Patent number: 7239402Abstract: To translate a physical color to a color space of a printer device, a color patch is scanned using a printer's internal scanner. The printer then automatically prints that scanned color, together with a range of variations of that color, on the print media on which printing is to occur. A user may quickly and easily select a color match from the range of colors printed, by visual inspection. The user enters the selected color into the printer, using for example a number or position code, or by marking the selected color on the print media, which is then re-scanned by the printer. Thus, an iterative prior art manual procedure of color modification using color data determined by spectrophotometers is avoided.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2002Date of Patent: July 3, 2007Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Pau Soler, Ferran Vilanova

Patent number: 7027185Abstract: A printing system is linearized automatically using measurements made with a simple optical sensor, such as a line sensor, that is onboard the system. The printing system itself is for forming images on plural printing media. Because the optical sensor is not a calorimeter or even a true densitometer, the sensor requires calibration, preferably based upon measurements using real inks. In the past it has been considered a requirement that such calibration be performed separately using each of the print media that was to be used for printing images. Linearization according to the invention, however, refers to a single calibration of the sensor, that calibration being used in common for essentially all media—even though the single calibration is performed with respect to exclusively a single one of the plural media.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2001Date of Patent: April 11, 2006Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Francesco Subirada, Pau Soler, Johan Lammens

Patent number: 7027182Abstract: Ramps are printed with ink of a particular color, and also nominally in that color but by inks of other colors. A measured actual-ink ramp is a standard to fix the other-colors ramp, and correct other printing in those colors. In one aspect a particular color is gray, actual ink black (K), and other-color inks magenta (M), yellow (Y) and cyan (C). In another aspect, actual ink is red (R), green (G) or blue (B); other colors M, Y and C in respective pairs. For gray/black, the K ramp is a zero-chroma standard to lower composite-black (cK) chroma below ˜2.5 ?E. A sampling aspect prints for each gray tone plural cK-ink combinations preferably bracketing nominal gray values; and searches these for one nearest the particular gray—or most closely bracketing it, for interpolation—for best match. Bracketing is best optimized, by a color-space pattern centered on nominal. Other aspects are taught.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2000Date of Patent: April 11, 2006Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventor: Pau Soler

Patent number: 7023581Abstract: To compensate for color-calibration sensor drift, a measurement of bare-print-medium tonal value is taken in immediate time juxtaposition to each color test pattern; measured bare-medium tone is then used to correct color-patch readings. A line sensor or the like, on the scanning printhead carriage, is used for the reading. Preferably two such readings are taken, one at each end of each test pattern; ideally separate scans of the bare medium are taken without any test-pattern patch to develop longterm and short-term drift profiles, for refining the corrections. To compensate for calibration error due to runout in the carriage track—particularly for wide-bed printers—sensor response to bare medium is used to represent variations in carriage-to-medium spacing along the track; these variations are corrected in later sensor use.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2001Date of Patent: April 4, 2006Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Pau Soler, Roger Vinas, Francisco Javier Rodriguez, Francesc Subirada

Publication number: 20030164955Abstract: A method and apparatus for printing test patterns on a print medium which dynamically changes the relative position of elements of the test pattern dependent on the measured size of the print medium the user wishes the test pattern to be printed on. The test pattern layout may be optimized to expend as little print media as possible in the printing of the test pattern or to maximize the accuracy of measurements taken from the test pattern. Preferably, the size of the media is automatically determined by the printing device and once the test pattern has been printed it is automatically interpreted by the printing device and used to set or adjust an operational parameter of the printing device, for example a color calibration parameter.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2001Publication date: September 4, 2003Inventors: Roger Vinas, Pau Soler, Francisco Javier Rodriguez
