SummarySummary

Objective: produce a imaging system that is capable of capturing ink drops on the drum and on the paper at identical locations

Current System: clumsy to use, vibrates Current System: clumsy to use, vibrates excessively, and the optical system fails to excessively, and the optical system fails to meet the desired image quality meet the desired image quality

There is no specific imaging system that There is no specific imaging system that compares the drum images to paper imagescompares the drum images to paper images

SummarySummary

SummarySummary

Oil is transferred from the maintenance roller to the drum before ink is transferred by the print head

Ink transfer from drum to paper as the paper feeds between the transfix roller and drum
