Dirty Dishes | blessednaturalnook
← Happy Birthday Blessing
Azure and Frugal family →
Posted on January 11, 2013 by blessednaturalnook
I am sure many of you have heard the song by Scotty McCreery Dirty Dishes. If you haven’t it’s worth taking the time to listen to. I feel that it fits my life quite well right now.
“I wanna thank You Lord,
My husband workin’ all the time,
Draggin’ in dead tired at night,
And dirty dishes.”
Since we are almost done building I have been finding myself in a “slump” knowing that soon I’ll have much more room, a place to put this, a shelf to stack that. And I have realized just how ungrateful that I have become to what I do have. God has always provided us with more than we need. He’s given me a warm house to live in, plenty of food to eat, more than enough clothes to wear.
As the new year has come I have tried to redirect my focus on being thankful….Thankful for EVERYTHING and trying not to fuss over the little things.
“Noisy kids are happy kids,
Means a job and enough to eat.”
To take the time and realize that it is, people, not houses or things that are what are really important. That one day my children will be all grown up and that I’ll have all these material things left behind and my home will be empty:
“For my little busy bees
Beggin’ mama, mama can we please?
Always wantin’ me to call their name
Loads of laundry pilin’ up
And dirty dishes…”
I have decided this year that I am going to make sure that my family is a multigenerational Christians. That I will be the BEST example of Christian wife and mother to my girls and for my boys to know what to look for when it comes that time.
We will have a “teenager” this year. And unlike most I am looking forward to it. I don’t believe in all the bad wrap that comes with being a “teenager” I believe children will be and act what and how you expect them to, and if you “label” them as rebellious and just “assume” it’s a phase they will go right along with you. We have many examples in the bible of “teenagers” who were leaders and go getters for God. Daniel, David, Joseph are some good examples other than Jesus. We can teach and expect our children to be able to teach at age 12 like Jesus or we can expect them to be like the world.
So I thank the Lord for noisy Children, slamming doors, dirty dishes, piles of laundry on the floor, a husband working hard all the time, never ending messing kitchen. And I hope that all these things continue for many years to come and that having more room will mean that I can have friends and family over to help make more noise, more dirty dishes, and more LOVE than I have known in the past.
Thought you guys might like seeing my sweet girl as I was washing dishes (our dishwasher is broken) and she wanted to be right where we were. And I decided what better place for her to be than right there with me and my “dirty dishes” 😀

a temperature controller configured to control a print heater heating temperature of the print heater such that a surface temperature of the medium at the printing position becomes within a range of from 30� C. to 70� C.
The present invention relates to an inkjet printer for printing pictorial diagrams and characters formed by arrangement of plural ink dots on a recorded medium (hereinafter, simply referred to as “medium”) using ink consisting primarily of an organic solvent (hereinafter, referred to as “solvent ink”), and more specifically, to an inkjet printer capable of realizing high image quality and fixing stability of pictorial diagrams and characters printed on a medium used for outdoor display advertisement and industry that mainly require water resistance and weather resistance.
As shown in FIG. 4, an inkjet printer has a structure for ejecting ink droplets from nozzles 12 aligned on the lower surface of a printing head 14 and landing the ink droplets on the surface of a medium 30 mounted on a platen 20 in a dot pattern. Further, the printer has a structure for printing pictorial diagrams and characters formed by arrangement of plural ink dots on the surface of the medium 30.
In this inkjet printer, there is a drawback that, when the ink droplets are landed on the surface of the medium 30 in a dot pattern, the ink droplets permeate the medium 30 broadly in the surrounding parts of the landed points, and the pictorial diagrams and characters formed by arrangement of plural ink dots printed on the surface of the medium 30 become smeared and blurred.
As an inkjet printer that can solve such drawback, a printer as disclosed in Publication of Japanese Patent Application No. Sho-62-144955 or Publication of German Patent No. DE10056703C2 has been proposed.
In this printer, as shown in FIG. 4, a preheater 40 for heating a medium 30 before printing in advance, and an after-heater 50 for heating the medium 30 immediately after printing are provided. Droplets are prevented from permeating broadly in the surrounding parts of landed points by having preheated the medium 30 with the preheater 40 for warming it before printing so that the droplets landed on the warmed surface of the medium 30 may be dried early. Further, the droplets are prevented from permeating broadly in the surrounding parts of landed points on the medium 30 by early drying the droplets adhering to the landed points on the medium 30 immediately after printing in partly undried conditions with the after-heater 50. Thereby, the pictorial diagrams and characters formed by arrangement of plural ink dots without smearing are printed sharply and clearly on the surface of the medium 30.
By the way, in the conventional inkjet printers as disclosed in these publications, heating means (not shown) for heating the medium 30 to be carried onto a central portion 22 of the platen below the traveling path of the printing head 14, on which the ink droplets ejected from the nozzles 12 of the printing head landed, is not provided.
The reason is as follows: in the case where such heating means is provided, by the heating means, it is possible that the medium 30 to be carried onto the central portion 22 of the platen below the traveling path of the printing head 14 is heated to dry the ink droplets landed on the surface of the medium 30 early. However, simultaneously, by the heating means, the printing head 14 traveling above the central portion 22 of the platen is also heated. Then, by the influence of heat from the heating means, the ink supplied to the printing head 14 is dried, the ink is solidified within the nozzles 12 having thin diameters of the printing head, and the nozzles 12 are clogged.
By the way, the conventional inkjet printer mainly uses general-purpose water-soluble ink or lactate ink as ink supplied to the printing head 14. However, such water-soluble ink and lactate ink do not have sufficient water resistance or weather resistance. On this account, a printer using such water-soluble ink and lactate ink is not suitable for printing pictorial diagrams and characters on a medium 30 for outdoor display advertisement or the like.
