METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ADAPTATION OF A COATING SUBSTANCE IN A PRINTING SYSTEM

摘要

Printing systems and methods for conditioning a recording medium are described. For example, to condition the recording medium, a property of a coating substance to be applied to the recording medium, such as the composition of the coating substance can be adjusted. Further, the quantity of the coating substance to be applied to the recording medium can be adjusted. The quality of a printed image created by the printing system can be improved by adjusting the property and/or the quantity of the coating substance.

主权项

1. A printing system comprising:
a conditioning group that is configured to apply a coating substance onto a recording medium to provide a pre-treated recording medium; a print group that is configured to print a first print image onto the pre-treated recording medium; a print image sensor that is configured to detect print image data indicative of information associated with the first print image; and a controller that is configured to:
determine, based on the print image data, at least one of: a property of the coating substance to be applied by the conditioning group, and a quantity of the coating substance to be applied by the conditioning group; andinduce the conditioning group, based on the determination, to adapt at least one of: the property of the coating substance that is to be applied for the printing of a second print image onto the recording medium, and the quantity of the coating substance that is to be applied for the printing of the second print image onto the recording medium, wherein the second print image is to be printed after a printing of the first print image.
