An image processing apparatus comprises a first storage and a second, a plurality of image processing units that perform image processing on pixel data of image data read from the first storage or the second storage, and a writing unit that writes the pixel data, processed by the plurality of image processing units, into the second storage. The plurality of image processing units include a directivity image processing unit that performs image processing on the image data in mutually different directions by reading and supplying to an image processing unit of the plurality of image processing units the pixel data written into the second storage. Target pixel data processed by the directivity image processing unit is written into the second storage in an order of arrangement which is different from the order of arrangement of pixels in the image data stored in the first storage.

A unit for supplying a substrate-treating liquid is provided with a first reservoir and a second reservoir between which a differential pressure is constantly maintained to establish a flow rate, along with a substrate-treating apparatus having the unit for supplying the substrate-treating liquid. The unit for supplying the substrate-treating liquid includes a supply reservoir module and a buffer reservoir module. The supply reservoir module includes a first reservoir for supplying the substrate-treating liquid to an inkjet head unit for jetting the substrate-treating liquid onto a substrate, and a second reservoir for recovering the substrate-treating liquid that remains unused in the inkjet head unit. The buffer reservoir module is configured to provide the substrate-treating liquid to the first reservoir. Differential pressure is constantly maintained between the first reservoir and the second reservoir.

In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a fluid analysis system is described. The fluid analysis system includes a fluidic die. The fluidic die includes a fluid chamber to hold a volume of fluid to be analyzed and an impedance sensor disposed within the fluid chamber. The impedance sensor measures an impedance of the fluid in the fluid chamber. The fluid analysis system also includes an evaluator device electrically coupled to the impedance sensor. The evaluator device determines at least one property of the fluid based on the impedance.

An ink supply device includes a plurality of ink containers, a plurality of heater units, a frame, a lower fixing member and an upper fixing member. In the ink container, ink is stored. The heater units are arranged in a horizontal arrangement direction. The heater unit includes a tube in which the ink fed from the ink container is passed, a hearer heating the ink passing through the tube and a casing by which the tube and the heater are supported. In the frame, the ink containers and the heater units are stored. The lower fixing member is fixedly mounted to the frame and holds all lower portions of the heater units. The upper fixing member is detachably mounted to the frame and holds all upper portions of the heater units.

A printing device includes a liquid ejecting unit configured to eject a liquid and perform printing on fiber to be transported, and a supply flow path for supplying a liquid accommodated in a liquid accommodating body to the liquid ejecting unit. Furthermore, the printing device includes a selection unit configured to enable a user to select a finished state of the printed fiber in advance, and a control unit. The control unit is configured to control a control target so as to match a condition corresponding to the finished state specified by the selection unit.

A formulation unit for an inkjet printing machine, wherein the inkjet printing machine comprises a printing unit with a printing device and with an ink supply device for supplying ink to the printing device. The formulation unit comprises at least one preparation device for the preparation of ink and at least one storage tank for storing prepared ink.

A liquid supply system includes one or a plurality tubes, a liquid delivery mechanism and a processor. The one or plurality tubes is connected to a tank. The tank is provided further upstream than a printer. Liquid flows through the one or plurality tubes between the tank and the printer. The liquid delivery mechanism is provided in the one or plurality of tubes, and switches between a liquid delivery state and a stopped state. The processor performs supply processing of supplying the liquid from the tank toward the printer via the one or plurality of tubes, by controlling the liquid delivery mechanism to be in the liquid delivery state, and return processing of returning the liquid from the printer toward the tank via the one or plurality of tubes, by controlling the liquid delivery mechanism to be in the liquid delivery state.

A droplet measurement system (DMS) is used in concern with an industrial printer used to fabricate a thin film layer of a flat panel electronic device. A clear tape serves as a printing substrate to receive droplets from hundreds of nozzles simultaneously, while an optics system photographs the deposited droplets through the tape (i.e., through a side opposite the printhead). This permits immediate image analysis of deposited droplets, for parameters such as per-nozzle volume, landing position and other characteristics, without having to substantially reposition the DMS or printhead. The tape can then be advanced and used for a new measurement. By providing such a high degree of concurrency, the described system permits rapid measurement and update of droplet parameters for printers that use hundreds or thousands of nozzles, to provide a real-time understanding of per-nozzle expected droplet parameters, in a manner that can be factored into print planning.
