Abstract:
A method is provided for conditioning a recording medium storage enclosure in a printing system, the recording medium storage enclosure comprising an exit opening being arranged at a first end of the recording medium storage enclosure, which exit opening is configured for releasing a portion of a recording medium towards a printing station of the printing system, the method comprising the steps of providing an air flow inside the recording medium storage enclosure in a main air flow direction adjacent to the exit opening, wherein the main air flow direction is aligned along a direction of the exit opening, which is substantially perpendicular to a feeding direction of a recording medium through the exit opening, circulating a first portion of the air flow within the recording medium storage enclosure between the first end and the second end and directing a second portion of the air flow towards the exit opening in order to provide an overpressure inside the recording medium storage enclosure adjacent to the exit opening with respect to an ambient pressure outside the recording medium storage enclosure.
Abstract:
A method is provided for processing a rasterized relief image, comprising customary color channels for indicating a color of each pixel and a height channel for indicating a height of each pixel into several pass images that are printed using a printer with several colorants including a white colorant. For each pixel a relief part, a white part and a skin part are discriminated in order to combine the demands for height and color variation across the surface of the image. The skin part comprises pixels for which a colorant composition based on the color channels of the rasterized relief image is established. In order to print a color in the skin part that is independent of a height of the pixel and independent of the colorant composition of a neighboring pixels, pass images are composed that include only neighboring pass pixels that do not disturb the color forming of a pass pixel contributing to a skin part.
