Abstract

Printing systems and method of printing on substrates are provided. A method of printing one or more images using a printhead, the method including moving a substrate on a transporter, providing a printhead configured to print a plurality of print lines in a direction, rotating an image to an image angle relative to the direction of the print lines, and printing the image rotated to an angle onto the substrate.

Claims (31)

1 . A method of printing one or more images using a printhead, the method comprising:

moving a substrate on a transporter;

providing a printhead configured to print a plurality of print lines in a direction;

rotating an image to an image angle relative to the direction of the print lines; and

printing the image rotated to an image angle onto the substrate.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising moving the transporter to a transporter angle relative to the printhead, the transporter angle substantially equals the image angle.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the transporter angle is about 45 degrees.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the image angle is about 45 degrees.

5 . A method of printing one or more images on a substrate using a printhead, the method comprising:

moving a substrate on a transporter in a direction;

rotating at least two orifices on a printhead to an orifice angle relative to the transporter, the printhead configured to print a plurality of print lines in a direction substantially parallel to the direction of the transporter;

rotating an image to an image angle relative to the print lines; and

printing the image rotated to an image angle.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the orifices are parallel to a side of the printhead.

7 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the orifices are rotated to the orifice angle relative to a side of the printhead.

8 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the orifice angle is about 45 degrees.

9 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the image angle is about 45 degrees.

10 . A printing system comprising:

a printhead configured to print a plurality of print lines in a direction;

a transporter for moving a substrate relative to the printhead; and

an image rotated to an image angle relative to the direction of the print lines, the printhead prints the image onto the substrate.

11 . The printing system of claim 11 , wherein the transporter being rotated to a transporter angle relative to the printhead and the transporter angle substantially equals the image angle.

12 . The printing system of claim 11 , further comprising an image database for storing images.

13 . The printing system of claim 11 , further comprising a digital imager for processing the image.

14 . The printing system of claim 11 , further comprising a computer network through which the image travels to the printhead.

15 . The printing system of claim 11 , further comprising an ink reservoir.

16 . The printing system of claim 11 , further comprising a control unit to control functions of the printhead.

17 . The printing system of claim 11 , wherein the printhead includes at least two orifices rotated to an orifice angle relative to the transporter.

18 . The printing system of claim 17 , wherein the orifices are parallel to a side of the printhead.

19 . The printing system of claim 17 , wherein the orifices are rotated to the orifice angle relative to a side of the printhead.

20 . The printing system of claim 11 , wherein the image angle is about 45 degrees.
