    Abstract: A method for determining a color profile from received raster data and printing the raster data is provided. Color profiles provide a mapping from a color space of the raster data to a color space of the printer, which typically uses CMYK toner or ink. A text color profile may be employed to print crisper text, or a photo color profile may be employed to produce better images. The raster data includes a plurality of raster scan lines containing digital pixel values. The method includes determining a number of sequentially repeated digital pixel values and a number of sequentially non-repeated digital pixel values for the plurality of raster scan lines. A color profile is selected based on a determination between the repeated and non-repeated digital pixel values. An example image forming apparatus that may carry out the method is also provided.

    Abstract: A color printing system manages ICC profiles by controlling ink use without performing the ICC profile creation operations. To obtain an ink limit for an ICC profile, a table associated with the ICC profile is parsed to determine the ink limit. The ink limit is decreased or increased. For an ink limit decrease, a color over the decreased ink limit is adjusted to meet the new ink limit. The ICC profile is updated accordingly. For an ink limit increase, the combination of primary colors are boosted by a percentage amount. Checks are made with regard to the volume-based ink limit and an quality check operation to accepted the boosted amount. The ICC profile is updated accordingly.

    Abstract: An example system includes a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored therein instructions that are executable to cause the system to perform various functions. The functions include obtaining a source profile associated with a print job and a destination profile associated with the print job. The functions also include, based on the source profile and the destination profile, generating a color conversion object that maps input colors of a source color space to output colors of a destination color space. In addition, the functions include training a neural network using the color conversion object so as to obtain weights associated with two or more hidden layers of nodes of the neural network. Further, the functions include receiving color data corresponding to pixels of the print job, and converting the color data from the source color space to the destination color space using the neural network.

    Abstract: An example embodiment may involve obtaining a digital image containing a pixel block. An AM halftone may be configured to be applied to the digital image by default. The example embodiment may also involve deriving, from the pixel block, a bitmap defining foreground and non-foreground pixels of the pixel block. The example embodiment may also involve sequentially scanning horizontal lines of the bitmap to identify clusters of foreground pixels. Each pixel in a particular cluster of the clusters of foreground pixels may be either (i) the only pixel in the particular cluster, or (ii) vertically or horizontally adjacent to another pixel in the particular cluster. The example embodiment may also involve, possibly based on the clusters of foreground pixels identified in the bitmap, applying an FM halftone to the digital image, and causing the digital image to be printed with the applied FM halftone.

    Abstract: An example embodiment may involve obtaining an a×b pixel macro-cell from an input image. The a×b pixel macro-cell may contain 4 non-overlapping m×n pixel cells. The a×b pixels in the a×b pixel macro-cell may have respective color values and may be associated with respective object type tags. The example embodiment may also include selecting a compression technique to either (i) compress the a×b pixel macro-cell as a whole, or (ii) compress the a×b pixel macro-cell by compressing each of the 4 non-overlapping m×n pixel cells separately. The example embodiment may further include compressing the a×b pixel macro-cell according to the selected compression technique, and writing a representation of the compressed a×b pixel macro-cell to a computer-readable output medium.
