Apparatus and method for control or monitoring of a printing system |
摘要 |
Embodiments of the present invention relate to control apparatus and methods of a printing system, for example, comprising an intermediate transfer member (ITM) and to user-related features of a printing system. Some embodiments relate to regulation of a velocity and/or tension and/or length of the ITM. Some embodiments relate to regulation of deposition of ink on the moving ITM. Some embodiments regulate to apparatus configured to alert a user of one or more events related to operation of the ITM. Some embodiments relate to a time-line GUI for visualizing and/or manipulating queued print jobs which may be employed. Some embodiments relate to a reversed augmented reality GUI for visualization and/or control of the printing system. In some embodiments, a display screen is mounted to a printer housing and/or able to control access to moving parts of a printing system. |

1. A method of operating a printing system having a moving intermediate transfer member that is periodically engaged to and disengaged from a rotating impression cylinder such that during periods of engagement ink images are transferred from a surface of the moving intermediate transfer member to a substrate located between the impression cylinder and the intermediate transfer member, the method comprising:
a. during periods of engagement, moving the intermediate transfer member with the same surface velocity as the rotating impression cylinder; and b. during periods of disengagement, increasing or decreasing a surface velocity of the moving intermediate transfer member, or part thereof, so as to (i) prevent a pre-determined section of the intermediate transfer member from being aligned with the impression cylinder during periods of engagement and/or (ii) improve a synchronization between a pre-determined section of the intermediate transfer member and a pre-determined location of the impression cylinder. |
