摘要:
An image forming apparatus includes a normal consumption state, a low consumption state, and a fluid applicator unit. The fluid applicator unit may selectively provide a first set of drops of fluid to perform a printing routine in a print mode. The fluid applicator unit may also selectively provide a second set of drops of fluid to perform a service routine in a maintenance mode. An amount of the first set of drops of fluid to perform the printing routine and an amount of the second set of drops of fluid to perform the service routine may be less in the low consumption state than in the normal consumption state.

Methods and cassettes for discarding ink are disclosed. An example cassette includes a housing having a form factor to be received in a printer; a container to receive the discarded ink; and a memory to receive usage data from the printer, the usage data being indicative of an amount of the discarded ink received by the container.

Print media products comprise a top layer of a printing material comprising a plurality of holes distributed on the surface area thereof, and a bottom layer of a printing material comprising a plurality of holes distributed on the surface area thereof, the top layer being overlayed on and removably attached to the bottom layer such that an ink-receiving side of the top layer is exposed and an ink-receiving side of the bottom layer is in contact with the top layer, and such that the holes of the top layer are at least in part overlapped with print material of the bottom layer.
摘要:
Systems and methods of fill area reduction during printing are disclosed. An example of a method includes identifying a fill area. The method also includes generating a depletion matrix corresponding to the fill area. The depletion matrix identifies which of the plurality of print heads to deactivate. The method also includes selectively adjusting output from the plurality of print heads based on the depletion matrix in order to reduce fill area during printing.

摘要:
A printer and a method of processing an image (1) to be printed with a printer which has a printing unit arranged to produce a printout from image-representing print data of the image, and a processing unit for processing image-representing input data of the image so as to generate the image-representing print data. The processing unit is arranged for separating the image into a line detail sub-image (20) containing edge and line details, and an area detail sub-image (25) containing area details, performing a first printing mode processing pipeline on the line detail sub-image and performing a second, different printing mode processing pipeline on the area detail sub-image, and generating multi-layer print mask data, wherein at least one print mask data layer is usable to print the line detail sub-image in at least one line detail print pass, and the remaining, i.e. at least one of the print mask data layers being used to print the area detail sub-image in at least one area detail print pass to produce an image (50) which has optimized image quality.

One example includes a printer (110) having a calculator (120) to determine plot density of a printer content page (130). A controller (140) is provided to set a print parameter based on the determined plot density for the printer content page (130) to mitigate dry time for a printed output page (150).
摘要:
A method for pen drop weight calibration includes altering an image prior to printing based on the difference in printing performance of a first pen and a second pen to produce altered image data, the first pen and the second pen being disposed in the same printer. The altered image data is then printed with the printer.
