Abstract: A method for locating a printing substrate moving on a conveyor surface. The method includes i) providing the printing substrate moving on a conveyor surface at a selectable speed and in a feed direction, ii) providing an illumination means configured to emit a light beam incident on the conveyor surface according to a predetermined angle, iii) acquiring a predetermined plurality of lines of the substrate, as a function of a line frequency defined as a function of an acquisition rate, iv) generating a primary image as a function of the predetermined plurality of lines, v) detecting, from the primary image, points representative of the substrate, and vi) calculating location coordinates of the substrate relative to the first predefined reference as a function of the plurality of representative points.

Abstract: A method for rotating a digital image in order to print a corresponding rotated print image. The method includes i) providing the digital image to be printed on the printing substrate; ii) receiving positioning coordinates of the substrate relative to a first predefined reference; and iii) rotating the image relative to its centre as a function of the positioning coordinates, thus determining a rotated image. According to one aspect, the rotation is performed by means of a technique of mapping between pixels of the rotated image and pixels of the digital image, and calculating a matrix of correspondences between the pixels of the rotated image and the pixels of the digital image. According to another aspect, the matrix is configured to indicate how many pixels of the rotated image correspond to pixels of the digital image.

Abstract: A method for digital printing in quantity, including the steps of providing a conveying unit adapted to convey printing substrates, setting a running velocity, providing a digital printer, providing a graphics file as input to the digital printer representing a motif to be reproduced on the printing substrates at a predefined resolution, calculating a decoration frequency for printing with decorative inks as a function of the predefined resolution and of the running velocity, calculating single material printing frequencies for each one of the material inks, calculating a synchronized printing frequency, calculating a scaling factor, calculating an actual printing frequency as a function of the scaling factors, calculating an actual printing resolution as a function of the actual frequency of material to be deposited and of the running velocity, and printing on the printing substrates at the actual printing resolution.
