Description
技术领域technical field
本发明为一种关于喷墨头的发明,特别是一种喷墨头打印校正方法与装置。The present invention is an invention related to an inkjet head, in particular to a printing correction method and device for an inkjet head.
背景技术Background technique
喷墨打印机在使用一段时间后就可能发现打印出来的数据会有歪斜的问题,因此需要利用一种打印校正的方法或装置来改善这种情形。以目前打印机的设计,多是将墨水匣与喷墨头结合在一起,消费者也可以每更换一次墨水夹就更换一次喷墨头,避免喷墨头阻塞情形。理论上喷墨头在置入打印机时,喷墨头应该与打印机的打印传动轴(print bar)垂直,但可能因为打印机本身机构的误差或是使用者将喷墨头置入打印机时造成的误差,使得喷墨头与打印传动轴产生一个倾斜的角度,造成打印时原先应该是直线的图形变成斜线,打印品质因而下降。After an inkjet printer has been used for a period of time, it may be found that the printed data will be skewed. Therefore, it is necessary to use a printing correction method or device to improve this situation. With the current design of printers, the ink cartridge and the inkjet head are mostly combined. Consumers can also replace the inkjet head every time the ink cartridge is replaced to avoid inkjet head clogging. Theoretically, when the inkjet head is inserted into the printer, the inkjet head should be perpendicular to the printer's printing drive shaft (print bar), but it may be due to the error of the printer itself or the error caused by the user when placing the inkjet head into the printer. , so that the inkjet head and the printing transmission shaft have an inclined angle, causing the graphics that should be straight lines to become oblique lines during printing, and the printing quality is thus reduced.
已知用以校正喷墨头打印的方法是以一延迟喷墨(firing)的方式,控制输入到像素选择线的信号,作出适当的延迟喷墨来达到修正打印时的品质。首先先送测试样本给打印机作打印测试,再以光学感应器侦测打印测试的误差位移量。然后根据测量到的误差位移量计算出一延迟时间常数,当输入到喷墨头的地址线的电压为high时,接下来输入到像素选择线的电压就根据该延迟时间常数,在一个位置脉冲(position pulse)时间内,使喷墨头作出适当的延迟喷墨,修正打印时的品质。A known method for correcting the printing of an inkjet head is to control the signal input to the pixel selection line in a manner of delaying firing, and to perform proper delaying of firing to achieve the corrected printing quality. First send the test sample to the printer for printing test, and then use the optical sensor to detect the error displacement of the printing test. Then calculate a delay time constant according to the measured error displacement. When the voltage input to the address line of the inkjet head is high, the voltage input to the pixel selection line is pulsed at a position according to the delay time constant. (position pulse) time, make the inkjet head make a proper delay of inkjet, and correct the quality of printing.
已知用以校正喷墨头打印的方法是在打印机系统内利用软件执行,但这样会造成打印机系统的负荷过重而影响打印速度。而且应用此方法必须在打印机上装设光学感应器,增加打印机的成本,且已知技艺需在每一个位置脉冲时间外增加延迟的时间,造成打印速度的降低。The known method for calibrating the printing of the inkjet head is to implement software in the printer system, but this will cause an overload of the printer system and affect the printing speed. Moreover, the application of this method must install an optical sensor on the printer, which increases the cost of the printer, and the known technology needs to add a delay time outside the pulse time of each position, resulting in a reduction in printing speed.

