METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING A PRINTING MEMBER

摘要

Provided is an approach method for generating a printing member. The approach method determines one or more image areas related to printing one or more images. The positions of one or more image areas are determined on the surface of a substrate. The approach method determines a hydrophile property or a hydro phobic property for the liquid interaction of the surface of the substrate. The approach method partially sprays a material to the images on the surface of the substrate by using a spray process. The material is an opposite property in comparison to the determined property. When the material is sprayed, the printing member is arranged inside a printing system. The surface is completely or partially cleaned. A new image is generated by spraying another material.
