摘要： The present invention is a method and apparatus for processing a color document for moire-free printing, the color document including a plurality of color separations each defined with a set of image signals representing optical density with m possible density levels, while a printer is capable of rendering density with n density levels. The invention employs a spatial resolution scaler to produce m-bit signals at a spatial resolution that is a function of the halftone screen angle, base dot pitch, and desired halftone cell size. Subsequently, the m-bit signals at the desired spatial resolution (frequency and angle) are halftoned to produce n-bit signals that are printed with a raster output scanning-type printer suitable for printing at selectively variable spots per inch in both the fast and slow scan directions.

摘要： A xerographic system and method use a tri-level development process in which at least one xerographic imaging unit includes a photoreceptor and a pair of developer units. A first developer unit includes a full strength toner of a given color and a second developer unit includes a reduced strength toner of the same or substantially the same color. By use of the tri-level process, excellent color-to-color registration can be achieved for each processed color separation. Moreover, by use of two strengths of the same colorant, a tighter control of a tone reproduction curve can be achieved. Additional xerographic imaging units can include a developer unit that provides spot color, custom color or specialty color capabilities. Additional benefits and gamut expansion can be achieved through use of a tandem architecture. A preferred implementation uses a four drum, eight color tandem architecture with full strength and reduced strength toners formulations of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black (CYMK) colorant.

摘要： A multi-purpose print platform includes a color print engine with color and black toners and a low-cost-per-page print engine having at least two image development systems in which each of the development systems is associated with a different type of black toner and/or highlight color toners. Jobs that include color and black and/or highlight color pages can be processed by using both print engines. The low-cost-per-page print engine typically is low cost in that it facilitates processing pages at a low per page cost relative to color and/or high cost black print engines while providing the productivity and reliability of a typical black only print engine.

摘要： A printing system capable of binding a modified image data to an individual print engine in a multiple print engine system. The system includes an image processor such as a digital front end, a set of transformations, and a configuration of printers.

摘要： An image processing method and system compensates for artifacts in scaling operations of mixed raster content data representations. In such data representations, a document is segmented into data portions generally segregated by data types. At least one of the segments is dilated so that upon scaling reconstruction, there are additional pixels available for interpolation operations, thereby avoiding artifacts caused by discontinuity.

摘要： A registration system for image data in a binary image path includes a registration parameter source, such as a preprogrammed memory or a dynamic device, which provides registration parameters to correct for registration errors from a predetermined reference likely or predicted to occur during image output. A warping processor is in data communication with the registration parameter source which applies a selected registration parameter to an element of the image data resulting in a warped data element, minimizing the effects of the registration error. The system optionally includes an image reducing device which receives groups of high addressable binary image data and converts them to a single pixel. The pixel is then provided to the warping processor. The warping processor applies the selected registration parameter, either static or dynamically selected, from the registration parameter source to the averaged single pixel producing a warped data element. The warped data element is then optionally provided to a tone reproduction curve calibrator which adjusts for darkness errors induced by the warping or displacement of the warped data element. The calibrated pixel is then re-rendered by a processor which processes the calibrated pixel back into a plurality of print-ready data elements. The processor estimates quantization errors induced by the warping of the pixel positioning and disperses that error to following pixels. The print-ready data elements are provided to an image output terminal which produces a physical representation of the original binary image.
