AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In textile printing systems, print media is often transported downstream under tension during separation from the feed belt, leading to potential deformation of images and difficulties in adjusting the separation start position, which can cause separation failures.

Method used

A printing apparatus with a separator drive that operates independently of the feeder drive, allowing precise control over the separation start position and reducing tension-related transport issues by using a rubber-coated separator roller to facilitate smooth separation of the print medium.

Benefits of technology

The solution effectively reduces the likelihood of print media being stretched during drying, maintaining image quality and preventing separation failures, thereby enhancing the reliability of the printing process.

Abstract

A printing apparatus includes a feeder, an ink head, a separator, a feeder drive, and a separator drive. The feeder feeds a medium on a surface of the feeder in a feed direction. The ink head applies ink to the medium. The separator is located downstream from the feeder in the feed direction and separates the medium M from the feeder. The feeder drive drives the feeder. The separator drive is controllable independently of the feeder drive and drives the separator.
