Abstract
A transfer printing apparatus and a method of printing, using a transfer printing apparatus including a ribbon, the method including using a length and a width of a first bounding area of an image to be printed, the length and the width of the first bounding area being associated with a first orientation of the image to be printed relative to the ribbon, to determine a length and a width of a second bounding area of the image to be printed, the second bounding area being associated with a second orientation of the image to be printed relative to the ribbon of the transfer printing apparatus.
Claims16
A method of printing, using a transfer printing apparatus including a ribbon, the method including using a length and a width of a first bounding area of a first image to be printed, the length and the width of the first bounding area being associated with a first orientation of the first image to be printed relative to the ribbon, to determine a length and a width of a second bounding area of the first image to be printed, the second bounding area being associated with a second orientation of the first image to be printed relative to the ribbon of the transfer printing apparatus.
A transfer printing apparatus including a printhead and controller configured to control a method of printing, the controller being configured to use a length and a width of a first bounding area of a first image to be printed, the length and the width of the first bounding area being associated with a first orientation of the first image to be printed relative to a ribbon, to determine a length and a width of a second bounding area of the first image to be printed, the second bounding area being associated with a second orientation of the first image to be printed relative to the ribbon of the transfer printing apparatus.
A transfer printing system including a transfer printing apparatus including a printhead and a controller configured to control a method of printing, the controller being configured to use a length and a width of a first bounding area of a first image to be printed, the length and the width of the first bounding area being associated with a first orientation of the first image to be printed relative to a ribbon, to determine a length and a width of a second bounding area of the first image to be printed, the second bounding area being associated with a second orientation of the first image to be printed relative to the ribbon of the transfer printing apparatus, the transfer printing system also including the ribbon, and the transfer printing apparatus being configured to transfer marking medium from the ribbon to a substrate to print the first image.
