Abstract: A printing system is disclosed. The printing system includes a printer to print image data to a medium. The printer includes a first pass channel including a first set of pel forming elements to print a first component of the image data and a second pass channel including a second set of pel forming elements to print a second component of the image data, wherein the first component of the image data and the second component of the image data occupy a same region on the print medium. The printing system also includes a print controller to perform uniformity compensation based on a combined compensation of the first pass channel and the second pass channel.

Abstract: A printing system is disclosed. The printing system includes a halftone calibration module to receive one or more un-calibrated halftones, transform un-calibrated threshold values in the one or more un-calibrated halftones via an inverse transfer function to generate calibrated halftone threshold values and generate one or more calibrated halftones based on the calibrated halftone threshold values.

Abstract: Systems and methods for connector for supplying fluid to a print system. One system is an apparatus that includes a fluid supply station of a printer with a connector to couple with a fluid source for supplying fluid to at least one printhead of the printer. The connector includes an interface having a body with an end surface that corresponds with a face of a nozzle of the fluid source. The connector also includes an inlet protruding from the end surface and configured to enter an opening of the nozzle for receiving the fluid from the fluid source. The connector further includes communication circuitry disposed on the end surface and configured to establish a connection with corresponding communication circuitry disposed on the face of the nozzle of the fluid source when the inlet enters the opening of the nozzle and the end surface and the nozzle face align.

Abstract: A printing system is disclosed. The printing system includes a first print engine to print content on a web of paper and a vacuum unit to provide stabilization and cooling of the web. The vacuum unit operates in a first mode upon receiving an activation signal from the first print engine and operates in a second mode upon de-assertion of the activation signal.

Abstract: Stretch-wrap forming of titanium parts or the like by resistance heating the part and a steel forming element which is cast into a fused silica die insert. Heating is accomplished by an electrical circuit in which both the part and the element are connected in parallel. The part is stretch wrapped over the element while a low voltage, high amperage current is allowed to flow through both the part and the element.
