It also includes trays for coupling those suitcases that have an uneven shape, controlling the movement thereof and the correct alignment of the side to be printed.

An image forming apparatus includes plural rotating members that are rotatable; an annular circulating member that is wound around the plural rotating members and circulates when the rotating members rotate; a retaining member attached to an attaching portion of the circulating member and that circulates together with the circulating member, the retaining member being configured to retain a recording medium in an area where the attaching portion comes into contact with one of the rotating members; an image forming section that forms an image on the recording medium at an image forming position defined on a circulation path along which the circulating member circulates; a delivering unit that delivers the recording medium to a retaining position where the recording medium is to be retained by the retaining member; a detector that detects rotation of the one rotating member; and a controller that controls delivery of the recording medium from the delivering unit to the retaining position, the delivery being controlled with reference to information detected by the detector.

A recording device includes a recording head for performing recording on a recording medium, a transporter for transporting the recording medium, a platen for supporting the recording medium, a heater for heating the recording medium supported by the platen, and a control unit, wherein the control unit causes the heater to heat the recording medium at a predetermined and constant heating temperature, causes the recording head and the transporter to record a first test pattern of a predetermined recording density, and a second test pattern of a recording density different from the predetermined recording density on the recording medium, and the recording density of the first test pattern and the recording density of the second test pattern can be set in the heater, and are associated with heating temperature different from each other.

Provided is a print system including: a moving body supporting a can body and moving; an annular moving route that is an annular-shaped moving route, along which the moving body moves, including at least one of a linear moving route extending from an upper side toward a lower side and is formed linearly, and a linear moving route extending from the lower side toward the upper side and is formed linearly; and an image forming unit performing image formation onto the can body supported by the moving body.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of printing, and provides a digital printing press. The digital printing press includes a frame, and an unwinder, a driver, an inkjet printer, a curer and a winder that are arranged on the frame, where the driver drives a substrate to move from the unwinder to the winder along a substrate path, the inkjet printer and the curer are arranged above a printing segment of the substrate path, the printing segment of the substrate path is in the shape of an arch, and the arch bends toward the inkjet printer and the curer. The UV light from the curer can be reflected by the substrate to a position other than the inkjet printer as a result of the arched printing segment. UV light is prevented from entering the inkjet printer's nozzle, extending the inkjet printer's service life.

Disclosed is a printing device including at least one processor and a print head. The processor detects a nail region based on an image obtained by photographing a finger or a toe, sets at least a part of the detected nail region as a preceding print setting region, detects a region on which the preceding print is printed as a succeeding print region based on an image obtained by photographing the finger or the toe on which the preceding print is printed, sets a succeeding print region reference point corresponding to the succeeding print region, or sets a preceding print setting region reference point corresponding to the preceding print setting region and the succeeding print region reference point, and causes the print head to print a succeeding print on the nail region based on information on the preceding print setting region and a reference point that is set.

An image forming system generates second image data representing a result of a reading unit reading an image on a sheet, corrects the second image data using correction data, the correction data being data obtained on the basis of image data obtained by the reading unit reading a predetermined image formed on the sheet by an image forming unit and image data corresponding to the predetermined image, and inspects, on the basis of the corrected second image data and a first image data, an image formed on the sheet on the basis of the first image data.

Disclosed is droplet ejecting apparatus that ejects droplets of a functional liquid onto a workpiece to draw a pattern. The droplet ejecting apparatus includes: a workpiece table; a droplet ejecting head configured to eject the droplets onto the workpiece placed on the workpiece table; a movement mechanism configured to relatively move the workpiece table and the droplet ejecting head in a main scanning direction and a sub-scanning direction; and a control unit configured to: detect a position of the workpiece or a position of the workpiece table while relatively moving the workpiece table and the droplet ejecting head along a plurality of scanning lines extending in the main scanning direction and set side by side in the sub-scanning direction; and create, based on a detection result, a correction table that indicates a correlation between a position of the movement mechanism and a positional correction amount of the workpiece table.

According to one embodiment, the label printer includes a light irradiation unit that irradiates an area illuminated by external light where a label on which printing is completed exists with light, a light irradiation control unit that switches between light irradiation and non-irradiation by the light irradiation unit, a light receiving unit that acquires an optical signal from the area where the label on which printing is completed exists in synchronization with the light irradiation and non-irradiation by the light irradiation control unit, and a label presence or absence determination unit that determines the presence or absence of a label based on a first signal acquired by the light-receiving unit if the light irradiation unit is not emitting light and a second signal acquired by the light receiving unit if the light irradiation unit is emitting light.

An information processing apparatus includes a type reception unit, a notification unit, a mode reception unit, and a determination unit. The mode reception unit receives a mode selected from among a plurality of modes for determining a determined type of recording medium for use in a recording apparatus, wherein the information processing apparatus is configured to perform operations including determining, in a designation mode, a selected type of recording medium indicated by information received by the type reception unit, and determining, in an automatic determination mode, an automatically determined type of recording medium for use in the recording apparatus without receiving input user information indicating the recording medium type. In response to the determination unit determining that the mode is able to be changed from the designation mode to the automatic determination mode, the notification unit issues a prompting notification to prompt a user to change the mode.
