    摘要: A method enables an operator to detect misalignment of printheads that eject clear ink in an inkjet printer. The method prints a first test pattern with a first color of ink and then prints a second test pattern of clear ink on top of the first test pattern. The ink of the first and the second test patterns is then spread to enable the clear ink to be dispersed in interstitial spaces in the ink of the first color. An operator is then able to detect the spatial relationship of predetermined marks in the second test pattern to predetermined marks in the first test pattern. The predetermined marks of the first and the second test patterns are arranged to enable an operator to detect a misalignment distance and the inkjet printer uses the misalignment distance entered by the operator to adjust the alignment of the printheads that eject clear ink.

    摘要: A method of operating a printer enables a controller in the printer to operate electrical motors for aligning printheads in the printer with greater accuracy. The method includes generating a test pattern on media with a plurality of printheads, identifying a first position for each printhead in the plurality of printheads from test pattern image data, operating an electrical motor operatively connected to one of the printheads to move the printhead in a first direction in the cross-process direction by a predetermined distance, generating a second test pattern on the media, identifying a second position for each printhead, comparing the second position of the printhead with the first position of the printhead to measure a distance moved by the printhead, identifying a first calibration parameter with reference to the predetermined distance and measured distance, and operating the electrical motor with reference to the first calibration parameter.

    摘要: An apparatus prints on a continuous web moving in a process direction. A fiducial marker prints on a portion of the web a repeating pattern of fiducial marks at a predetermined spacing along the process direction. At least two printing stations are operatively disposed downstream of the fiducial marker, each printing station including a printhead for placing marking material suitable for a partial image on the web. A photosensor reads a fiducial mark on the web moving relative to the printing station.

    摘要: A method and system compensates for streak defects in an image formed using a raster output scanning device. A reflectance profile is generated from an image generated by the raster output scanning device. Thereafter, a difference profile is determined. The difference profile is determined based upon the generated reflectance profile and a uniform profile. A compensation profile is generated based on the determined difference profile. The compensation profile represents a change in an intensity profile for the raster output scanning device.

    摘要: Defects in an image may give rise to visible streaks, or one-dimensional defects in an image that run parallel to the process direction. One known method for compensating for streaks introduces a separate tone reproduction curve for each pixel column in the process direction. A compensation pattern according to this invention ha alignment marks before and after a halftone compensation region. The alignment marks provide alignment between the printer pixel grid and a scanning pixel grid. The line width of each alignment mark and the gray level in each pixel column of each gray level portion is measured and analyzed to produce a local tone reproduction curve for each pixel column and associated line width. The line widths of the alignment marks can be remeasured to adjust the local tone reproduction curves to compensate for the streak defect when printing.