On the other hand, solvent ink consisting primarily of an organic solvent has sufficient water resistance and weather resistance. Accordingly, the solvent ink as above is suitable for printing pictorial diagrams and characters on a medium 30 for outdoor display advertisement or the like. However, the solvent ink has extremely high permeability to the medium 30, and, when ink droplets thereof are landed on the surface of the medium 30, the solvent ink of the ink droplets permeate the medium 30 early and broadly in the surrounding parts of the landed points and disappear. On this account, dots of the ink can not be clearly fixed at the landed points on the surface of the medium 30, and pictorial diagrams and characters formed by arrangement of plural ink dots with no smear can not be printed on the surface of the medium 30 clearly.
Note that, as the medium 30, a medium 30 coated with various kinds of coating agents on the surface thereof for preventing the ink droplets landed on the surface from permeating the medium 30 in the surrounding parts of landed points and fixing them at the landed points to form dots having small diameters has been developed. However, the medium 30 coated with such coating agents is expensive and it can not be used as a medium 30 that is generally and widely used.
Further, as a medium 30 for outdoor display advertisement or the like, both materials such as vinyl chloride films that are easily softened by being heated at low temperature and polyester films that are not easily softened even by being heated at high temperature are used.
On the other hand, as disclosed in the above publications, in the conventional inkjet printer, the temperature at which the medium 30 is heated by the preheater 40 and the after-heater 50 is set unadjastably at constant and relatively high temperature. Accordingly, if the medium 30 carried on the platen 20 of the inkjet printer is a vinyl chloride film or the like, the medium 30 will be overheated at high temperature and softened by the preheater 40 and the after-heater 50, and thereby, the medium 30 can not be carried on the platen 20 smoothly.
The invention is objected to provide an inkjet printer capable of solving the above described problems and printing high image quality pictorial diagrams and characters formed by arrangement of plural ink dots with water resistance and weather resistance but no smear on the surface of a general-purpose medium that is not coated with a coating agent or the like using solvent ink while providing fixing stability, wherein various kinds of media such that softened at low temperature can be heated at suitable temperature and constantly carried on the platen smoothly.
In order to achieve the above described object, an inkjet printer of the invention has printing means for traveling a printing head above a central part of a platen in horizontal directions and carrying means for carrying a medium that has been carried onto the platen forwardly on the platen.
Further, a preheater for preliminarily heating the medium to be forwardly carried toward below the traveling path of the printing head on a rear part of the platen and a print heater for heating the medium that has been carried onto the platen, on which the inkjet droplets ejected from the nozzles of the printing head are landed, are provided.
A solvent ink is used as ink supplied to the printing head for ejecting the ink droplets. Further, heat control means for controlling heating temperature of the preheater and the print heater for heating the medium so that the surface temperature of the medium to be carried onto the central part of the platen, on which the inkjet droplets ejected from the nozzles of the printing head are landed, may be 30 to 70� C. is provided.
In the inkjet printer of the invention, by being thus arranged, the medium to be forwardly carried toward below the traveling path of the printing head on the rear part of the platen can be preliminarily heated by the preheater. Further, subsequently, the medium that has been carried onto the platen, on which the inkjet droplets ejected from the nozzles of the printing head are landed, can be heated by the print heater. Accordingly, by those preheater and print heater, the medium can be heated so that the surface temperature of the medium to be carried onto the central part of the platen, on which the inkjet droplets ejected from the nozzles of the printing head are landed, may be 30 to 70� C.
At that time, after the medium immediately before carried onto the central part of the platen is heated preliminarily by the preheater, subsequently, in order to further fully heat the medium that has been carried onto the central part of the platen by the print heater, the medium that has been carried onto the platen, on which the inkjet droplets ejected from the nozzles of the printing head are landed, can be heated constantly and reliably without excess or deficiency so that the surface temperature thereof may be temperature of 30 to 70� C.
On the surface of the medium that has been heated in an appropriate manner so that the surface temperature thereof may be desired temperature of 30 to 70� C., ink droplets of the solvent ink ejected from the nozzles of the printing head to which the solvent ink is supplied can be landed. Furthermore, the ink droplets of the solvent ink landed on the surface of the medium can be dried promptly without permeating the medium broadly in the surrounding parts of the landed points while keeping the state in which they are fixed in dots having small diameters in the landed parts on the surface of the medium that has been heated in an appropriate manner at 30 to 70� C. Thus, pictorial diagrams and characters formed by arrangement of plural solvent ink dots and having water resistance and weather resistance with no smear can be printed on the surface of the medium clearly.
Here, the reason for that the heating temperature of the medium surface is set to 30 to 70� C. is, in the case where the heating temperature of the medium surface is set to less than 30� C., the heating temperature that the ink droplets of the solvent ink landed on the medium surface receives from the medium becomes insufficient. Further, the ink droplets are not promptly dried on the medium surface, but permeate the medium broadly in the surrounding parts of the landed points. Furthermore, smear occurs in the pictorial diagrams and characters printed on the medium surface. Alternatively, in the case where the heating temperature of the medium surface is set to more than 70� C., if the medium is a vinyl chloride film having low heat resistance that is softened at temperature of 45� C. or more or the like, the degree of the softening becomes higher and the medium can not be carried on the platen smoothly. If the medium is a polyester film having high heat resistance or the like, even when the medium is heated so that the surface temperature thereof may become nearly 60� C., the medium is never disturbed to be carried on the platen. In order to enable almost all media from the medium having low heat resistance to the medium having high heat resistance to be carried on the platen without any trouble, those media is desirably heated so that the surface temperature thereof may be 70� C. or less at maximum. Further, the reason for that the medium is thus heated so that the heating temperature of the surface thereof may be 30 to 70� C. is derived from experimental results obtained by practically printing pictorial diagrams and characters on the surfaces of various media using the solvent ink.
