In surface mount technology (SMT), the screen printer, which is an equipment for applying solder cream, has a lot of poor coating as the pad becomes smaller. To solve this problem, a jet printer is being used recently. However, if the nozzle at the end of the valve applied to the jet printer head is not cleaned, solder cream remains or an error occurs. To prevent this, the nozzles should be cleaned periodically. In this paper, a more stable cleaning method than the existing technology is presented for the stable application of solder cream on a jet printer. In this method, cut a 35mm wide mujin cloth, wrap it in a roll, and rotate it with a DC geared motor on the other side to clean it. As a result, it was confirmed that the solder paste was not left on the nozzle surface and was well wiped when cleaning with about 2,000 dotting cycles.

Color reproductions in most ink jet printer are quite different from that of standard CRT (cathode ray tube) monitor display because of the nonlinear characteristic in subtractive color reproduction. Gray scale CCT(correlated color temperature) reproductions in a typical printer are vary with the input RGB level. A simple method for making constant gray scale CCT and gamma value in photo paper is proposed in this paper. The compensation of the CCT with white point of the photo paper under the CIE standard illuminant D65 and color correction has been confirmed using the LUT(look-up table) to compensate the CCT and gamma curve characteristic.

This paper focuses on the development of RT technology suitable for manufacturing a small quantity of metal prototype of a precise part from an RP master. Dimensional accuracy and surface roughness are evaluated from Thermojet part of a 3D printer, and effective post-processing method is introduced. Investment casting is done using a prototype built from 3D printer as a wax pattern. Ceramic shell investment casting technique is developed to build a prototype with materials mostly wanted. Also, experimental result shows this research is very useful in manufacturing of a small quantity of functional part or a test part of a specific material.

The print quality of a ink jet printer is generally affected by three major components of the printing process: printer, ink formulation, and paper. The result of this study indicated that the surface sized paper with oxidized starch and cationic starch differed ink jet print quality in terms of ink spread and black optical density of the print image. Paper properties, like air permeability and siting degree, which may influence the ink jet printing were also measured. It was found that black print quality was controlled by starch level and ionic charge on the paper surface. Cationic surface sizing starch improved black ink jet print quality.

In this paper, a position control scheme of the ink droplet is presented for the high image quality and print speed ink jet printer. The proposed scheme estimates the impact position and compensates it by control of the jet strobe time based on the dynamic equations describing the moving trajectory of the ejected ink droplet. Compared to the conventional jet strobe control which is based on the simple synchronization with the position signal of the ink jet nozzle, the proposed control scheme provides more accurate impact position control while the carrier is moving with accelerated or decelerated speed as well as steady state speed with fluctuations. The availability of printing during the acceleration and deceleration states of the carrier moving enables the print speed up and the frame size down which means the cost down.

Recently, 3D printer technologies have been used in many research efforts for high precision manufacturing. In particular, the rapid prototyping technology has been developing rapidly, because it can be manufactured in a short time with a 3D designed shape. This paper relates to the production characteristics of the straight bevel gear designed using a 3D print using the PolyJet method. The characteristics of a 3D printed straight bevel gear were compared with a machined straight bevel gear. The accuracy of the produced straight bevel gear was evaluated by backlash, meshing pattern, face angle, root angle, and surface roughness.

Ink-jet printing technology has been widely attractive due to its facility for direct and fine printing on various substrates. Recent studies have focused on expanding the application of ink-jet printing technology from general consumer use and design companies to the prototype production of precision parts and parts manufacturing. The use of ink-jet printing technology in decorated tableware, tiles, and other ceramic products also has many advantages. The printing process is fast and can be adaptable to various kinds of objects because there is no direct contact point between the printer and the substrates to be printed. For application to ceramic product decoration, inks containing highly dispersed inorganic nano-pigments are required. Here we report the synthesis and characterization of blue $CoAl_2O_4$ nanopigment for ink-jet printing. Blue ceramic ink based on the obtained $CoAl_2O_4$ pigment was prepared by dissolving $CoAl_2O_4$ pigment in a mixed solution of ethylene glycol and ethanol with volume ratios of 7:3 and 8:2, respectively, to obtain the appropriate viscosity for ink-jet printing. The ink solution contained 15 wt% of $CoAl_2O_4$ pigment and Cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide(CTAB) and Sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS) as dispersive agents. The prepared blue ceramic ink was stably jetted and formed a sphere-shaped droplet from an ink-jet printer.

To analyzed the shape of Yellow Dots which appeared on the paper printed HP color laser printer, and analyzed the characteristic of Yellow Dots according to time, month, year and same printers. As a result, documents that printed in same printers had an identical Yellow Dots's shapes according to time, month, year. It was presupposed that was not embedded time and date information in HP Color LaserJet printers against Xerox, and printers which have different serial number had similar shapes but it was not identical Yellow Dots. Finally, it was found to be identical patterns in Yellow Dots of HP Color LaserJet printers used analysis. Depending on the results, it could understand HP's pattern. In the future, it will decipher patterns of Yellow Dots which have other informations to include other printer manufacturer.

BPA(Black Printer Algorithm)은 잉크젯 프린터에서 사용되는 C(사이안), M(마젠타), Y(옐로우) 잉크에 대한 검정(Black) 잉크의 양을 결정하는 알고리즘이다. CMY 잉크로 인쇄한 이미지의 칼라 품질은 모니터가 재생할 수는 있는 칼라 영역보다 적다. 또한 CMY 잉크를 각각 100% 씩 섞었을 때 이론적으로는 검정 색이 나와야 하나 실제는 검정 색을 정확하게 재현하지 못한다. 그래서 대부분의 프린터는 검정(K) 잉크를 기본으로 제공하며 CMY 잉크로 표현될 회색 영역의 부분을 검정 잉크로 대신 표현해 주기 때문에 프린터의 재현 영역을 확장시킬 수 있다. 또한 검정 잉크의 사용으로 인쇄품질의 색조 대비(contrast)를 증가시킬 수 있고 CMY 잉크를 검정 잉크로 대신 인쇄하기 때문에 CMY 잉크를 절약하는 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 본 잉크젯 프린터의 K(black) 잉크와 CMY(cyan, magenta, yellow) 잉크와의 관계를 살펴보았고 이 특성을 이용해 검정 잉크를 조절하는 방법 중에 하나인 3차 다항식의 BPA(Black Printer Algorithm)를 구현하였다. 결과에서는 성능 테스트에 대한 내용과 성능 향상을 위한 방법에 대해 논의하였다.
