  • Patent number: 7434906
    Abstract: A method and a device are used to generate print data of any resolutions based on ink volume from the original print data. The print data in the form of halftoned levels are first transferred to the ink image according to the relation between halftone level and drop number obtained by the experiment of ink control. Then, the ink image of original resolution is converted to the ink image of desired resolution by the concept of conservation ink volume per pixel where the amount of ink drops in the unit area stays coherent in the conversion. Finally, each drop number of the converted ink image is transferred to the corresponding halftone level to generate the printing data that can be accepted by the printing device.

  • Publication number: 20060119633
    Abstract: A method of calibrating inkjet print head is disclosed to print a specially designed test pattern, including a plurality of first stripe patterns and several second patterns continuously printed and overlapped with each other. The overlapping between the first stripe patterns and the second patterns is checked. One overlapping state is extracted to find an optimal alignment condition, thereby calibrating the inkjet print head and enhancing the printing quality.