In the inkjet printer of the invention, the temperature control means may be arranged so as to be able to independently control the heating temperature of the preheater and print heater, respectively.
In this case, each of the heating temperature of the medium carried on the rear part of the platen and heated by the preheater and the heating temperature of the medium carried onto the central part of the platen and heated by the print heater may be adjusted in an appropriate manner according to the kind and thickness of the medium and the ambient temperature at which the printer is placed. Furthermore, the temperature of the surface part of the medium carried onto the central part of the platen, on which the inkjet droplets ejected from the nozzles of the printing head are landed, can be heated constantly at desired temperature of 30 to 70� C. in an appropriate manner.
In the inkjet printer of the invention, the temperature control means may be arranged so as to be able to integrally control the heating temperature of the preheater and print heater, respectively.
In this case, since means for controlling the heating temperature of the preheater and means for controlling the heating temperature of the print heater are not provided separately, the temperature control means can be simplified.
In the inkjet printer of the invention, it is preferred that a major component of 40% by weight or more of the solvent ink to be supplied to the printing head consists of one or more of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether and propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate.
The ethylene glycol monobutyl ether or propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate is advantageous in the point where they are less toxic to the human body and have weak odors. Further, they are also advantageous in the point where flash points thereof are high and risks in handling are smaller.
Accordingly, if one or more of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether and propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate is used as a major component of the solvent ink, the influence of toxicity on the human body by the solvent ink can be suppressed, the odor of the solvent ink can be suppressed, and the handling risk of the solvent ink can be suppressed.
Further, the reason for that the major component of 40% by weight or more of the solvent ink consists of one or more of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether and propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, is that it is confirmed that the pictorial diagrams and characters can be printed without smear but with high quality on the surface of the medium using the solvent ink while providing fixing stability from various experimental results if the major component of 40% by weight or more of the solvent ink consists as described above.
By the way, the major component of the solvent ink used for the printer of the invention is not limited to one or more of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether and propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, but other kinds of solvents having characters such as low toxicity to the human body, weak odors, high flash points, low handling risk, etc. can be used for the major component of the solvent ink used for the printer of the invention.
In the inkjet printer of the invention, the control of heating temperature of the preheater and the print heater for heating the medium by the heat control means may be arranged so as to be changed and adjusted by an additional operation panel to a printer or a host computer for printer control.
In this case, the heating temperature of the preheater and the print heater for heating the medium by the heat control means can be changed and adjusted by an additional operation panel to the printer or the host computer for printer control according to the kind and thickness of the medium carried on the platen or the ambient temperature at which the printer is placed. Accordingly, various kinds of media such that softened at low temperature can be constantly carried on the platen smoothly by the carrying means.
In the inkjet printer of the invention, refresh mode means for moving the printing head to a maintenance station and trial-discharging (flushing) ink droplets from the nozzles of the printing head so as to prevent the solvent ink from being solidified and causing clogging within the nozzles of the printing head may be provided.
In this case, in the process of printing pictorial diagrams and characters using the solvent ink, using the refresh mode means, the printing head can be moved to the maintenance station and ink droplets can be trial-discharged from the nozzles of the printing head. Accordingly, the solvent ink may be prevented from being solidified and causing clogging within the nozzles of the printing head. Further, missing dots (refers to the state in which no ink dot exists in positions where ink dots should exist) can be prevented from occurring in parts of pictorial diagrams and characters printed on the surface of the medium using the clogged printing head.
In addition, in the inkjet printer provided with the refresh mode means, the refresh mode means may have a structure for moving the moving the printing head to a maintenance station and trial-discharging ink droplets from the nozzles of the printing head at regular time intervals.
In this case, at regular time intervals in the process of printing pictorial diagrams and characters using the solvent ink, using the refresh mode means, the printing head can be moved to the maintenance station and ink droplets can be forced to be trial-discharged from the nozzles of the printing head. Accordingly, the solvent ink can be ensured to be prevented from being solidified within the nozzles of the printing head and causing clogging of the nozzle because of the failure to move the printing head to the maintenance station and trial-discharging ink droplets from the nozzles of the printing head in the process of printing pictorial diagrams and characters using the solvent ink.
In the inkjet printer of the invention, drying means for drying the ink droplets adhering to the landed points of the surface of the medium carried onto the front part of the platen from below the printing head may be provided.
In this case, the droplets adhering to the landed points of the surface of the medium carried onto the front part of the platen from below the traveling path of the printing head in partly undried conditions can be dried completely by the drying means. Further, the droplets adhering to the landed points of the surface of the medium in partly undried conditions, which is carried onto the front part of the platen and taken up in a roll form or the like by the take-up means at the front side of the platen can be prevented from adhering to other parts of the medium and contaminating the medium with the ink.
FIGS. 1 and 2 are a side sectional view and a front view showing the schematic structure of an inkjet printer of the invention,
FIG. 3 is a side sectional view showing the schematic structure of another inkjet printer of the invention, and
FIG. 4 is a side sectional view showing the schematic structure of a conventional inkjet printer of the invention.
Next, the invention will be described according to the drawings.
