    摘要: A method for printing a plurality of scan lines with one or more inkjet heads includes receiving at least one scanline; creating, from pixels of said at least one scanline, a plurality of bundles of a predetermined size comprising first bundles and consecutive bundles, said first and consecutive bundles comprising pixels for which nozzles of the one or more inkjet heads have to be fired within a first time period and within a consecutive time period, respectively; and storing said plurality of bundles in a first memory. The method includes transferring said plurality of bundles from first memory to second memory; and repeating until all said pixels are available in the second memory as the first bundles. Nozzles of the one or more inkjet heads are fired in accordance with the first bundles within the first time period and steps repeated for consecutive bundles and associated respective consecutive time periods.

    摘要: An inkjet printing apparatus for printing on a substrate, such as a flexible packaging material, includes at least three inkjet heads including a first inkjet head, a second inkjet head, and at least one further inkjet head. At least one drying unit includes a first drying unit arranged opposite a first drying location which is located between the first and second inkjet location, the first drying unit being configured for physically removing liquid from ink applied by the first inkjet head. At least a first drum and a second drum, where the first and second inkjet locations as well as the first drying location are located on an outer surface of the first drum; and the at least one further inkjet location is located on an outer surface of the second drum.

    摘要: A digital printing process for xerography printing with liquid toner is disclosed, said liquid toner including a curable carrier liquid and imaging particles suspended in the carrier liquid. The process includes: forming a latent image as a pattern of electric charge on a surface of an imaging member; transferring the liquid toner onto a development member; developing the latent image by transferring liquid toner from the development member onto the imaging member in accordance with the pattern; transferring the liquid toner from the imaging member to a first substrate; applying a second substrate on the transferred liquid toner; after application of the second substrate, irradiating the liquid toner with actinic radiation or particle beams to cure the carrier liquid.

    摘要: A developing unit configured for operating with a two-component developer material includes carrier particles to which the toner particles are adhered. The developing unit includes: at least one developer member rotatably mounted in the housing and configured for transferring toner particles to a photoconductor member, and a conveying assembly configured for conveying toner particles to the at least one developer member or away from the at least one developer member. The conveying assembly includes an auger and which includes a bar shaped shaft, a helical screw blade arranged around the shaft, and at least a first elongate element arranged at a distance of the shaft.
