In the following, illustrating the print corresponding with rotation angle in data processing equipment 80 and tablet printing equipment 1 referring to Fig. 6
Brush the process of processing.Fig. 6 is the flow chart for showing the process of the data processing in data processing equipment 80.It is printed in aftermentioned tablet
Before the printing treatment of brush device 1, the data processing of data processing equipment 80 shown in fig. 6 is carried out.
As shown in fig. 6, making in the Data processing of data processing equipment 80 firstly, being inputted to Vector Rotation processing unit 81
For the input data D1 (step S101) of vector data.
Next, Vector Rotation processing unit 81 makes the defined multiple rotation angles of input data D1 Vector Rotation, generate
Multiple Vector Rotation data D2 (step S102).
Then, image conversion process 82 carries out each of multiple Vector Rotation data D2 Vector Rotation data D2

Herein, the rotation of vector data and the sequence of rasterizing are illustrated referring to the example of Fig. 7~Fig. 9.Fig. 7 is shown nothing
The vector data of rotation has carried out the figure of the example of rasterizing.Fig. 8 is to show to rotate after vector data progress rasterizing, then
The figure of the example of rasterizing is carried out again.Fig. 9 is to show the example that vector data is carried out to progress rasterizing after Vector Rotation
Figure.It should be noted that grid turns to binary data in Fig. 7~Fig. 9.
Tablet printing equipment 1 as ink-jet printer is arranged as in length and breadth from the print head 431,531 of ink jet type to each
Clathrate ink spray region spray ink droplet.Region is sprayed to each ink as a result, and sprays a drop ink droplet.Therefore, in piece
In printing treatment in agent printing equipment 1, needs to prepare to spray region to each ink and define the presence or absence of ink droplet and ink droplet
The printed data of size.Therefore, it is necessary to the vector data of input is converted to the pixel in each clathrate for being arranged as transverse and longitudinal
The raster data of middle expression.
As shown in fig. 7, in the case where rotating angle 0 ° (without spin), due to not needing to rotate image data,
The raster data after only having carried out rasterizing to vector data can be used as print data.
It in the case where rotating angle is other than 0 °, needs to rotate image data at any one time, and prepares advising
The raster data of rasterizing on direction is determined as final print data.
As shown in figure 8, generating grid spin data in the first grid data rotation for obtaining Grid of vector data
In the case where, each pixel configuration of grid spin data is relative to the inclined clathrate in direction in length and breadth.It is thus impossible to use grid
Lattice spin data is as print data.Therefore, it in order to which grid spin data to be converted to the pixel data in direction in length and breadth, needs
Rasterizing is carried out again.It is 0 ° (without spin) that the shaking of the second raster data obtained by rasterizing again, which is compared with rotation angle,
In the case of raster data it is big.Therefore, if being printed using the second raster data, it is likely that reduce press quality.