An inkjet printer shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 has printing means 10 for traveling a printing head 14 above a central part 22 of a platen in horizontal directions (frontward and rearward directions in FIG. 1) and carrying means 60 for carrying a medium 30 that has been carried onto the platen 20 forwardly on the platen 20. The printing head 14 has a structure for ejecting ink droplets by the piezo system or the like from nozzles 12 aligned on the lower surface thereof, and is supported travelably in the horizontal directions by a head drive belt 16. The carrying means 60 is constituted by a feed roller 62 and a press roller 64 provided so as to be opposed with the platen 20 therebetween above and below thereof. It has a structure in which the medium 30 is sandwiched between the feed roller 62 and the press roller 64 and the feed roller 62 is rotated forwardly (in a direction of an arrow in FIG. 1), and thereby, the medium 30 that has been carried onto the platen 20 can be carried forwardly on the platen 20.
Further, a preheater 40 for preliminarily heating the medium 30 to be forwardly carried toward below the traveling path of the printing head 14 on a rear part 24 of the platen and a print heater 70 for heating the medium 30 that has been carried onto the central part 22 of the platen 20 below the traveling path of the printing head 14, on which the inkjet droplets ejected from the nozzles 12 of the printing head are landed, are provided. The preheater 40 and the print heater 70 employ electric heaters using ceramics and nichrome wires. The preheater 40 has a structure disposed at the inner side of the rear part 24 of the platen for conducting the heat generated by the preheater 40 via the platen 20 to the medium 30 being carried on the rear part 24 of the platen so as to preliminarily heat the medium 30. The print heater 70 has a structure disposed at the inner side of the central part 22 of the platen for conducting the heat generated by the print heater 70 via the platen 20 to the medium 30 carried onto the central part 22 of the platen so as to heat the medium 30.
As ink to be supplied to the printing head 14 for ejecting ink droplets, solvent ink is used.
Further, heat control means 80 for controlling heating temperature of the preheater 40 and the print heater 70 for heating the medium 30 so that the surface temperature of the medium 30 to be carried onto the central part 22 of the platen 20, on which the inkjet droplets ejected from the nozzles 12 of the printing head are landed, may be 30 to 70� C. is provided. The heat control means 80 is constituted by a combination of a sensor for sensing heat generation temperature of the preheater 40 and the print heater 70 and an electronic circuit for controlling the heat generation temperature thereof or the like.
At the rear side of the platen 20, rewinding means 90 for rewindably supporting the medium 30 taken up in a roll form is provided.
At the front side of the platen 20, take-up means 100 for taking up the printed medium 30 to be fed out forwardly from a front part 26 of the platen in a roll form is provided.
The inkjet printer shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 is formed as described above, and, when the inkjet printer is used, the medium 30 taken up in a roll form and supported by the rewinding means 90 at the rear side of the platen 20 is rewound, and the medium 30 is carried forwardly on the rear part 24 of the platen toward below the traveling path of the printing head 14 by the carrying means 60. At that time, the medium 30 being carried toward below the traveling path of the printing head 14 on the rear part 24 of the platen is heated by the preheater 40 to make it in a preliminarily heated state. The preheater 40 effectively acts in the case where the medium 30 carried onto the central part 22 of the platen can not be heated to sufficient and suitable temperature only by the print heater 70 because the medium 30 is thick or the ambient temperature at which the printer is placed is low, or the like. Further, subsequently, the medium 30 that has been preheated by the preheater 40, which is carried onto the central portion 22 of the platen below the traveling path of the printing head 14 from above the rear part 24 of the platen and carried onto the central portion 22 of the platen on which the ink droplets ejected from the nozzles 12 of the printing head are landed, is fully heated again by the print heater 70.
Then, by those preheater 40 and print heater 70, the medium 30 can be heated constantly in an appropriate manner without excess or deficiency so that the surface temperature of the medium 30 carried onto the central portion 22 of the platen, on which the ink droplets ejected from the nozzles 12 of the printing head are landed, may be desired temperature of 30 to 70� C.
Subsequently, on the surface of the medium 30 that has been heated in an appropriate manner so that the surface temperature thereof may be desired temperature of 30 to 70� C., ink droplets of solvent ink ejected from the nozzles 12 of the printing head to which the solvent ink is supplied are landed.
Then, the ink droplets of the solvent ink landed on the surface of the medium 30 can be dried promptly without permeating the medium 30 broadly in the surrounding parts of the landed points while keeping the state in which they are fixed in dots having small diameters in the landed parts on the surface of the medium 30 that has been heated in an appropriate manner at 30 to 70� C. Thus, pictorial diagrams and characters formed by arrangement of plural solvent ink dots and having water resistance and weather resistance with no smear can be printed on the surface of the medium 30 clearly.
As describe above, the medium 30 on the surface of which the pictorial diagrams and characters formed by arrangement of plural solvent ink dots has been printed is carried out from the central part 22 of the platen on the front part 26 of the platen by the carrying means 60. Then, the medium 30 is taken up in a roll form by the take-up means 100 at the front side of the platen 20.
In this inkjet printer, the temperature means 80 may have a structure that can independently control the heating temperature of the preheater 40 and the print heater 70, respectively. Further, each of the heating temperature of the medium 30 carried on the rear part 24 of the platen and heated by the preheater 40 and the heating temperature of the medium 30 carried onto the central part 22 of the platen and heated by the print heater 70 may be adjusted in an appropriate manner according to the kind of the medium 30, the thickness thereof, the ambient temperature at which the printer is placed, or the like. Furthermore, the surface part of the medium 30 carried onto the central part 22 of the platen, on which the inkjet droplets ejected from the nozzles 12 of the printing head are landed, may be heated constantly at desired temperature of 30 to 70� C. in an appropriate manner.
