Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A module is configured to selectively apply release agent to a web having a sequence of printed imaged formed thereon by a printer. The module includes a plurality of dispensers arranged in a cross-process direction across the imaged web. The module detects positions of areas in the printed images and determines whether the amount of ink in the areas meet or exceed a predetermined density threshold. If an area meets or exceeds the threshold, a controller operates a dispenser to apply release agent to the area on the web as the area passes the dispenser. The controller operates the dispensers with reference to image data of the surface of the web.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A release agent applicator for applying release agent to a web having a sequence of printed images on a first surface comprising: a plurality of dispensers arranged in a cross-process direction across the web as the web moves in a process direction that is perpendicular to the cross-process direction, the process direction and the cross-process direction defining a plane that is parallel to the first surface of the web as the first surface of the web passes in…
