    摘要: One invention aspect forms a mask and matrix of corresponding backups for values in the mask, checks when a mask value is not working, and replaces only that value with only a matching matrix entry. A second matrix of further backups is best formed. Another aspect forms a mask as a matrix of stacks of matching entries for mask positions; selects an entry for each position from the matching matrix stack; and prints using the selected entry at each position. Another aspect forms a mask as a matrix of stacks of matching entries for mask positions, and rotates each stack to select an entry for each position. Another aspect forms a mask and a matrix of stacks of backups; finds nonworking mask values and replaces such values with backups from a matching stack. Another aspect forms a seminal mask, tiles it to make a larger one with related properties, and injects noise to disrupt tiling-caused regularity and form a less-regular mask.

    摘要: A method for applying a bonding agent for supplemental ink includes, with a control system of a printing apparatus, determining regions of an image corresponding to regions where a supplemental ink is to be printed, and with the control system, adding an amount of pixels of a standard color channel to portions of a bitmap representing the image, the portions corresponding to the regions where the supplemental ink is to be printed. The amount of pixels is sufficient to trigger application of a bonding agent at the regions.

    摘要: When condition of a printing element (e.g. inkjet nozzle) changes, essentially full mask rows invoking the element are redone from scratch, best so as to fully satisfy pixel-grid neighbor conditions. This is faster than redoing a whole mask as in prior popup or precook/reheat methods, and yields better printouts than prior row-by-row mask revision (e.g. directly replacing a weak nozzle by a good one across whole rows). This method is best independent of prior mask versions, and uses no prebuilt matrix of backup/alternate entries. The number of rows redone is typically 7% to 14% below a nominal/baseline value.

    摘要: One aspect of the method/apparatus finds, for each input-image pixel, an “offset weighted average” of neighboring-pixel interactions—and uses the averages to make a final image. Another aspect assumes a value for each pixel, to use in a final rendered image form—and, at each in a series of approximations, determines whether to change the value, and finds a probabilistic weight to help determine. Yet another finds, for each pixel, a numerical representation of neighboring-pixel interactions—and establishes a distance cutoff for use in defining “neighbor”, and uses the representation to decide whether to change color values. Still another finds a desired or ideal number of print passes, and adapts the number of passes actually used to the found number. Another combines halftoning and printmasking into one procedure and prints images prepared thereby. Another integrates halftoning and image filtering, to obtain esthetic visual effects, into one procedure—and prints images thus prepared.