By the way, the temperature control means 80 may have a structure that can control the heating temperature of the preheater 40 and the print heater 70 integrally. Further, the structure of the temperature control means 80 may be simplified.
In the inkjet printer, as the solvent ink supplied to the printing head 14, ink having a major component of 40% by weight or more consisting of one of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether and propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate or mixture of them may be used.
As described above, the influence of toxicity on the human body by the solvent ink may be suppressed, the odor of the solvent ink may be suppressed, and the handling risk of the solvent ink may be suppressed.
In addition, as described above, the major component of 40% by weight or more of the solvent ink may be one of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether and propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate or mixture of them and thereby, pictorial diagrams and characters may be printed without smear but with high quality on the surface of the medium using the solvent ink while providing fixing stability.
The composition of the solvent ink supplied to the printing head 14 other than the major component includes, for example, an organic pigment of 3% to 7% by weight and a resin of 15% by weight or less, and a solvent of one or more kinds of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate, propylene glycol, cyclohexanon, etc.
As the organic pigment, for example, Pigment Red 88, 181, 122, 202, 207, 209, Pigment Blue 15, 15:1, 15:2, 16, 68, Pigment Yellow 108, 196, 138, 128, 129, 180, 181, or Carbon Black is used. One or more of those organic pigments are added to the solvent ink according to the color to be printed using the solvent ink.
As the resin added to the solvent ink, silicon-contain resin, vinyl resin, ester resin, or fluorine-contain resin is used.
Next, using the solvent ink having such composition, by the inkjet printer provided with the above described preheater 40 and print heater 70, experimental examples in the case where pictorial diagrams and characters are printed on various kinds of media 30. In any experimental example, the inkjet printer is placed within a room in a normal temperature condition of the room temperature at about 15 to 20� C. In the following tables, the medium heating temperature of the preheater indicates heating temperature on the surface of the medium 30 carried on the rear part 24 of the platen by the preheater 40, the medium heating temperature of the print heater indicates heating temperature on the surface of the medium 30 carried onto the central part 22 of the platen, on which the inkjet droplets ejected from the printing head 14 are landed, by the print heater 70. Image quality (definition, with or without smear, etc.) in each of the following tables is on a zero-to-ten scale, and the highest point is ten. “OFF” in each of the following tables indicates the state in which the preheater 40 and the print heater 70 are not energized and the heating of the medium 30 by the preheater 40 or the print heater 70 is being stopped.
As the medium, MacMarc: 9829-00 (a product name of a medium manufacturer) is used.
of preheater
of print heater
As the medium, Transparent PVC Film P-245RC: LINTEC (a product name of a medium manufacturer) is used.
As the medium, PVC Viewcal 880C: LINTEC (a product name of a medium manufacturer) is used.
As the medium, Tarpaulin SJT-V200F: HIRAOKA (a product name of a medium manufacturer) is used.
As the medium, MPI2010WHITE/PERM/90: Avery (a product name of a medium manufacturer) is used.
As the medium, MPI3000/PERM/90: Avery (a product name of a medium manufacturer) is used.
As the medium, PVC Film P-243RW: LINTEC (a product name of a medium manufacturer) is used.
As the medium, TACKPAINT: SEKISUI CHEMICAL (a product name of a medium manufacturer) is used.
According to the respective tables shown in these experimental examples 1 to 8, it is known that the image quality of the pictorial diagrams and characters printed on the surface of the medium 30 is improved by preliminarily heating the medium 30 by the print heater 70 for printing the pictorial diagrams and characters with the preheater 40, and heating the medium 30 on which inkjet droplets ejected from the printing head 14 are landed.
In this inkjet printer, the control of heating temperature of the preheater 40 and the print heater 70 for heating the medium 30 by the heat control means 80 may be changed or adjusted by an additional operation panel (not shown) to a printer or a host computer 120 for printer control to which a printer is connected. Further, the heating temperature of the medium 30 by the preheater 40 and the print heater 70 controlled by the heat control means 80 may be changed or adjusted by an additional operation panel (not shown) to a printer or a host computer 120 for printer control to which a printer is connected according to the kind and thickness of the medium 30 carried on the platen 20, the ambient temperature at which the printer is placed, or the like. Furthermore, various kinds of media 30 such that softened at low temperature in various thicknesses may be constantly carried on the platen 20 smoothly by the carrying means 60.
In the inkjet printer, as shown in FIG. 2, refresh mode means 140 for moving the printing head 14 to a maintenance station 130 at the side part of the platen 20 and trial-discharging (flushing) ink droplets from the nozzles 12 of the printing head so as to prevent the solvent ink from being solidified and causing clogging within the nozzles 12 of the printing head may be provided. The refresh mode means 140 may be constituted by an electronic circuit of the host computer 120 for printer control etc. Further, in the process of printing pictorial diagrams and characters on the surface of the medium 30 using the solvent ink, using the refresh mode means 140, the printing head 14 may be moved to the maintenance station 130 and ink droplets may be trial-discharged from the nozzles 12 of the printing head into a receiving tray 110 provided in the maintenance station 130 or the like. Accordingly, the solvent ink may be prevented from being solidified within the nozzles 12 of the printing head and causing clogging of the nozzles 12. Further, missing dots may be prevented from occurring in parts of pictorial diagrams and characters on the surface of the medium 30 printed using the clogged printing head 14.
