International Classification:

B41J002/01

US Classification:

347 99, 347 88

Abstract:

A method of creating high-speed multi-color process images. The method includes providing at least two high operating frequency printheads which are capable of processing phase-change inks, providing at least two phase-change inks, providing a substrate, activating the printheads such that at least two inks pass therethrough, and passing the substrate under the printheads at a rate of at least about 1000 feet per minute so as at least one process image is formed on the substrate. The present invention also includes a process for achieving high-speed crockfast process printing on a material with phase-change ink. The process includes providing at least an array of printheads capable of processing phase-change inks at frequencies of at least about 20 kHz, providing a material, providing a material transport system capable of transporting the material under the printheads, providing a plurality of phase-change inks, transporting material under the array printheads at a speed of at least 1000 ft/min, and ejecting ink from at least two of the printheads onto the material so as to form an image.

Abstract:

A protective garment configured to facilitate easy donning of the garment is described. The garment includes one or more foreshortening structures within the garment that allows for the arms and legs to be shorted into a donning configuration. This allows the garment to be handled and donned by the wearer, without the wearer touching an exterior surface of the garment or allowing any portion of the garment to touch another surface. A method of preparing a protective garment for donning and a method of donning such a garment is also disclosed.
