Abstract:
A multipass printing apparatus is characterized by a computer-implemented controller that controls printing operation so that, on any given pass, the number of selected print locations onto which printing ink is deposited by each of N nozzles varies from nozzle to nozzle. The variation is governed in accordance with a weighted smoothing spline function, particularly a polynomial B-spline function of the order “j”, where j is a value equal to one less than the number of passes.

Abstract:
A computer readable medium contains a program for causing a printer to execute a multipass printing method characterized in that, on any given pass, the number of selected print locations onto which printing ink is deposited by each of N nozzles varies from nozzle to nozzle. The variation is governed in accordance with a weighted smoothing spline function, particularly a polynomial B-spline function of the order “j”, where j is a value equal to one less than the number of passes.

Abstract:
A method for modeling color halftones that reduces both the number of parameters and the number of measurements needed to characterize an inkjet color printer. The method is based on the eigenanalysis of sample reflectance data and a probabilistic analysis that considers light scattering on the paper substrate as a breakage process governed by a log-normal distribution. The method estimates the reflectance of a print color by characterizing colors as a multiplicative composition of primary color reflectances rather than as an additive mixture of primary and secondary color reflectances as suggested by the theory of Neugebaeur.