Furthermore, in that case, the refresh mode means 140 may adopt a structure for moving the printing head 14 to the maintenance station 130 and trial-discharging ink droplets from the nozzles 12 of the printing head at regular time intervals. Then, at regular time intervals in the process of printing pictorial diagrams and characters on the surface of the medium 30 using the solvent ink, using the refresh mode means 140, the printing head 14 may be moved to the maintenance station 130 and ink droplets may be forced to be trial-discharged from the nozzles 12 of the printing head. Accordingly, the solvent ink may be ensured to be prevented from being solidified within the nozzles 12 of the printing head and causing clogging of the nozzle 12 because of the failure to move the printing head 14 to the maintenance station 130 and trial-discharging ink droplets from the nozzles 12 of the printing head in the process of printing pictorial diagrams and characters on the surface of the medium 30 using the solvent ink.
In the inkjet printer, as shown in FIG. 3, drying means 150 for drying the ink droplets adhering to the landed points of the surface of the medium 30 carried out onto the front part 26 of the platen from below the traveling path of the printing head 14 may be provided. The drying means 150 may employ a blow drier, an infrared drier, and a heater drier using ceramics, nichrome wires, or the like singly or in combination. Further, the droplets adhering to the landed points of the surface of the medium 30 carried out onto the front part 26 of the platen from below the traveling path of the printing head 14 in partly undried conditions may be dried completely by the drying means 150. Further, the droplets adhering to the landed points of the surface of the medium 30 in partly undried conditions, which is taken up in a roll form or the like by the forward take-up means 100 from the front part 26 of the platen may be prevented from adhering to other parts of the medium 30 taken up in a roll form or the like and contaminating the medium 30 with the ink.
As described above, the inkjet printer of the invention is suitable for printing pictorial diagrams and characters on the surface of the medium for outdoor display advertisement or the like that requires water resistance and weather resistance with high image quality and fixing stability. Similarly, the inkjet printer is suitable for printing pictorial diagrams and characters on the surface of the medium for various industries that require water resistance.

Rise and Shine: Cherry Almond Lamingtons
Cherry Almond Lamingtons
For the May challenge Marcellina from Marcellina in Cucina dared us to make Lamingtons. An Australian delicacy that is as tasty as it is elegant.
These fancy little cakes are a bit of a project, but not too bad all around. Most Lamingtons are dainty little squares and looked too tedious for my mood on baking day, so I opted to use a biscuit cutter to make something like a Little Debbie snack cake. These were so sweet and fancy, I couldn't help but think they tasted like Christmas!
In the words of our host: "The classic Australian Lamington is a cube of vanilla sponge cake dipped in chocolate icing then coated with desiccated coconut...It is said that the cakes were named after Lord Lamington who was the Governor of Queensland, Australia from 1896 to 1901. Stories abound as to why the cakes came about. I like the one that tells of Lord Lamington’s maid-servant accidentally dropping a freshly baked sponge cake into some melted chocolate. Apparently Lord Lamington disliked wastage so he suggested coating the chocolate coated cake in desiccated coconut to avoid messy fingers."
This recipe was adapted from Sprinklebake's Cherry Chip Sponge Cake with Almond Whip. For the original Daring Baker's challenge recipe, you can find the challenge PDF here.
Makes 6 round cakes and a mess of scraps, or about 15 square cakes.
3 tablespoons heavy cream, room temp
10 ounce jar stemless maraschino cherries, finely chopped
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a jelly-roll sheet pan about 17" by 12" (a bit smaller of a pan is fine too) with shortening and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat eggs with a hand mixer on high for 5 minutes until light. Gradually add sugar until combined.
Add cream and almond extract to the whipped eggs and mix briefly.
Gradually add the flour, baking powder and salt to the liquid ingredients. Mix until combined. Mix in the pink gel food color a little at a time until the desired shade is achieved, about 1/8 teaspoon.
Sprinkle the 1 tablespoon flour over the chopped cherries and stir. Fold the flour-coated cherries into the sponge batter and pour your batter into the prepared pan (it will be a very thin layer).
Bake for about 13-15 minutes (meanwhile, make your almond buttercream and set aside). The cake is done when the center is set and the cake springs back when pressed in the center. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before turning it out onto a large wire rack to cool completely.
1/2 cup room temp unsalted butter
1 small teaspoon almond extract
Mix butter, salt, milk and almond extract on high for one minute. Scrape the bowl and add the powdered sugar. Mix on low until combined and crumbly. Mix on medium for one minute until smooth. Add corn syrup and mix a half minute. Then beat on high for about one minute until soft and fluffy.
Trim the edges of the cake with a serrated knife so that the rough edges are straight. Cut the cake into 2 rectangles of equal size.
Frost one of the sections of cake with almond buttercream. Set the other layer of cake on the frosted cake. Press the top using the flat bottom of a sheet pan (to level it) and chill for at least an hour or overnight.
White Chocolate Glaze and Coconut Coating
On a sheet pan in a layer no more than 1/4 inch thick, toast the coconut at 325F for about 10 minutes until lightly browned in some areas. Stir halfway through the cooking time to ensure the coconut at the corners does not burn.
In a double boiler, heat white chocolate, butter and milk and whisk until they melt and are smooth. Take it off the heat and whisk in the powder sugar. The glaze should be the consistency of honey. If it's too thin, chill it for about 20 minutes or so.
Cut your cakes into big squares, little squares, rectangles, circles...whatever you like.
Dip each cake into the icing. Drain or scrape off excess. While wet, roll the coated cake in coconut. Set on parchment paper to cool. Chill overnight if possible. These cakes are better after they have sat in the fridge for a day. They will keep for several days in the fridge.

