Abstract
According to one example of the present invention there is provided a method of printing, with a printer, an image on a substrate, the printer comprising a substrate support. The method comprises obtaining an image to be printed, determining an offset position of a substrate positioned on the substrate support relative to a predetermined reference printing position, and controlling the printer to print the image to be printed at the determined offset position.
Claims20
A printer comprising:
- a writing mechanism to print an image on a substrate;
- a substrate support to support the substrate during printing, from which:
- image data is acquired;
- and
- a skew of the substrate on the substrate support relative to a reference printing position is determined;
- and
- a printer controller to adjust printing of the image to correct for the determined skew.
4 more elements
A method comprising:
- acquiring image data representing a visual representation of at least a portion of elements of the substrate support and a substrate disposed thereon;
- from the image data of the substrate support elements, determining a position of the substrate on the substrate support;
- adjusting an image to be printed based on the position of the substrate;
- and
- printing the adjusted imaged on the substrate.
2 more elements
A printer comprising:
- an imaging module to acquire image data representing a visual representation of at least a portion of elements of the substrate support and a substrate disposed thereon;
- a printer controller to:
- from the image data of the substrate support elements, determine a positon of the substrate on the substrate support;
- and
- adjust an image to be printed based on the position of the substrate;
- and
- a writing mechanism to print the adjusted imaged on the substrate.
