Abstract:
Method and apparatus for digital printing of textiles with application of immobilization compound on the textile prior to printing. The method comprises, finding failed printing nozzles; carrying out immobilization of the textile without using at least some of the nozzles neighboring a failed printing nozzle; and printing the textile. The immobilization generally prevents the printing ink from running, so leaving out immobilization around the failed nozzle allows ink to seep into the unprinted gap. The immobilization however also stabilizes the ink, so one embodiment keeps some of the neighboring nozzles on during the immobilization.

Claim (Index 12):
Apparatus for digital printing of a substrate with immobilization of the color printing ink, the apparatus comprising:\n a printhead comprising a plurality of printing nozzles; a nozzle failure analyzer configured to find failed printing nozzles; an immobilization controller configured to carry out a modified operation of said print head to carry out immobilization treatment on the substrate without using at least some of nozzles neighboring a failed printing nozzle; and a print controller configured to operate said print head to print color printing ink on the substrate, thereby allowing said color printing ink to bleed into a print region of said failed printing nozzle.