Football, Sushi, and the Pursuit of Happiness: Good Point
you have me on the edge of my seat.... what were the headlines?I couldn't agree with you more and I think that is so unfair that Favre gets all the credit. It would really bug me too. It is very different in San Diego; everyone gets equal credit for whatever great thing they do but maybe LT a bit more. I have still been rooting for the Vikings along with the Chargers, hoping we both skip the wildcard, and meet in the superbowl.
Monday, December 7, 2009 at 10:44:00 AM CST
I'll take Vikings success any way we can get it :) Like you, I don't think its fair for one person to have all the credit OR all the blame
Monday, December 7, 2009 at 8:33:00 PM CST
I don't think you are going to get the same treatment of Favre when they lose a game instead of winning. I was done not liking him the second he became a Viking and he has really grown on me where I truly like him. I do think it was a lot of Favre's fault for Sunday's game. You could tell he just wasn't on but he didn't have any time to throw either so that lies with the O-Line. It's a team sport regardless but you will always have the favorites that outshine the rest...in the media anyway.

Good hotel. Bad for Disneyland. - Review of Holiday Inn Express Garden Grove
Good hotel. Bad for Disneyland.
IHGCare, Guest Relations Manager at Holiday Inn Express Garden Grove, responded to this reviewResponded 24 March 2014
Hard bed, Fast data!
I have just returned to the UK after spending 14 nights at the above hotel. First of all I never worry about carpets, slow elevator or having to wait to be booked in especially if reception is busy. As a member of the nursing profession I am more concerned about the standard of cleanliness especially in the room and restaurant . For me as a non driver in the United States the hotel was a great location especially as the ART bus service (route 16) stops outside the front entrance . My room was clean and comfortable and this standard was maintained throughout my stay. The reception staff were excellent and very helpful which makes your stay more enjoyable. If you get a good hotel and staff to match then you are on a winner. To Gus and all the day staff and Tristan and the night staff thank you for your help /advice and overall kindness. Of course I must not forget the 2 lady's in the restaurant and the staff who were responsible for the high standard they maintained. I did notice that this was very popular with families with young children. At night their were no kids running wild around the corridors. I will certainly return to this hotel again.
Room Tip: For those who drive the parking is free and let the ART Bus service do the driving for you and avoid...

The phrase still will not leave me alone: "But Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart." It goes on and on, over and over in my head until it becomes a command, "ponder the words in my heart." And somehow in the night's dark furnace I find the angel's words, which became the shepherd's words, which became the words that Mary pondered in her heart, and they get lodged in my heart, too.

War News Updates: Saudi Arabia Cuts Off Oil Shipments To Egypt
Saudi Arabia Cuts Off Oil Shipments To Egypt
Reuters: Saudi oil shipments to Egypt halted indefinitely, Egyptian officials say
Saudi Arabia has been a major donor to Egypt since President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi seized power in mid-2013 but Riyadh has become frustrated with Sisi's lack of economic reforms and his reluctance to be drawn into the conflict in Yemen.
During a visit by Saudi King Salman in April, Saudi Arabia agreed to provide Egypt with 700,000 tonnes of refined oil products per month for five years but the cargoes stopped arriving in early October as festering political tensions burst into the open.
Update #1: Saudi Aramco Halts Egypt’s Oil Supplies Until Further Notice -- Bloomberg
Update #2: Saudi Aramco halts oil shipments to Egypt indefinitely -- Al Bawaba
Update #3: Aramco Stops Oil Product Shipments To Egypt -- Oil Price
WNU Editor: Why the cut-off .... probably a difference in policy towards Syria .... Allies Saudi Arabia, Egypt in rare public spat over Syria (AP). In response to this cut-off, Egypt is now looking for other oil sources .... Egypt's oil minister makes rare trip to Iran for oil talks after Saudi suspension (Reuters).

Basaang Gilagid: Trisha's take: Laws of Nature
Trisha's take: Laws of Nature
Bert's take: Laws of Nature
First off, I don't have a boyfriend anymore. And I'm losing a friend at the same time. But that's not what I want to write about in response to my dad's most recent entry.
What I do want to write about is how I spent my day after work was over that day, about a week ago. I can't remember why, but they decided to have a party at work with catered frou-frou sandwiches, beer, and wine. Yes, beer and wine. At 1pm. Was this a good idea? Two large paper cups of white zinfandel said it was, and then I actually went back to work for a little bit.
I left the office around 3 pm ('cause they let us leave early) and decided that today was going to be my day to celebrate the solstice. I got $60 dollars out of the bank ('cause we also got paid today) and took a bus up 8th Avenue along Central Park. Now, I have to tell you that even though I've lived in one of the five boroughs for three years, I've never really hung out in Central Park. I walked through it once, but along the bottom edge, and I didn't get to really explore it before I rushed off to meet... the new ex downtown. Today I was going to explore. But I was going to drink first. And I was going to do it in the most gaudy way possible.
One of my favorite books as a kid was Remember Me to Harold Square by Paula Danziger. The protagonist is a girl who loves to eat at the Tavern on the Green because it's so shiny and sparkly and glitzy inside. The cynical New Yorkers that I patrol as a moderator for a high-traffic list every day say that it's schmaltzy, overpriced, and a tourist trap. Nonetheless, drinking at the Tavern on the Green's outdoor patio was just what I needed, along with a cigarette. I didn't buy them at the gift shop because they were charging $9.75 for a pack. Instead I walked over to Columbus Ave. where they were only charging $8 a pack. I walked back, and right through to the bar, where you actually couldn't smoke at the bar, but at the tables waaaaay in a corner where the waiters wouldn't even come over to serve you. Whatever...
