摘要:
A method of calibrating a printer is disclosed. The printer prints a plurality of patches using know color values. At least two patches of each color are printed. The patches are measured to determine a measured color value for each patch. The measured color values are checked for validity. The printer is calibrated using only the valid measured color values.

A method for implementing a secure printing campaign to thwart counterfeiting is provided. The method includes the steps of selecting a first secure print technology and a second secure print technology that is distinct from the first secure print technology, selecting a first secure print variable for the first secure print technology and a second secure print variable for the second secure print technology, and establishing a first plurality of discrete values for the first secure print variable and a second plurality of discrete values for the second secure print variable.

A system for generating digital swatch books, comprising a simulation component for generating, based on a set of standard reference colors and based on at least one reproduction system profile representing a reproduction system's color reproduction characteristics, digital swatch book information representing a simulated set of reference colors associated with the original set of reference colors, as reproduced by the reproduction system; the system further comprising a portable document format generation component for generating, from said digital swatch book information, a multi-layer portable document format file comprising a first layer encoding first swatch book output information for viewing the digital swatch book on a display device, and a second layer encoding second swatch book output information for printing the digital swatch book on a printing device.
摘要:
A system is disclosed comprising a color image producing device for providing a test pattern on a medium, said test pattern comprising a plurality of color patches, said test pattern having a principal orientation axis under a non-perpendicular angle α with the propagation direction of the medium through said color image producing device; and a color measurement device coupled to receive the medium from the color image producing device and arranged to propagate the medium in said propagation direction, the color measurement device being further arranged to measure the colors of the respective patches of the medium during said propagation, the color measurement device comprising a color sensor mounted on the carriage oriented substantially perpendicularly to the propagation direction. The present application further discloses a color image producing device and a color measurement device that can be used in such a system, and a method for measuring colors with such a system.

摘要:
A method of reproducing an image, comprising: creating a, or using an already existing, bitmap-input image; finding zones in the input image containing text; determining colors of pixels, characters, or larger text items in the text zones; reproducing the image, wherein pixels, characters or larger text items with a color near to a primary color are reproduced in the primary color.
摘要:
Techniques related to printing are described herein. According to an example, color patches are to be printed on a substrate. The substrate can be positioned on a substrate support for operation of a color sensor in a color measurement zone. Dimension and location in the substrate of the color patches are selected such that, for each color patch, at least a portion of the color patch can be positioned on a support projection in the color measurement zone. In some examples, color analysis techniques are described.
