The present invention refers to a plant (1) for printing a fibrous material (T). The printing plant (1) comprises: a station (14) for supplying a fibrous material configured for supplying the fibrous material along a predetermined operative path, a treating station (10) configured for treating the fibrous material with a treatment composition by applying the composition itself on a first side (T1) of the fibrous material (T); and a printing station (6) configured for ink-printing at least part of a second side (T2) of the fibrous material (T) opposite to the first side (T1). Moreover, the present invention refers to a process of printing a fibrous material.

A recording device includes a recorder, a placement portion, an adjustment mechanism, a movement mechanism, a medium detector, an input portion, and a notification portion. The recorder performs a first operation of moving the placement portion to a first position to cause at least a portion of the placement portion to be located at a detection position, causing the medium detector to detect, at the first position, whether or not the medium is at a reference position, and causing the notification portion to notify information based on a detection result of the medium detector, and a second operation of moving the placement portion to cause an entire region of the placement portion in a second direction to pass through the detection position, causing the medium detector to detect whether or not the medium is at the reference position while the medium is passing through the detection position, and causing the notification portion to notify the information based on the detection result of the medium detector.

A recording device includes a recorder, a placement portion, an adjustment mechanism, a movement mechanism, a medium detector, an input portion, a notification portion, and storage. The recorder performs a positional information notification operation of causing the notification portion to notify positional information of the placement portion in a first direction based on identification information of a medium input by the input portion and correspondence information stored in the storage, and a detection result notification operation including moving the placement portion so that an entire region in the second direction of the placement portion passes through a detection position, causing the medium detector to detect whether the medium is located at a reference position during when the medium is passing through the detection position, and causing the notification portion to notify information based on a result of the detection by the medium detector.

A system and method of printing on a strand element with a printer head. The printer head includes a conduit and a cavity formed within the conduit, wherein the cavity is configured to receive the strand element and pass the strand element from a first end of the cavity to a second end of the cavity. The printer head also includes a set of nozzles formed on the conduit and positioned on a perimeter of the cavity around a first target location within the cavity, wherein at least one of the nozzles is a fluid nozzle configured to dispense a fluid, and at least one of the nozzles is a vacuum nozzle configured to apply a vacuum force on the cavity.

An information processing device includes an acquisition unit acquiring pre-printing image data that is obtained by digitizing, as an image, the fabric before the printing process is performed and at least one of pre-drawing image data that is obtained by digitizing, as an image, the fabric after the pre-processing is performed and before the image is drawn and post-drawing image data that is obtained by digitizing, as an image, the fabric before the post-processing is performed and after the image is drawn, a storage unit storing derivation data indicating a correspondence relationship between the pre-printing image data, the pre-drawing image data or the post-drawing image data, and a recommended parameter for at least one of the pre-processing device and the post-processing device, and a control unit deriving, based on the derivation data, the recommended parameter from the pre-printing image data, the pre-drawing image data or the post-drawing image data.

An apparatus and method for treating a sheet fibrous material to be printed with ink. The apparatus includes a conveyor belt movable along a closed path including an operative section defining a plurality of bends, an inlet station that receives the sheet fibrous material and adheres a first side of the material to an exposed surface of the conveyor belt, a drying station placed at the operative section and configured to at least partially dry the sheet fibrous material, and an applicator for applying a wet treatment agent to the material prior to drying.

A system for stretching a surface of a shoe for digitally printing onto the surface by an external device, the system comprising an apparatus and a controller in electrical communication, the system having: a main plate to receive and support the shoe; a side arm to traverse longitudinally along an edge of a medial portion of the main plate and to engage with at least a portion of the tongue of the shoe; and a driver causing the longitudinal traversal of the side arm, having: an end bearing and an end connector; a rotary band; an end bracket opposite the end bearing and beneath the main plate; a driving screw between the end bracket and the end bearing, and associated with the side arm; and a motor adapted to receive an electrical signal from the controller selectively causing a rotation of a rotary shaft of the motor.

In an example of the disclosure, a print job is received. The print job includes an image to be printed upon a substrate utilizing printheads. The print job is analyzed to determine a set of imaged segments, a set of image-adjacent segments, and a set of remote segments. The print job is printed upon the substrate utilizing a first set of printheads. A cooling liquid is applied to the set of image-adjacent segments of the printed print job utilizing a second set of printheads downstream from the first set of printheads. The printed job is exposed to an array of controllable illumination elements. The array of illumination elements is controlled to apply a drying illumination to the imaged segments and the image-adjacent segments of the printed print job, without providing the drying illumination to the remote segments.

The invention relates to the field of printing and dyeing and discloses a printing device capable of realizing combined jet printing including a cross beam, inkjet devices and a power device, wherein at least two inkjet devices are provided and installed on the cross beam as well as can be driven by the power device to move relative to the cross beam, the inkjet devices can move relative to the cross beam in a separate manner and can implement the inkjet action separately. According to the invention, the jet printing of ground color and pattern can be realized in the equipment by arranging at least two inkjet devices capable of moving in a separate manner in one cross beam, which is conducive to reducing the enterprise cost; meanwhile, transfer links of a medium among different equipments are avoided to improve the production efficiency.
