Title:
PRINTING DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PRINTING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/208511
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided are a printing device with which it is possible for positioning of a printing head with respect to an ink ribbon to be achieved using a simple configuration, thereby enabling highly accurate color printing to be performed, and a method for controlling the same. A control unit 1 of the printing device detects, on the basis of outputs from a first sensor 31 and a second sensor 32, a first position of a boundary between a black ink layer K printed in the previous cycle and an adjacent overprint layer OP printed in the previous cycle, and uses the first position as a reference to perform positioning of a print start position of a thermal head 5 with respect to an unprinted yellow ink layer Y (figure 4(a), figure 4(b)), detects a second position of a boundary between an unprinted black ink layer K and an adjacent unprinted cyan ink layer C, on the basis of the outputs from the first sensor 31 and the second sensor 32, and uses the second position as a reference to perform positioning of the print start position of the thermal head 5 with respect to the cyan ink layer C (figure 4(f)).