The merlot cost $10 plus tax and tip, and it was pretty good. What wasn't good was having to watch out for tree debris as the wind ruffled through the branches. I like a strong bodied merlot, but I don't like the tree debris additives. I sat and chain-smoked, and fielded phone calls and text messages from concerned friends, letting out a torrent of curse words within hearing distance of some ladies who were having an early dinner with a kid in tow. Boy did I feel embarrassed. When I was done with my second glass, I even went over to their table to apologize and the ladies were nice enough to say that they didn't even notice me cursing. I also applauded when this bride came in to celebrate the wedding she just had. She looked lovely.
From the Tavern on the Green, I walked past the Sheep Meadow to an area where there was a wide street and guys skateboarding. That would have been fun to watch for a while, but on the other side of the street were some guys playing street hockey. That threw me back into the wayback machine and back to when my very first boyfriend and I were dating and he got me into roller hockey a little. I asked the guys if I could sit down and watch for a while, and it felt really good to be able to follow the puck and cheer the guys on. When I'd had my fill, I walked up from there towards the Bandshell, and watched this inspirational speaker guy film a video for the teaching guide he's selling with his book that's coming out in the fall. From there, I walked towards the Bethesda Fountain and Terrace and had my second Thoth sighting, and tossed a dollar to this two banjo/one soprano saxophone band that was noodling away in a corner. The Lake beckoned, and I followed the path around to the Loeb Boathouse where alack! they were no longer renting bikes for the day. Must go back to the Park to rent a bike for a while. I lost myself in the Ramble for a bit (and firmed up my plans to hang with my friend Hilary later on), eventually coming out on the other side of the Lake near the Bow Bridge. I crossed it, taking the time to appreciate the views on either side and wondering exactly how many movies had been filmed with that bridge in them. Too many, I think.
From there, it was back to Cherry Hill and back towards the Sheep Meadow area, even though I didn't know at the time I was heading back that way. My hips had started to hurt after all the Ramble-ing, and I just wanted to get back on the bus to go to Penn Station. I did know, however, that I didn't want to leave by the same route, so instead of going towards the Tavern again, I walked a bit north of there, through a grassy lawn area where a lady's German Shepherd didn't want to be petted by me. No big deal, I thought, and had to walk a bit south again towards a break in the fence. I'm glad I went south again, because I ended up stumbling upon an open-air performance of All's Well That Ends Well, at a part where a kilted ruffian was trying to get a woman to promise to either stay away from the king or be his mistress. I couldn't tell because he was projecting so much better than she was. And then some Lord came around the corner, in a Napoleonic era type uniform. From a distance, he looked like Patrick Stewart, and kinda declaimed like him as well. I swooned, but not for too long because I had to meet with Hilary in Flushing, and it was past 7:30 pm. So I eventually made my way out of the park and wound up around 79th St., I think.
That ramble through the Park was very, very fun. I'm so very glad I did it. It reminded me of how beautiful life is, how mysterious, how serene, how painful. It reminded me of why I love New York City, and why I'm not going to let anyone push me around anymore.

jenagirlbeads: A Good Read
In my spare time, I've started reading the "Twilight" series by Stephenie Meyer. Don't laugh, I do occasionally have spare time. (Not often, I'll grant you, but it does happen.) I've finished reading the first two books: Twilight and New Moon. Now I'm just waiting for an e-mail from the library that Eclipse is available to pick up. I'm 4th on the waiting list, so hopefully I'll get it before the weekend. (By the way, I was 189th in line when I first put it on my wish list - yikes!)
Anyway, I'm really enjoying the series and despite the fact that it is marketed towards the young adult/teen market, all the other adults I've spoken to have thought it a good read also. Meyer is no Jane Austen (my hands down favorite author), but she is an excellent author with a good feel for pacing, dialog, and of course - vampires.
Ya know, it's funny to see all the vampire stuff coming back into mainstream popularity again. Well...not that it ever left, really. But one of my new favorite shows is HBO's True Blood, created by hometown boy Alan Ball, and based on The Southern Vampire series by Charlaine Harris. I've seen 2 episodes so far and I have to say that I'm hooked! Having read all the available books in the series, I have to say that the show does a fantastic job in bringing the written word to life and then building on it.
Okay, I've yammered on long enough and now I've got to go get busy making beads. Oh yeah - speaking of beads, I've got 2 things to mention before I sign off here:
1. I'm still running yesterday's bead giveaway contest. No one has listed all 7 colors in the same comment yet, although all the colors have already been mentioned in the comments I've approved so far. So c'mon - keep guessing!! Okay... apparently I can't count. There is ONE color I bought that hasn't been mentioned yet. Sorry y'all!!
2. I sent out an e-mail to my mailing list yesterday about the sale I'm running between now and next Tuesday. It's for 20% off of bead orders, excluding silver. Just thought I'd mention it again!!
Hope everyone has a marvelous day!!

Jena, I didn't receive an email about your sale either.
okay, here I guess again... black, orange, brown, yellow, white, red, lime green
you've got 6 right!
instead of white try clear
orange, black, white, lime green, red, brown, purple
how about purple. I know it isn't pink...hmmm...
orange, black, white, lime green, brown, purple, red
Well, aren't I the smart one? LOL
I gave the same seven colors on my last two guesses. I will try to redeem myself with:
orange, black, lime green, purple, clear, white, red
Eventually someone has to guess the correct combination.
I feel like I should be hearing Jeopardy music playing! LOL
I am off to teach today. Here's another guess:
orange, black, white, lime green, brown, red, aqua.
Dang it, Jena. This is HARD!
