摘要: Certain examples relate to configuring a print processing system to produce rendered color outputs based on desired properties of said outputs using resources available to the print processing system. In these examples, print job data is received comprising image data and print property data. Color mapping data is configured to produce print mapping data based on at least the print property data. Print instructions for an image rendering device are generated based on the print mapping data. The print properties may be selectable by a user. Color mapping data may be characterized by color properties.

摘要: A method is described in which printing instructions representing printing content to be printed by a printing system are received, the printing system comprising a dispenser to dispense printing material. Whether to perform a first mapping process or a second mapping process is then selected. The first mapping process comprises mapping an indicator to a first dispensing process to dispense printing material from the dispenser to produce content according to a content characteristic of the printing content at a given location, and the second mapping process comprises mapping the indicator to a second dispensing process to dispense printing material to produce content according to the content characteristic at the given location. The first dispensing process is different than the second dispensing process. The indicator represents the content characteristic. The method also comprises performing the selected mapping process.

摘要: A method is disclosed in which a lookup table (LUT) that maps chromatic and achromatic device color space vectors into Neugebauer primary area coverages (NPacs) is obtained. According to the method, a LUT that maps chromatic device color space vectors into NPacs is combined with a LUT that maps achromatic device color space vectors into NPacs.

摘要: Certain examples described herein relate to generating a Neugebauer Primary area coverage (NPac) vector. In certain cases, a first plurality of Neugebauer Primaries (NPs) defined by a first NPac vector is determined, the first plurality of NPs defining a set of characteristics of a printing process. A second NPac vector, defining a second plurality of NPs, is generated based on the set of characteristics and a criterion relating to the printing process.

摘要: An apparatus and method for use in generating calibration parameters for a printing apparatus comprising a plurality of print modules are disclosed. The method comprises printing a first plurality of test patches for each print module of the plurality of print modules, analysing the first plurality of test patches to identify at least two clusters of print modules, wherein each cluster comprises a sub-group of print modules having substantially similar performance, printing a second plurality of test patches comprising an extended calibration test patch set for each cluster of print modules, the second plurality of test patches being distributed across the print modules of the cluster, and analysing extended calibration test patch set for each cluster to determine a calibration parameter for the printing apparatus.

摘要: A look-up table for use in a printing system is created. The printing system prints an input image in a print color space. The look-up table is created by accessing a predetermined look-up table representing a mapping of color values of an input color space to ink-vectors of a print color space; applying a p-by-q halftone threshold matrix to each ink-vector of the predetermined look-up table to generate a p-by-q halftone cell for each ink-vector; and creating a further look-up table which maps, at least a sample of, the color values of input color space to the at least one halftone cell.

摘要: In some examples, a method for compressing a spectral reflectance dataset may be performed through compression circuitry. The method may include computing a principal component analysis basis for the spectral reflectance dataset; projecting the spectral reflectance dataset onto the principal component analysis basis to obtain a weight matrix; quantizing the weight matrix; performing a Huffman encoding process on the quantized weight matrix to generate a Huffman table and Huffman codes for the quantized weight matrix; and providing compressed spectral reflectance data as the principal component analysis basis, the Huffman table, and the Huffman codes.

摘要: Certain examples described herein relate to structure forming for the production of a three-dimensional object. In these examples, different structure forming components or functions are applied to volumes of a three-dimensional object. These structure forming components or functions are arranged to differentially generate a halftone output. The halftone output is generated by processing a material volume coverage representation for the three-dimensional object. The halftone output is used to provide control data for instructing production of a three-dimensional object.

摘要: Methods and apparatus relating to substructures for three-dimensional objects are described. In an example, a processing apparatus includes: an interface to receive data representing a three-dimensional model object, the data including object model data and object property data; a mapping module to map received data to a print material coverage representation; a halftone module to provide halftone threshold data; and a substructure module to define a substructure for a three-dimensional object to be generated, the substructure specifying in at least a region thereof a consistent lattice structure and a variable material distribution. The apparatus is to apply a substructure and a halftoning to the print material coverage representation to generate control data for the production of a three-dimensional object having the substructure.

摘要: Certain examples described herein relate to a three-dimensional threshold matrix. The three-dimensional threshold matrix may be used for three-dimensional halftoning. In one example, values for a predefined two-dimensional threshold matrix are shifted with respect to a third dimension to provide the three-dimensional threshold matrix. In one example, the three-dimensional threshold matrix may then be processed in association with a digital representation of a three-dimensional object to output discrete material arrangement instructions for at least one production material. The instructions may be used to control an additive manufacturing system to produce the three-dimensional object.
