MULTI-FUNCTION INKJET DEVICE FOR PRINTING WITH THERMO-REACTIVE INK |
| 摘要 |
What is disclosed is a multi-function inkjet print system which prints with inks having thermo-reactive properties and which can further process media printed with thermo-reactive inks such that the various properties of the inks can be activated. One embodiment of the present print device comprises at least one thermo-changing element which resides in proximity to a transport path along which the media travels. The thermo-changing element effectively changing a temperature T of the media to: T≦TL or T≧TH, as desired. In various embodiments, a sensor is used for sensing a temperature of the media. A temp-normalizing element is positioned along the transport path and downstream of the thermo-changing element for changing a temperature of the media such that the media's temperature T can be normalized back to a range of TL<<T<<TH prior to the media being deposited into an output tray. Various embodiments of a user interface are disclosed. |

1. A multi-function document reproduction system comprising:
an inkjet printhead for depositing ink onto a media, said ink having thermo-reactive properties such that said ink is visible on said media when a temperature T of said ink is in a temperature range of TL<T<TH, said ink becoming visually transparent on said media when heated to a temperature of at least T≧TH, said ink thereafter remaining visually transparent after said temperature T returns back to within said temperature range, said ink becoming visually perceptible again on said media when cooled to a temperature of at least T≦TL, said ink remaining visually perceptible on said media after said temperature T returns back to within said temperature range, said printhead residing along a transport path which said media travels; and at least one thermo-changing element which resides along said transport path and in proximity to said media as said media travels along said transport path, said thermo-changing element changing a temperature T of said media to one of: T≦TL and T≧TH.
