Methods and systems for generating differential gloss image useful for digital printing

摘要

A system for generating a differential gloss image useful for digital printing includes a digital front end configured for receiving variable image data; and an imaging device including a laser glossing imager, the imaging device being configured to receive raster image data from the digital front end, the raster image data being based on the received variable image data, and the imaging device being configured to generate a differential gloss image over a printed image based on the received variable image data.

1. A system for generating a differential gloss image useful for digital printing, comprising:
a digital front end configured for receiving variable image data; an imaging device, the imaging device being configured to receive raster image data from the digital front end, the raster image data being based on the received variable image data, the imaging device including a laser glossing imager, the laser glossing imager being configured to expose a portion of a first image on a substrate to radiation to form a second image, the second image overlaying the first image, wherein the digital front end is configured to process received variable image data to acquire position information, the position information comprising at least one of x axis position information and y axis position information, the x axis corresponding to a line running parallel to a printed image process direction, and the y axis position information corresponding to a line running perpendicular to a printed image process direction, and a print positioning system configured for receiving the position information from the digital front end, the positioning system configured for causing a print transport to adjust a position of a substrate in a direction perpendicular to a process direction of the substrate.
