Provided is a printing device that can accurately perform printing on a recording medium. The printing device includes: a frame member disposed to surround a nail tip; a printing unit configured to perform printing on the nail tip surrounded by the frame member; a communication part configured to acquire print information which is generated based on an image obtained by capturing the frame member and the nail tip and indicates a layout of printing to be applied to the nail tip in a printable region defined by the frame member; and a print control part configured to control the printing unit based on the acquired print information.

Printing apparatus (20) includes a continuous blanket (24) and a set of motorized rollers (31), which advance the blanket at constant speed through an image area. Print bars (38) eject droplets of ink at respective locations onto the blanket in the image area. Monitoring rollers (42), in proximity to the locations of the print bars, contact the blanket to be rotated by blanket advancement. Each monitoring roller includes an encoder (44), which outputs a signal indicative of a rotation angle of the monitoring roller. A control unit (40) collects, during a calibration phase, the signal from the encoders over multiple rotations of the monitoring rollers, detects a deviation of the signal from the encoder relative to a clock signal having a predefined frequency, and computes runout correction factors. During an operational phase, the control unit applies the runout correction factors to synchronize the droplets ejection from the print bars.

In a printer, a controller determines a type of print medium currently mounted in a mount portion, and acquires a first set of print data correlated with a first medium type and a second set of print data correlated with a second medium type. In a case that a print medium of the first medium type is mounted in the mount portion, a print portion prints a first print image based on the first set of print data, and thereafter prints a second print image based on the second set of print data. In a case that a print medium of the second medium type is mounted in the mount portion, the print portion prints the second print image based on the second set of print data, and thereafter prints the first print image based on the first set of print data.

A marking apparatus includes a marking apparatus main body including a target, a traveling mechanism for automatically traveling on a traveling surface, and a printer, and a control unit configured to control the printer and the mechanism. The control unit controls the traveling so that the mechanism automatically travels along a set traveling route, the control unit compares position coordinates of the marking apparatus main body obtained from three-dimensional position coordinates of the target during traveling input at predetermined intervals with the traveling route, and corrects traveling to eliminate a deviation from the traveling route, the control unit controls the printer so as to print the marking information set at a position corresponding to the position coordinates of the marking apparatus main body, and traveling route data setting the traveling route and marking information data defining the marking information are created based on CAD design data.

A roll holder is for a label roll of linerless labels wound in a crosswise manner. The roll holder has: a horizontally arranged spindle, which is held by a stand on at least one side, and a rotatable roll mount, which is oriented in parallel with the spindle, and which is mounted on the spindle. The roll mount is mounted on the spindle in a linearly displaceable manner using at least one linear bearing.

An apparatus for inkjet printing and curing process for performing on more than one side of a workpiece in one continuous sequential process, the workpiece is shaped as a cube configured with a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and side surfaces connected between the first surface and the second surface. The apparatus for inkjet printing and curing integration process comprises a base, a supporting module, a printing module, a rotary module, and a transporting module, wherein the transporting module moves the workpiece under the printing module for being printed and cured on one side, then the rotary module rotates the workpiece such that a different side is presented for inkjet printing and curing. The printing module thus performs a continuous inkjet printing and curing process on more than one side of a workpiece, and the working efficiency is improved.

Provided is a printing apparatus including: a guide unit configured to guide movement, in a first direction, of the printing apparatus held and moved by a user; a printing unit configured to print an image onto a print medium with the movement in the first direction; a second guide unit configured to guide movement of the printing apparatus in a second direction crossing the first direction; a detection unit configured to detect a relative moving amount between the printing apparatus and the print medium; and a control unit configured to cause a notification unit to make a predetermined notification according to a first distance in the first direction between the printing unit and the detection unit and a position at which an operation of printing a single line by the printing unit is completed.

A printing apparatus includes: an apparatus body held by a user and provided with a printing unit configured to perform printing in a case of being moved in a first direction; a first guide unit configured to guide the movement in the first direction; a second guide unit rotatably held with respect to a structure fixed to the apparatus body and configured to guide movement in a second direction intersecting with the first direction; and a drive unit configured to be connected with the second guide unit and to rotate the second guide unit so that the structure moves to the second direction relative to the second guide unit by driving of the drive unit.
