摘要:
A method for registration of print separations in a printer comprising: (a) printing a first pattern, for which at least one image characteristic varies relatively weakly with misregistration, using at least one of first and second separations; (b) printing a second pattern, for which said at least one image characteristic varies relatively strongly with misregistration, using said at least one first and second separations; (c) determining said at least one image characteristic for the first and second patterns; and (d) correcting the mutual registration of said at least one first and second separations responsive to a difference in the determined at least one image characteristic for the first and second patterns.

Imaging methods, imaging device calibration methods, imaging devices, and hard imaging device sensor assemblies are described. According to one aspect, an imaging method includes forming a hard color image upon media using image data, the hard color image corresponding to the color image, and after the forming, sensing an optical characteristic of the hard color images at a plurality of different spatial locations of individual ones of the hard color images, and providing information regarding the optical characteristic at the different spatial locations of the hard color image after the sensing.

An imaging device and calibration method therefore forms a plurality of hard images upon media using user-defined image data. An optical characteristic of at least a portion of the hard images is sensed at a plurality of different spatial locations of the hard images. The sensed optical characteristic is compared with the user-defined image data, and the imaging device is calibrated using the sensed optical characteristic.
