20090207458 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRINTING USING VARIABLE-DENSITY WHITE INK UNDER-PRINTED LAYER - Techniques for generated variable density mono-color under-print layer(s) for printing underneath an image on a substrate to improve the appearance of the printed image. | 08-20-2009 |
20100079772 | IMAGE PROCESSING TO REDUCE IMAGE PRINTING TIME BASED ON IMAGE DIMENSION AND PRINT PASS THRESHOLDS OF PRINT APPARATUS - A method is provided for processing an image to optimize print time of the image by a print apparatus based on the size of the image to be printed and the print pass thresholds of the print apparatus. A dimension of the image corresponding to the dimension along the sub-scanning axis of the image as it will be printed by the print apparatus is obtained, along with the corresponding number of print passes required to print the image. An analysis is performed to determine whether the size of the image could be reduced to require one less print pass by the print apparatus in printing the reduced image based on the proximity of the determined dimension to the range of dimensions that will result in one less print pass by the print apparatus. If the size of the image may be reduced such that the image could be printed in one less print pass while also meeting optional criteria such as enforcement of a maximum image reduction threshold, the image is scaled prior to printing to reduce the number of print passes performed by the print apparatus in printing the image. | 04-01-2010 |
20100102115 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MASS PRODUCTION OF VARIABLE SHAPED PRODUCTS - A computerized system, method, and computer-readable media implementing a method for mass producing variable shaped printed products is presented. A set of cutlines defining a shape for the ordered item is associated with each ordered item. A ganging system selects a plurality of ordered items to be simultaneously produced. Individual cutter-ready outline files corresponding to the associated set of outlines for each of the items selected for production are rendered and inserted into a gang template to generate an aggregated cutlines gang file. The gang file and at least one sheet of substrate are submitted to a cutting system. The cutting system cuts the individual finished products from the substrate sheet(s). | 04-29-2010 |
20100104172 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CALCULATING WEIGHT OF VARIABLE SHAPE PRODUCT MANUFACTURED FROM PRODUCT BLANK - A computerized system, method, and computer-readable media implementing a method for determining a weight of a product, and optionally its shipping weight and postage are described. A product having a variable shape in two dimensions wherein the shape is defined in the two dimensions by a set of cutlines is manufactured from a product blank of known weight. The weight of the product is determined from the number of pixels in a scaled image of the cutlines, the image having the same aspect ratio as the product blank. The weight of the product blank and the ratio of the pixels corresponding to product surface area relative to the total number of pixels in the image are used to calculated the actual weight of the product. | 04-29-2010 |
20100206194 | Printer Pallet Assembly for Use in Printing Multiple Articles of Manufacture - A pallet assembly for use in simultaneously printing multiple articles of manufacture.

The carrier also includes supports which allow a carrier loaded with articles of manufacture to be lifted off of the pallet and carried away for further processing. The assembly may also include a positioner which is mountable over the carrier on the pallet. The positioner operates as a jig for aligning each of the articles of manufacture in proper position on the support surface of the pallet. | 08-19-2010 |
20100207986 | Bleed Area Adjustment Technique for Use in Printing Multiple Articles of Manufacture - Techniques for creating an individual image sized to a desired print area plus a desired amount of bleed area to thereby reduce an amount of ink applied outside a desired print area are presented. In an embodiment, each of the desired print area dimensions, a default ink bleed width, and an ink bleed adjustment setting are obtained. The individual image comprises an image container sized to a desired print area plus a desired amount of bleed area. Each of the respective dimensions of the image container of the individual image is set to the corresponding respective dimension of the desired print area plus the default ink bleed width. A base image providing image content for the image container is sized to the dimensions of the image container if dimensions of the base image do not already equal the dimensions of the image container. If an adjustment to the bleed area is required, an adjustment setting indicative of a desired width of the ink bleed is obtained, and a white frame is inserted around the inside perimeter of the individual image, the white frame having a width equal to the difference between the default ink bleed width and the desired width of the ink bleed. | 08-19-2010 |