具体实施方式Detailed ways
为使本发明的上述目的、特征和优点能更明显易懂,下文特举出本发明的较佳实施例,并配合所附图式,作详细说明如下:In order to make the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the preferred embodiments of the present invention are specially enumerated below, and in conjunction with the attached drawings, the detailed description is as follows:
图1a为一喷墨图歪斜侦测示意图,其中 10a为喷墨头在正常情形下,接收一测试打印数据后打印的图形,而 10b为喷墨头歪斜情形下,接收一测试打印数据后打印的图形。在图1a中,区域I为喷墨头在没有接收任何位移修正量的打印情形,区域II则是喷墨头分别接受在向右或向左的位移方向不同的位移量以及没接受任何位移量后的打印结果。在本图中,喷墨头分别接受向右位移一、二、三个dpi(图上显示为+1、+2和+3),向左位移一、二、三个dpi(图上显示为-1、-2与-3),而标示0的线表示没接受任何位移量。在 10a中,区域I和区域II的线条中,是标示0的线条能够连接在一起,这表示此喷墨头是正常,无需经过校正。在 10b中,区域I和区域II的线条中,是标示+1的线条能够连接在一起,这表示此喷墨头向左方歪斜,歪斜位移量为1个dpi。借由上述的方式便可得知喷墨头是否有歪斜的情形,以及歪斜的方向和歪斜位移量。Figure 1a is a schematic diagram of inkjet image skew detection, where 10a is the pattern printed by the inkjet head after receiving a test print data under normal conditions, and 10b is the print after receiving a test print data when the inkjet head is skewed graphics. In Figure 1a, area I is the printing situation where the inkjet head does not receive any displacement correction, and area II is the inkjet head that accepts different displacements in the right or left direction and does not receive any displacement. After printing the result. In this figure, the inkjet head receives one, two, and three dpi displacements to the right (shown as +1, +2, and +3 on the picture), and one, two, and three dpi to the left (shown as -1, -2 and -3), and the line marked with 0 means that no displacement was accepted. In 10a , among the lines in area I and area II, the lines marked with 0 can be connected together, which means that the inkjet head is normal and does not need to be calibrated. In 10b , among the lines in area I and area II, the lines marked +1 can be connected together, which means that the inkjet head is skewed to the left, and the skew displacement is 1 dpi. By means of the above method, it can be known whether the inkjet head is skewed, as well as the direction of the skew and the amount of skew displacement.
图1b为一喷墨头示意图,图上0~3F则代表每一个喷嘴(nozzle)。在本图中,喷墨头具有两排的喷嘴,分别接受地址信号(A1~A8)与像素选择信号(PS1~PS8)控制,其中第一排喷嘴为像素选择信号PS1、PS3、PS5与PS7配合地址信号A1~A8组成,第二排喷嘴为像素选择信号PS2、PS4、PS6与PS8配合地址信号A1~A8组成。而每一排喷嘴又可以多个区块(bank)来作控制,每一个区块都是由一个像素选择信号配合地址信号A1~A8组成,在打印时同一个区块内,同一时间只能有一个地址信号动作。喷墨头打印时为先致能地址信号A1,接着有需要打印的喷嘴其对应的像素选择信号便致能,以此类推至地址信号A8。在本说明书下文中会提到将对应喷墨头上的每一个喷嘴的每一个行数据区分为多个区段的步骤,在此步骤中,区段的区分必须包含了整数个区块,不能有将某一个区块划分在不同区段的情形。FIG. 1b is a schematic diagram of an inkjet head, and 0-3F in the figure represent each nozzle. In this figure, the inkjet head has two rows of nozzles, which are controlled by address signals (A1~A8) and pixel selection signals (PS1~PS8) respectively, and the first row of nozzles are pixel selection signals PS1, PS3, PS5 and PS7 It is composed of address signals A1-A8, and the second row of nozzles is composed of pixel selection signals PS2, PS4, PS6 and PS8 in conjunction with address signals A1-A8. And each row of nozzles can be controlled by multiple banks. Each bank is composed of a pixel selection signal and address signals A1~A8. In the same bank during printing, only There is an address signal action. When the inkjet head prints, the address signal A1 is enabled first, and then the pixel selection signal corresponding to the nozzle to be printed is enabled, and so on to the address signal A8. The step of dividing each row of data corresponding to each nozzle on the inkjet head into multiple segments will be mentioned later in this specification. In this step, the division of segments must include an integer number of blocks, and cannot There are cases where a certain block is divided into different sections.
