Patent number: 10870282Abstract: A method of detecting printing fluid mixing is provided. A test pattern for at least one printing fluid is printed with a printing device. The test pattern for the at least one printing fluid is scanned with a scanning device. Colorimetric data of the test pattern for the at least one printing fluid are obtained. Metric values are determined from the colorimetric data. A statistical analysis is performed on the determined metric values. Based on the statistical analysis, it is determined whether printing fluid mixing has occurred and where printing fluid mixing has occurred.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2016Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Jordi Sender Beleta, Peter Norovic, Jan Morovic, Hector Gomez Minano

Patent number: 10603924Abstract: Certain examples described herein relate to evaluating print quality. In these examples, a check image is printed at a first print quality in accordance with test image data for at least one test image, and a reference image is printed at a second print quality with reference image data corresponding to the one or more test images modified to simulate one or more print defects. A comparison of the printed reference image and the printed check image allows evaluation of a quality level for the printed check image.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2015Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.Inventors: Jordi Sender Beleta, Maria Isabel Borrell Bayona

Patent number: 10583650Abstract: In some examples, a printer determines a difference between an enlarged calibration pattern portion printed on a substrate by a first portion of a nozzle array of the printer and an enlarged reference pattern portion printed on the substrate by a second portion of the nozzle array, the enlarged calibration pattern portion produced by printing respective smaller calibration pattern portions at corresponding different relative positions between the nozzle array and the substrate, and the enlarged reference pattern portion produced by printing respective smaller reference pattern portions at corresponding different relative positions between the nozzle array and the substrate. The printer adjusts at least one drive signal to at least one of the first portion of the nozzle array and the second portion of the nozzle array to compensate for the determined difference.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2016Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Jordi Sender Beleta, Montserrat Solano Pallarol, Alejandra Terron Arregui

Patent number: 10350880Abstract: A method and system of controlling at least one printbar in a printing system are described. The printing system has one or more of printbars distributed along a media transport. A first image including a reference pattern is generated on a print medium with a first printbar. A pattern is then detected on the print medium. The reference pattern and the detected pattern are used to determine a position of the first image relative to a second printbar. This position is used to configure nozzle data for a second image to be generated on the print medium by the second printbar.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2018Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Marti Rius Rossell, M.

Patent number: 9908323Abstract: A method and system of controlling at least one printbar in a printing system are described. The printing system has one or more of printbars (160, 190) distributed along a media transport. A first image including a reference pattern (240A, 240B) is generated on a print medium (150) with a first printbar (160). A detector (180) then detects a pattern on the print medium. The reference pattern and the detected pattern are used to determine a position of the first image relative to a second printbar (190). This position is used to configure nozzle data for a second image to be generated on the print medium by the second printbar.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2012Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Marti Rius Rossell, Jordi Sender Beleta, M.

Publication number: 20170111551Abstract: Methods and apparatus for developing a color mapping for mapping colors from a source gamut to an output gamut are described. In an example, defects in a printed output image are used to identify a region of an initial output gamut associated with a defect. A modified output gamut may be developed, the modified output gamut excluding the identified region. A color mapping for use in mapping colors from the source gamut to the modified output color gamut for producing an output image may also be developed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2014Publication date: April 20, 2017Applicant: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.Inventors: Peter Morovic, Jordi Sender Beleta, Xavier Bruch, Jan Morovic
