Matching The Printing Characteristics Between Two Engines Of A Duplex Print System

View page
US Patent:
6337958, Jan 8, 2002
Filed:
Sep 5, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/655114
Inventors:
Mikel John Stanich - Longmont CO
William Ashmead Courtenay Bateman, III - Longmont CO
John Charles Wilson - Longmont CO
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G03G 1500
US Classification:
399 49, 399306
Abstract:
A duplex printing system including two print engines arranged in tandem for printing a first and second density patch on a print medium, at least one density sensing device adapted for measuring the density of the first and second density patches printed on the print medium by the two print engines and a control for controlling the adjustment of the print engines to enable the density and dot gain of the print output of the first and the second print engines to match. The printing system of the present invention is further characterized by the measurement of the density of the density patch printed by each print engine after the print medium has advanced through the printing system. Thus, the print medium and first and second density patches printed by each print engine is subjected to the same conditions and influences as a print job processed by the printing system. Accordingly, density measurements and adjustments made to the print engines to vary the density of the print engine outputs will be realized in a print job subsequently produced by the printing system and the resultant print job will include printed images printed by two print engines that have matching print characteristics, namely matching density and dot gain.

Method And Apparatus For Rendering Grayscales At A Facsimile Presentation Device Using A Calibrated Transform

View page
US Patent:
6538773, Mar 25, 2003
Filed:
Mar 26, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/282024
Inventors:
Craig Duray Brossman - Boulder CO
Arianne Therese Hinds - Boulder CO
Nenad Rijavec - Longmont CO
Mikel J. Stanich - Longmont CO
Mark Andrew Stephens - Westminster CO
Raymond Glenn Wardell - Boulder CO
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NJ
International Classification:
H04N 146
US Classification:
358 316, 358 113
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture, for transmitting data to facsimile presentation device is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of receiving a presentation job comprising input data associable with at least one input grayscale value, retrieving one of a plurality of stored transforms, each transform for modifying grayscale commands to control a grayscale rendering characteristic of a presentation device associated with the transform, applying the transform to the input grayscale value to produce calibrated grayscale values, and transmitting data representing the calibrated grayscale value to the facsimile presentation device. In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of transmitting the rasterized input data to the presentation device comprises the steps of reducing the rasterized input data to an intermediate format being one of a number of widely supported formats, generating device-specific data and device-specific control information for the presentation device based on the intermediate format and control information associated with the input data, and transmitting the device-specific data and the device-specific control information to the presentation device. This invention can be practiced in several embodiments, and permits the user to select the transform according to the presentation device and/or a selected presentation quality.

Masks With Modulated Clustering And Aperiodicity And Rescaling Of Masks

View page
US Patent:
6597813, Jul 22, 2003
Filed:
Mar 11, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/265861
Inventors:
Mikel J. Stanich - Longmont CO
Gerhard R. Thompson - Wappingers Falls NY
Charles P. Tresser - Mamaroneck NY
Chai W. Wu - Poughquag NY
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06K 936
US Classification:
382237, 382205, 358 316, 358 319
Abstract:
A technique combines most of the advantages of both blue noise and clustering in generating a partially clustered aperiodic mask and using it in a dither array algorithm for halftoning, such that the amount of clustering can be modulated. A method to create an enlarged partially clustered aperiodic dither mask, appearing as a modulated version of a periodic enlargement of original mask, is used when the original mask generates patterns that are not visually pleasing or the original mask doesnt generate enough distinct grey levels. The method of halftoning of grey scale images utilizes a pixel-by-pixel comparison of the image against a partially clustered aperiodic mask in which the clustered aperiodic mask is comprised of a partly random and partly deterministic single valued function which is designed to produce visually pleasing dot configurations when thresholded at any level of grey. A method for changing a number of distinct grey levels a mask can produce to be used in halftoning of grey scale images produces advantages for some printing devices.

Appl. No.:
09/100487
Inventors:
Ho Chong Lee - Endicott NY
Mikel J. Stanich - Longmont CO
Assignee:
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
G06K 1500
US Classification:
358 19, 358 306, 358504
Abstract:
A system for configuring a first printer according to the grayscale printing characteristics of a second printer is described. Grayscale printing characteristics of a first and a second printer are characterized, and a transform between the grayscale printing characteristics of the first printer and the grayscale printing characteristics of the second printer is generated. This transform is used to modify the first printer grayscale commands so as to emulate the grayscale printing characteristics of the second printer.