Region sprays the figure of the example of the ink droplet of " middle size " out.Figure 11, which is shown, sprays region ejection " small size " to all ink
The figure of the example of ink droplet.Figure 12 is to show ink ejection region being converted to ink ejection region and non-ink ejection region friendship
Behind the region of configuration, the figure of the example of the ink droplet of region ejection " middle size " is sprayed to the ink after conversion.Figure 10~Figure 12
In, by the quadrilateral area that straight line surrounds be respectively with a corresponding region of drop ink droplet.
In the case where tablet 9 is that the surfaces such as sugar coated tablet have glossiness tablet, the ink droplet of ejection is easy the table in tablet 9
It is moved on face.Therefore, be easy to happen the phenomenon that ink droplet flowing with adjacent ink droplet to connect, i.e., it is so-called mottled.Tablet 9
The conveying speed the big more is easy to happen mottled.It shows to produce in Figure 10 and connects flowing between mottled, adjacent ink droplet 91
Ink flow portion 92.
As shown in figure 11, in order to reduce mottled generation, the ink for reducing and spraying region ejection to each ink can be used
The method of the size of drop 91.In addition, as shown in figure 12, in the present invention, being converted to oil using by continuous ink ejection region
Ink sprays the region that region and non-ejection region are alternately arranged, so that ink sprays the discontinuous method in region.Hereinafter, such as Figure 10
And shown in Figure 11, by ink ejection the continuous pattern in region be known as full version pattern (Solid Printing Pattern,
Filled inPattern).In addition, as shown in figure 12, ink being sprayed the pattern that region is alternately arranged with non-ejection region and is claimed
For checkerboard pattern (Checkboard Pattern).
Figure 13 be show using present embodiment tablet printing equipment 1 carry out experiment in, every kind of droplet size and
The figure of the relationship of the conveying speed of pattern and mottled generation state.In Figure 13, as shown in Figure 10, " middle size/full version " is shown
The case where full version pattern printed by the ink droplet of " middle size ".As shown in figure 11, " small size/full version " is shown by " small ruler
It is very little " ink droplet the case where having printed full version pattern.As shown in figure 12, " middle size/chessboard " is shown by the ink droplet of " middle size "
The case where having printed checkerboard pattern.In addition, "○" expression does not generate mottled state, and " △ " indicates mottled generation in Figure 13
Amount is specified amount state below, and "×" indicates that mottled yield is the state of specified amount or more, and "-" expression does not carry out reality
It tests.
As shown in figure 13, the conveying compared with " middle size/full version ", when generating mottled in the case where " small size/full version "
Speed is bigger.That is, " small size/full version " be more difficult to generate than " middle size/full version " it is mottled.In addition, with " small size/full version " phase
Than conveying speed when generating mottled in the case where " middle size/chessboard " is bigger.That is, " middle size/chessboard " is than " small size/full
Version " is more difficult to generate mottled.Ink known to as a result, sprays the pattern that region is alternately arranged with non-ejection region can be highly effective
Ground inhibits mottled generation.
In this way, spraying the quantity in region by reducing ink, it is suppressed that mottled generation.Therefore, the number of present embodiment
It is fewer than each raster data D3 that multiple raster data D3 are converted into ink ejection pixel number in step S104 according to processing unit 80
Sparse data D4.Then, use sparse data D4 as printed data, thus, it is possible to inhibit tablet printing equipment 1 into
It is generated when row printing treatment mottled.
In addition, by spraying the pattern that region and non-ejection region are alternately arranged using ink as described above, further
Inhibit mottled generation.Therefore, the data processing equipment 80 of present embodiment is in step S104 by multiple raster data D3
It is converted to ink and sprays multiple sparse data D4 that region and non-ejection region are alternately arranged.By using such sparse data
D4 is generated mottled as printed data when can further suppress the progress printing treatment of tablet printing equipment 1.In addition, by making
It uses such sparse data D4 as printed data, the ink being ejected on tablet 9 can be made to dry rapidly.In addition, by making
It uses such sparse data D4 as printed data, can reduce the usage amount of ink.

The pattern of disk shape.Using this pattern, it is about raster data that the ink in sparse data D4, which sprays pixel number,
Ink in D3 sprays the 50% of pixel number.
Figure 16 is an example of 62.5% sparse pattern.Figure 17 is the sparse number using shown in Figure 16 62.5% sparse pattern
According to an example of D4.The pattern of the example of Figure 16 and Figure 17 is to be arranged in 5 ink of crosswise to spray region and a non-spray
The pattern that region is alternately arranged along longitudinal and transverse direction out.Ink using this pattern, in sparse data D4
Spraying pixel number is about that the ink in raster data D3 sprays the 62.5% of pixel number.If dilute using the 62.5% of the example of Figure 16
Pattern is dredged, then can carry out the printing denseer than 50% sparse pattern of the example of Figure 14.
Figure 18 is an example of 37.5% sparse pattern.Figure 19 is the sparse number using shown in Figure 18 37.5% sparse pattern
According to an example of D4.The pattern of the example of Figure 18 and Figure 19 is each ink to be sprayed to region and arrangement crosswise five non-
Spray the pattern that region is alternately arranged along longitudinal and transverse direction.Using such pattern, in sparse data D4
It is about that the ink in raster data D3 sprays the 37.5% of pixel number that ink, which sprays pixel number,.If 35% of the example using Figure 18
Sparse pattern is then more able to suppress than 50% sparse pattern of the example of Figure 14 mottled.
Figure 20 is an example of the 50% sparse pattern different from Figure 14.In the sparse pattern of the 50% of Figure 14, by an ink
Region is sprayed to be alternately arranged with a non-ejection region.On the other hand, the 50% of Figure 19 sparse pattern is will to configure to be square
Four ink of shape spray chessboard pattern made of region is alternately arranged with four non-ejection regions for being configured to square shape
Pattern.Sparse data D4 can be made of such pattern.
In addition, sparse data D4 can be made of the pattern other than the pattern illustrated in Figure 14~Figure 19.For example,
In pattern for sparse data D4, there may be multiple shapes that the ink ejection group that region is constituted is sprayed by adjacent ink
Shape, there may also be the shapes of multiple non-ejection groups being made of adjacent non-ejection region.
