Abstract
This paper proposes an improved model of height profile for drop-on-demand printing of ultraviolet curable ink. Unlike previous model, the proposed model propagates volume and covered area based on height difference between adjacent drops. Height profile is then calculated from the propagated volume and area. Measurements of two-drop and three-drop patterns are used to experimentally compute model parameters. The parameters are used to predict and validate height profiles of four and more drops in a straight line. Using the same root-mean-square (RMS) error as benchmark, this model achieves 5.9% RMS height profile error on four-drop lines. This represents more than 60% reduction from graph-based model and an improvement from our previous effort.
