In some examples, a printing system including a rotating platen having an axis of rotation and configured to support a substrate, and a printhead configured to eject drops in a direction parallel with the axis of rotation onto the substrate supported by the rotating platen.

Printing on a rotating surface

Printing on delicate surfaces, such as flowable food products, is described.

Printing on edible substrates

In general, a fluid delivery system includes a plurality of fluid delivery printheads, a first reservoir for holding an ink, the first reservoir coupled to a first one of the plurality of fluid delivery printheads, and a second reservoir for holding a flavored liquid, the second reservoir coupled to a second one of the plurality of fluid delivery printheads.

Printing images and flavors on substrates

A method and system for digitally reproducing an image on a printing plate that includes enhancing gray levels so that plate may be imaged at lower resolutions and therefore higher speed. An image is scanned and a two dimensional array of optical density values. A comparison is made with a screen cell array having a repetitive pattern of a plurality of different screen cells. Each screen cells includes screen comparison values which when arranged in a sequence of increasing values are interleaved with values in a similarly arranged sequence of values from one of the different screen cells of the screen cell array. Pixel comparisons generate a binary value which is used to selectively operate a laser beam to expose microdots on a printing plate.
