A method for arranging eggs in a container. Eggs placed in receptacles of the container come to a resting orientation, by virtue of eh contouring of the receptacle, such that a long axis of the first egg is tilted toward a rear portion of the container at nearly uniform angles slightly offset from a vertical axis, and parallel side-to-side. Using features of the container, movement of eggs from their resting orientation, as well as twisting (spinning) about their long axes is resisted during marking, shipping or handling. The orienting of eggs in the receptacles or compartments thereof may be aided by use of an egg orienter. Tilting of the eggs may be facilitated by using receptacles or compartments which are asymmetrically contoured with respect to the vertical axis.

To reduce unevenness in print density. A three-dimensional inkjet printer has a medium holding portion 40 which holds a medium M on which a vibration generator 50 which applies vibrations to the medium holding portion 40 is mounted. Then, vibrations are generated from the vibration generator 50 when ink droplets are ejected from an inkjet head 20 by relatively moving the medium holding portion 40 and inkjet head 20 while rotating the medium holding portion 40 . Because of this, the medium M held by the medium holding portion 40 vibrates, and the landing positions of ink droplets ejected from the inkjet head 20 deviate non-uniformly overall. Because of this, the deviation of dot positions becomes visually inconspicuous, and unevenness in print density decreases.

Method of adjusting surface topography

Номер: US20130074765A1

Автор: Nicholas Campbell, Philip Heylen

Принадлежит: Inca Digital Printers Ltd

Methods for adjusting the topography of a surface, such as for making a support surface substantially flat, e.g. for mitigating variations in a print gap, are described. The topography of the surface is first measured, and then a shim layer is printed to approximate the topography to a reference topography, the thickness of the layer being calculated using the measurements. For example the print gap comprising the distance between the surface of a printer table and printing means, such as a printhead. The print gap is first measured before at least one layer of ink is printed, using the printing means, at a selected position based on the measured print gap. The thickness of the layer of ink is selected to mitigate the variations in the print gap. In some embodiments, a substrate support surface may then be arranged over the printer table, so that the printed layer is disposed between the printer table and the substrate support surface. The apparatus can compensate for variations in the print gap due both to irregularities in the printer table surface and misalignment in mounting of the printing means. Also described is a printer table produced according to the methods described.

Method and Apparatus For Three-Dimensional Digital Printing

Номер: US20130076817A1

Автор: Angelo Raymond Quattrociocchi, John Stewart Olson

Принадлежит: Angelo Raymond Quattrociocchi, John Stewart Olson

Techniques are presented for digital ink jet printing upon a substrate with a significant third dimension. Droplets in the range of 120 pL to 200 pL have been found suitable for substrates with variability, in the third dimension, of up to approximately 4 cm. A larger droplet can be generated by utilizing a plurality of drive pulses, each of which generates a smaller droplet, and having the plurality of smaller droplets combine in mid-air. The data to be printed can be derived from a 3D model and such 3D model can also be used to guide shaping of the substrate. The 3D model can be produced from 2D image data. If the 2D image data is a two-dimensional portrait photograph, a result, of using the present invention, can be a realistic portrait in the form of a bas-relief sculpture.
