is completed, the bottom cover 28 is reset upward by the elastic force of the elastic rod 30 to protect the nozzle 9; when the rotating shaft 31 and the cleaning roller 32 do not move, the magnetic strip 42 on the corresponding side of the fixed frame 4 is aligned with the magnetic rod 40, and the magnetic rod 40 moves in the opposite direction of the pressure sensing piece 39 synchronously, and the magnetic rod 40 is no longer inserted into the positioning hole 41; the weight of the ink drives the cleaning roller 32 to move downward, the cleaning roller 32 pulls the pull rope 36, the pull rope 36 pulls the push plate 38 to move towards the magnetic base 21, and the pressure sensing piece 39 cannot sense the pressure, which indicates that there is a condition that the nozzle 9 is blocked too much to normally spray ink, resulting in that the ink is accumulated too much at the bottom of the nozzle 9; during the cleaning process of the cleaning roller 32, the magnetic rod 40 is repelled by the magnetic force of the magnetic strip 42 on the other side of the fixed frame 4, and the magnetic rod 40 moves to the other end of the rotating shaft 31 and penetrates through the corresponding positioning hole 41, so that the cleaning roller 32 can rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft 31 during the cleaning process; S6, the printed products are detected on line, the dot analysis is fed back to the RIP automatic parameter compensation system to adjust the parameters, and quality closed loop control is formed.
[0059] Further, in combination with Figure 13 In the preferred embodiment, the adjacent nozzles of the plurality of nozzles 9 are arranged in a left-right staggered manner, the vertical direction of the adjacent nozzles of the plurality of nozzles 9 is arranged in a sequentially close manner, and the nozzle arrangement of the plurality of nozzles 9 adopts a 2Bit_uv_E3 dot layout mode.
[0060] Specifically, in the 2Bit_uv_E3 dot layout mode, the adjacent nozzles of the plurality of nozzles are arranged in a left-right staggered manner with unequal intervals; the vertical direction positions of the nozzles of the plurality of nozzles are sequentially and closely arranged, that is, the horizontal line between the bottom end point of the previous nozzle and the top end point of the next nozzle is closely arranged or coincides.
[0061] When the printing RIP picture is printed, the size and arrangement of the dots are changed to compensate for the gap between the nozzles, so that the problem of silk drawing of the Seiko nozzle is solved; the Seiko nozzle has a long service life and high printing precision, and the application of the Seiko nozzle in the label industry can further improve the performance of the equipment.
[0062] The arrangement of the nozzle holes of the several nozzles above adopts the layout mode of 2Bit_uv_E3 dots. When printing a RIP picture, the diameter of the ink drops is increased and the irregular dot arrangement mode is adopted. When the two interpenetrating nozzle holes have a gap due to installation precision, the 2Bit_uv_E3 dots can effectively cover the gap, thereby solving the problem of the drawn pattern having a stringing problem. The singlepass printing pattern is formed at one time, the productivity is high, and the stringing problem does not need to be compensated by the multi-PASS printing coverage of the scanning machine.
