    摘要: A method of printing a multi-color image on a particular surface, using a digital image file having a discrete number of pixels that collectively represent the multi-color image, comprises: determining a relatively large area of the multi-color image that is represented by less than the total number of pixels, but which pixels each have a common printing color component; forming an outline of the determined relatively large image area on the particular surface the multi-colored image is to be printed; providing a colored receiver layer within the formed outline that is the same color as the common color component, but which color has a selected low color value; applying a non-colored receiver to an area on the particular surface that is outside the formed outline on the particular surface, to provide a non-colored receiver layer on the particular surface in addition to the colored receiver layer on the particular surface; modifying the digital image file by subtracting the selected low color value from the pixels representing the relatively large area, to provide a printing file for printing the multicolor image; and printing the multi-color image on the colored and non-colored receiver layers, using the printing file, to make a print of the multicolor image on the particular surface.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for printing an image on a large surface area or walkway provides for imagewise marking of the surface with a color marking solution, to form a visible image on the surface during an image recording mode of a marking engine. A vehicle supports the marking engine and includes a drive that engages the surface at plural locations and moves the marking engine relative to the surface. The marking engine is located outboard of an area defined by lines connecting the plural locations so that during operation of the marking engine during the image recording mode the drive does not engage areas of the surface that have been previously imagewise marked.

    摘要: In a method of making a single image of a scene which is the combined images of different portions of the scene, including providing first and second image capturing structures with the second image capturing structure including a moveable lens; and moving the second lens so that it captures at least one different portion of the scene but which overlaps with a first portion of the scene captured by the first image capture structure, the second image capture structure including an image sensor. The method further determines when the second lens moves across the scene to a desired position and stopping the second lens at the desired position for causing the first and second capture structure to capture overlapping images of different portions of the scene.
