Definitions
- the present invention relates to an industrial printer capable of receiving at least one consumable cartridge.
- the ink not used for printing is constantly recycled through a suction circuit. It is necessary to compensate for this evaporation by a complementary and independent contribution of said components.
- This supply is in the form of a cartridge, called an additive cartridge, similar to that which contains the ink.
- Inks inks are chemical compounds whose stability is limited over time. The use of expired ink can result in damage requiring intervention by a service technician, which is expensive. The same is true of the accidental mixture of chemically incompatible consumables, due for example to the use of an inappropriate additive. It is important to prevent such errors by providing a system for the printer to unambiguously identify the nature of the consumables introduced.
- the viscosity of the ink is an important parameter, because it influences the phenomenon of drop formation. It varies in particular depending on the temperature and the concentration of volatile components. In the case of a deviated continuous jet process, it must be maintained within a determined range, compatible with this process. This regulation is done by the supply of a specific quantity of additive. Some printers regulate the viscosity of the ink at a fixed value, regardless of temperature. Other printers regulate the viscosity of the ink to a set value varying with temperature, so as to obtain a constant concentration of said volatile components. Such a regulation process is described in patent application FR-A-8 812 935. Due to the multiplication of industrial marking applications, the inks are increasingly complex and can contain several volatile components simultaneously. The viscosity setpoints as a function of temperature depend on the proportions of each component and it becomes increasingly difficult to store all the corresponding curves in the memory of the printer.
- US-A-5 283 613 describes an electrophotographic reproduction machine, and a control system allowing the use of one or more replaceable cartridges in such a machine.
- This system includes two memories associated with the cartridge, namely an electronic calculation memory and an electronic flag memory respectively for storing the number of prints made with the cartridge and for checking unauthorized interventions on the first memory.
- JP-A-5 193 127 describes an ink jet printer which uses a plug-in print head cartridge comprising a memory in which the parameters and the print control program are saved.
- EP-A-478 019 describes a cartridge discrimination system for imaging devices. These cartridges are toner cartridges comprising a hollow container to receive the toner powder and a magnetic card to indicate the type or position of the cartridge.
- EP-A-412 459 describes an ink jet printing apparatus using removable cartridges. Information defining the characteristics of the ink used is contained on these cartridges, in the form of resistance values. When a cartridge is inserted, contacts the read resistance value and use this value as the characteristic data of the ink in a table stored in a memory of the printing apparatus 1.
- US-A-5 208 631 describes a system for identifying colorimetric properties of toner in a cartridge of a reproduction machine.
- This system includes a PROM ("Programmable Read Only Memory”) memory, located in the cartridge, containing the specific coordinates of the color coordinate system entered into the machine database to classify the color data.
- the reproducing machine includes a developer cartridge for developing color images, a controller including a decoder for classifying colors in the machine and a card disposed on the developer cartridge including address line, power and line contacts. control electrically connected to decoder.
- a memory device supported by the card identifies in the container specific coordinates of a color coordinate system.
- the present invention relates to an industrial printer, allowing printing of data on objects, capable of making the operator's work as easy as possible.
- the present invention relates to an industrial printer capable of receiving at least one consumable cartridge, characterized in that each cartridge is provided with an electronic label which contains information intended to guarantee optimal operation of the printer; and in that the printer is provided with means of communication suitable for establishing a contactless connection by means of electromagnetic waves with the electronic label of each cartridge.
- the main advantages of such contactless communication are to allow positioning of each cartridge in the printer with low accuracy, to avoid any dirt at the junction of the cartridge and the printer, and to allow a loading information on the fly, without prolonged immobilization of the cartridge on the packaging line after filling.
- the establishment of the electromagnetic link does not require any particular intervention from the operator. It can take place at regular intervals.
- the electronic label can contain:
- the electronic label may contain, in particular, the following information:
- the information is loaded into each electronic label when the corresponding cartridge is filled.
- the information is kept in the printer's memory for the purpose of traceability.
- said printer can receive an ink cartridge and an additive cartridge.
- said printer is an ink jet printer.
- An industrial printer 10 communicates with electronic labels 11 and 12 respectively associated with ink cartridges 13 and of additive 14. This communication is a contactless communication carried out via an interface 15 comprising the components 16, 17 suitable for establishing an electromagnetic link 18 with each of these labels 11 and 12.
- the interface 15 ensures the formatting of the information contained in the labels and retransmits them to the electronics 19 of the printer 10 under form of data (DATA).
- the internal electronics initiate communication, for example at regular intervals, via a synchronization signal (CLK) sent to the interface 15.
- CLK synchronization signal
- An electronic label is associated with each cartridge, or consumable bottle. It contains information, allowing the printer to optimize its operation, which it can communicate to the printer.
- the electronic label contains information relating to the consumable contained in the cartridge. We can cite in particular:
- This information is loaded into the label during cartridge filling. They are, for example, available in a database and called according to the ink reference.
- the printer after registering the information on the label, can perform various operations. For example, if it is the first ink cartridge introduced into the printer, the printer is capable of self-programming as a function of the values of the reference parameters relating to the ink in question. If it is a printer already in service, it is capable to verify the chemical compatibility of any new consumable with those already present. In particular, in the case of the deflected continuous jet, the printer checks the compatibility of the ink and the additive introduced. If an anomaly is detected, the printer does not take the consumable contained in the new cartridge. The printer can also verify that the ink expiration date has not passed.
- the printer can keep in memory the information recorded at the introduction of each new cartridge, in particular the batch numbers. These records can be recalled during a maintenance intervention in order to determine that the printer has been in contact with such a batch of consumables, for which abnormal behavior may have been observed after its manufacture.
- Establishing contactless communication does not require any special intervention from the operator. It can take place at regular intervals, for example every ten seconds. If a new ink cartridge is inserted, some of the data contained in the new label is different and the printer saves these differences at the time of the next communication.
- the invention is applicable in particular to the inks, or consumables, used by inkjet printers, in particular those which implement the technology of the deflected continuous jet, but can also be applied to the consumables of any industrial marking installation. .