图1c为一喷墨头正常打印下的图形。在正常打印下喷墨头11与喷墨头移动方向13垂直,此时喷墨头上每一个喷嘴(nozzle)12在同一个位置脉冲(position pulse)时全部滴墨(firing),就可以得到一直线的图形,其中每一个位置脉冲的时间为t_p。底下的实施例说明皆以具有两排喷嘴12的喷墨头11,且每排喷嘴12上所有喷嘴12在每一个位置脉冲时,全部滴墨的打印情形来做说明。Figure 1c is a pattern printed by an inkjet head under normal conditions. Under normal printing, the
图2为一喷墨头向左倾斜时的打印情形。因为喷墨头11向左倾斜,使得原先应与喷墨头移动方向13垂直的两排喷嘴12打印的结果为一向左歪斜的直线,为了校正这样的打印结果,本发明提出一种喷墨头打印校正的方法,以改善喷墨头11歪斜造成的打印结果。Fig. 2 is a printing situation when an inkjet head is inclined to the left. Because the
图3为根据本发明的一实施例示意图。在本实施例中,喷墨头向左歪斜的位移量为2个dpi,因此我们将传送到喷墨头11打印的每一个行数据(column data)由上而下区分为I与II两个区段,接着取出连续的行数据中的其中三行说明。将行数据31、行数据32与行数据33传送至一喷墨头打印校正模组34中重新排列,使得行数据32的32_I区段与行数据31的31_II区段同时打印,行数据33的33_I区段与行数据32的32_II区段同时打印。由打印结果可以发现,虽然打印的结果仍然会向左歪斜,但相较图2的打印结果,已改善原先非常歪斜的打印结果,进而提高了打印品质。Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the displacement of the inkjet head to the left is 2 dpi, so we divide each row data (column data) sent to the
图4为根据本发明的另一实施例示意图。在本实施例中,喷墨头向左歪斜的位移量为3个dpi,因此我们将传送到喷墨头打印的每一个行数据由上而下区分为I、II与III三个区段,接着取出连续的行数据中的其中四行说明。将行数据41、行数据42、行数据43与行数据44传送至一喷墨头打印校正模组34中重新排列,使得行数据43的43_I区段、行数据42的42_II区段与行数据41的41_III区段同时打印,行数据44的44_I区段、行数据43的43_II区段与行数据42的42_III区段同时打印。由打印结果可以发现,虽然打印的结果仍然会向左歪斜,相较图3的打印校正结果,将每一行数据区分为三个区段的打印校正结果,更大幅改善原先图2中非常歪斜的结果,大幅提升打印品质。Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the displacement of the inkjet head to the left is 3 dpi, so we divide each row of data sent to the inkjet head to print from top to bottom into three sections, I, II and III, Next, four rows of descriptions in the continuous row data are taken out. Send the line data 41, line data 42, line data 43 and line data 44 to an inkjet head
图5为根据本发明的另一实施例示意图。本实施例所应用的方法是将每一行数据区分为N个区段,采用一分时打印方式。但为避免增加打印时间,因此N个区段的总打印时间必须小于或等于原先每一位置脉冲时间t_p,亦就是每一区段的打印时间小于或等于tp/N。在本实施例中,喷墨头歪斜的位移量为2个dpi,因此将每一行数据区分为I与II两个区段,因此每一区段的打印时间必须小于或等于tp/2。将行数据51传送至一喷墨头打印校正模组34,使得行数据51的51_I区段先进行打印,待51_I区段打印完毕后在将行数据51的51_II区段进行打印,完成行数据51的打印。由打印结果可以发现,虽然打印的结果仍然会向左歪斜,但相较图2的打印结果,已改善原先非常歪斜的打印结果,进而提高了打印品质。Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram according to another embodiment of the present invention. The method applied in this embodiment is to divide each row of data into N segments, and adopt a time-sharing printing method. However, in order to avoid increasing the printing time, the total printing time of the N segments must be less than or equal to the original position pulse time t_p, that is, the printing time of each segment is less than or equal to t p /N. In this embodiment, the skew displacement of the inkjet head is 2 dpi, so each row of data is divided into two sections I and II, so the printing time of each section must be less than or equal to t p /2.
