摘要:
A method of controlling an inkjet printer when printing on a substrate that is to be shrink wrapped on to an object (10), by loading an image file on to a raster image processor; undertaking raster image processing on the loaded image file to generate raster image data for controlling discharge of ink droplets on to the substrate; receiving an indication of a shape (19) of the object (10); and manipulating the generated raster image data in response to the indication of the shape (19) of the object (10) to alter the distribution and/or size of droplets applied to the substrate to take into account anticipated changes (14) in a dimension (11, 12, 13) of the substrate due to shrinkage into contact with the object (10). Also a printer for carrying out the method.
摘要:
A method is provided for converting image data from a source format into a target format in a system including a converter for converting a sequence of data from the source format into an intermediate format, and an image processing system for converting the data from the intermediate format into the target format. The inverter is capable of dividing the data in the intermediate format into separate files. The method includes the steps of processing a first file in the image processing system; compiling a second file in the converter; and when the first file has been processed completely, instructing the converter to close the second file and send it to the image processing system and to open a new file for the next data to be converted.

A printing apparatus is provided with a plurality of analyzing units, and a control unit. Each of the plurality of analyzing units analyzes each of different pages of print data, and notifies an error in a case that an analysis error occurs. The control unit receives the error notification from the analyzing unit, at which the analysis error occurs, among the plurality of analyzing units. And, the control unit notifies a cancel to another analyzing unit at which the analysis error does not occur. The control unit is further configured to notify, on a condition that a printing of all pages before a page at which the analysis error occurs is completed, the cancel to the another analyzing unit.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium recording a program for causing an information processing apparatus to function as: a control circuit that determines whether a rendering command of a document created using presentation software is a first-page rendering command, when determined as the first-page rendering command, caches it, generates first-page printable data based on the first-page rendering command and caches it, and when determined as a rendering command of one of second and subsequent pages, determines whether at least parts thereof and the first-page rendering command are in common, and generates, when determined that at least parts thereof and the first-page rendering command are in common, printable data of the one of second and subsequent pages using the first-page printable data; and a communication interface that transmits the printable data to an image forming apparatus.

A system and method render see-saw scalable gloss effect image patterns on a recording medium by using to two colors to provide one region with a relatively smooth surface, while a second region has a relatively rougher surface. A third region is added composed of a color different than the first two, wherein the third region has a relatively smooth surface where it intersects with the first region and a relatively rougher surface where it intersects with the second region. As the rendered recording medium is tilted at different angles, the image patterns thereon toggle to create a see-saw effect.

An information processing apparatus for processing print data includes an extracting unit that extracts characters to be printed and coordinate information of the characters from the print data; an organizing unit that reorganizes the characters extracted by the extracting unit using the coordinate information of the characters; a sorting unit that sorts the characters extracted by the extracting unit into corresponding horizontal or vertical lines using the coordinate information of the characters; and a concatenating unit that concatenates the characters reorganized by the organizing unit and sorted by the sorting unit.
摘要:
A print control apparatus includes a reconfigurable circuit that generates print data by reconfiguring a circuit configuration thereof respectively in response to a multiple image processes and performing the image processes on image data successively, and a reduction image generator that performs control to reconfigure the circuit configuration of the reconfigurable circuit in response to the image process, and generates a reduction image from the image data by performing part of the image processes on the image data using software, in response to command information including a generation method of the reduction image, in parallel with the image process performed by the reconfigurable circuit.

A printing system includes a first printing unit including a first image processing unit that generates image data from print data, a second printing unit including a second image processing unit that generates image data from print data, and a generation unit that generates skip data for setting a skip area where the first printing unit does not perform printing on a continuous sheet, on the basis of the image data to be printed by the second printing unit, in which the first printing unit prints an image based on the image data in an area other than the skip area of the continuous sheet on the basis of the generated skip data, and the second printing unit prints an image based on the image data in the skip area of the continuous sheet or an area corresponding to the skip area on the basis of the generated skip data.
摘要:
Method for generation of a proof job from a print job comprising one or more documents and zero or more job parameters, wherein the documents comprise one or more graphical elements, and a printer having setting and a printer state, the method comprising: determining for a graphical element that printing the graphical element will likely involve a print quality issue while taking into account the printer setting and/or the printer state; selecting graphical elements in the vicinity of the determined graphical element; composing a proof job comprising proofing graphical elements, and proof job parameters taken from the print job parameters or the printer settings, wherein the proofing graphical elements comprise at least part of the selected graphical elements, and/or a derived graphical element having an attribute that is equal to an attribute of the determined graphical element, wherein the attribute contributes to the occurrence of the print quality issue.
