    摘要: The present invention provides a method for processing color image data for printing on an inkjet printer to reduce intercolor bleeding in an image recorded on a receiving medium. The method receives a target pixel comprising multiple separation pixels, wherein each separation is associated with a separate color plane and has at least three states, a first state corresponding to depositing no ink drops, a second state corresponding to depositing one ink drop, and a third state corresponding to depositing more than one ink drop. The method further includes determining if the target pixel is within a black border region near a black/color interface or within a color border region near a black/color interface. If the target pixel is within a black border region, the method replaces the target pixel with a black border output pixel derived from a black pixel modification pattern identifying an arrangement of separation pixels to deposit approximately one drop for each pixel location in the black pixel modification pattern. Similarly, if the target pixel is within a color border region near a black/color interface, the method replaces the target pixel with a color border pixel derived from a color pixel modification pattern identifying an arrangement of separation pixels for each non-black color plane that deposits approximately one drop for each pixel location.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a method for differentially processing image types within a document image to enhance the quality of on an image on a receiving medium. In one aspect of the invention, the method begins by receiving document image data including one or more image regions. The method determines for each image region whether the region includes any image data corresponding to a first image type. The method then prints regions including image data corresponding to the first image type according to a first pixel management process and prints regions not including image data corresponding to the first image type according to a second pixel management process.

    摘要: Embodiments herein include a method of combining a graphic image with other data to be printed, such as text or other graphics. One embodiment receives image data and document data and applies a mask to the image data to produce an image snippet. The mask adjusts a transparency of the image data in the image snippet by eliminating pixels from the image data. The method combines the document data and the image snippet into a page description language (PDL) file (PostScript file) using a print driver. One feature of the embodiments herein is that the image snippet is combined with the document data only by the print driver, and the image does not need to be combined downstream using an interpreter. After creating the PDL file, then the method processes the page description language file through an interpreter to produce raster data and prints the raster data on a media sheet using a printer.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for masking low drop volume print defects in inkjet printers. In one exemplary embodiment, the invention obtains a print mask, determines a likelihood that an individual ink ejection nozzle will produce a low drop volume, determining a correction factor, and compensates for the low drop volume. The low drop volume may be compensated by increasing the drop intensity, modifying the print mask, or combinations of both.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a method for processing color image data to reduce intercolor bleeding in an image printed on a receiving medium. The method begins with the receipt of a target pixel that includes a plurality of separation pixels corresponding to individual color planes, the color planes including a black plane and at least one non-black plane. The steps of the method further include determining if the target pixel is within an black border region near a black/color interface, and if so, modifying the target pixel using a substitution operation according to a black pixel modification pattern, the black pixel modification pattern identifying separation pixels in the black plane to replace with separation pixels from a non-black plane; and determining if the target pixel is within a color border region near a black/color interface, and if so, modifying the target pixel using a thinning operation according to a color pixel modification pattern, the color pixel modification pattern identifying a pattern of separation pixels in a non-black plane to remove from the composite image.
