Method And Apparatus For Ink Jet Printing On Textiles

View page
US Patent:
6467898, Oct 22, 2002
Filed:
Mar 30, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/823268
Inventors:
Richard N. Codos - Warren NJ
William W. Collan - Freehold NJ
Robert B. Comerford - Stewartsville NJ
Angelo Quattrociocchi - Thornhill, CA
Milan Badovinac - Mississouga, CA
Assignee:
LP Property Management Company - South Gate CA
International Classification:
B41J 201
US Classification:
347102, 347 96, 347101
Abstract:
Ink jet printing is provided onto fabric using ultraviolet (UV) light curable ink. The ink is first partially cured with UV light and then is subjected to heating to more completely cure the ink and to remove by evaporation or otherwise, the uncured monomers and producing a printed image of ink having an amount of unpolymerized monomers and polymerization reactants and byproducts that is less than a food industry packaging standard of 100 PPM, and as low as 10 PPM. The printing is provided in a quilting machine having a quilting station and a printing station located upstream of the quilting station. Preferably, at the printing station, only a top layer of fabric is printed with a multi-colored design under the control of a programmed controller. UV curable ink is jetted onto the fabric with a dot volume of about 75 picoliters. A conveyor moves the printed fabric from the printing station through a UV curing station where a UV curing light head moves either with the print head or independent of the print head to expose the deposited drops of UV ink with a beam of about 300 watts per linear inch of energy, at a rate that applies about 1 joule per square centimeter.

US Patent:
6702438, Mar 9, 2004
Filed:
Apr 2, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/824517
Inventors:
Richard N. Codos - Warren NJ
William W. Collan - Freehold NJ
Robert B. Comerford - Stewartsville NJ
Angelo Quattrociocchi - Thornhill, CA
Milan Badovinac - Mississouga, CA
Assignee:
LP Property Management Company - South Gate CA
International Classification:
B41J 3407
US Classification:
347106, 347101
Abstract:
Ink jet printing is provided on large area substrates such as wide width textile webs. The printheads are driven by linear servo motors across a bridge that extends across the substrate. The timing of the jetting of the ink is coordinated with the motion of the printheads, so that the heads can be rapidly moved and the ink can be jetted while the printheads are accelerating or decelerating as they move on the bridge. Preferably, ultraviolet (UV) light curable ink is jetted and first partially cured with UV light and then subjected to heating to more completely reduce uncured monomers of the ink on the substrate.

US Patent:
7073902, Jul 11, 2006
Filed:
Sep 30, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/675219
Inventors:
Richard N. Codos - Warren NJ, US
William W. Collan - Freehold NJ, US
Robert B. Comerford - Stewartsville NJ, US
Angelo Quattrociocchi - Thornhill, CA
Milan Badovinac - Mississouga, CA
Assignee:
L&P Property Management Company - South Gate CA
International Classification:
B41J 2/01
US Classification:
347102, 347101
Abstract:
An ink jet printing is provided on large area such as wide textile webs, having such pores or other opening therethrough such that, when ink is jetted from a print head onto the web, some of the ink jets through the opening to a side of the web opposite the print head. At the printing station, maintaining a space between the web and the surface such that the web is out of contact with the surface at the printing station so that when ink jetted through the web and onto the surface it does not contaminate the web.

US Patent:
8016380, Sep 13, 2011
Filed:
Jan 28, 2005
Appl. No.:
10/597546
Inventors:
Richard N. Codos - Warren NJ, US
William W. Collan - Freehold NJ, US
Angelo Quattrociocchi - Mississauga, CA
Peter Vogel - Thole, CH
Assignee:
Polytype S.A. - Fribourg
International Classification:
B41J 29/393
US Classification:
347 19, 347 5, 347 14
Abstract:
An apparatus () and a method of ink jet printing are disclosed that use a system for feeding a substrate longitudinally relative to a support area and a system for moving a printhead parallel to the direction of substrate feed. Indexing between transverse scan rows of a printhead () is carried out initially by the substrate feed system () and the actual feed distance is measured using an encoder or other substrate position measurement device (). A controller () determines the amount of any error that occurs between the actual and the desired feed distances. The controller () then sends signals to move the printhead () to compensate for any error in the feed system feed. Compensating adjustments are then made to the next subsequent substrate indexing step so that the printhead tends to move back toward its home or zeroed position with its next correction and does not walk away from this home position as a result of cumulative movements. For printers that have bridges () moveable relative to the machine frame () on which the printhead () is carried, printhead motion is achieved by moving the bridge, for example, by actuating a linear servo bridge motion system (). For fixed bridge roll-to-roll printers, the printhead () can be caused to shift longitudinally on the bridge () to make the correcting movements.

Method And Apparatus For Uv Ink Jet Printing On Fabric And Combination Printing And Quilting Thereby

US Patent:
63121239, Nov 6, 2001
Filed:
Sep 3, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/390571
Inventors:
Richard N. Codos - Warren NJ
William W. Collan - Freehold NJ
Robert B. Comerford - Stewartsville NJ
Angelo Quattrociocchi - Thornhill, CA
Milan Badovinac - Mississouga, CA
Assignee:
L&P Property Management Company - South Gate CA
International Classification:
B41J 201
US Classification:
347102
Abstract:
Ink jet printing is provided onto fabric using ultraviolet (UV) light curable ink. The ink is first cured with UV light to about a 90-97% cure, and then is subjected to heating to more completely cure the ink and to remove by evaporation or otherwise, the uncured monomers and producing a printed image of ink having less than 100 PPM of uncured monomers, and as low as 10 PPM of uncured monomers. The printing is provided in a quilting machine having a quilting station and a printing station located upstream of the quilting station. Preferably, at the printing station, only a top layer of fabric is printed with a multicolored design under the control of a programmed controller. UV curable ink is jetted at a dot density of about 180. times. 254 dots or more per inch per color, each dot of about 80 picoliters. A conveyor moves the printed fabric from the printing station through a UV curing station where a UV curing light head moves either with the print head or independent of the print head to expose the deposited drops of UV ink with a beam of about 300 watts per linear inch of energy, at a rate that applies about 1 joule per square centimeter.
