WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/132694

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

Disclosed is a method for generating printer coordinates intended to realize higher-resolution printed images when printing images on the surface of three-dimensional media. A printer control device (100), which controls the printing of a three-dimensional ink jet printer (200), is provided with a printer coordinate generation unit (104) for identifying print locations at equal intervals on the surface of a medium (300), and also for generating printer coordinates for each print location at the rotation position of the medium (300), which faces the print location tangent horizontal direction; the device is also provided with a printer coordinate compression unit (105) for cancelling the printer coordinates that have the same coordinate difference for at least three consecutive coordinates on all axes and that fall between the start printer coordinate and the end printer coordinate, for setting the compression number that shows the number of cancelled printer coordinates on one of either the start printer coordinate or the end printer coordinate, and for compressing the printer coordinates generated by the printer coordinate generation unit (104).
