PERIPHERAL WHICH CAN BE USED TO PRINT AND CUT SHEETS OF PAPER USING A LOW-POWER LASER SOURCE

摘要

A paper roll (3) is supported and moved by a roller (6). A trolley carrier (5) is located above the paper and supports three computer controlled units. The first unit consists of a conventional black and color ink jet cartridge (4) for printing and the second is an ink jet cartridge containing ink which is absorbent at near infra red wavelength. The third unit (2) is a diode laser with optical focus operating at 850 nm An Independent claim is also included for : A method of aligning the operation of a conventional ink jet cartridge, an ink jet cartridge containing absorbent ink and a diode laser such that paper roll may be printed and cut to any shape
