  • System and device for attenuating curl in substrates printed by inkjet printers
    Patent number: 10787002
    Abstract: An aqueous ink printer includes an anti-curl fluid applicator that applies anti-curl fluid to a side of a substrate that is opposite a side that bears or will bear an ink image. The anti-curl fluid applicator includes a switching network that is configured to independently and selectively bias segments of a pressure member electrically. The segments are arranged along a longitudinal axis of the pressure member. The pressure member forms a nip with a anilox roller partially immersed in a reservoir of anti-curl fluid. As the switching network is operationed to selectively and independently bias the segments electrically using data corresponding to the ink image, anti-curl fluid migrates from the anilox roller onto the substrate in areas opposite the electrically biased segments.

  • DYNAMIC COMPRESSION ACCELERATION USING REAL-TIME IMAGE DATA ENTROPY ANALYSIS
    Publication number: 20200304677
    Abstract: An image processing system and method are described which use entropy values in processing the image. For each of a plurality of segments of an image, the segment is considered as a stream of bits and a bit difference is computed between pairs of sequential bit sequences in the stream of bits. An entropy value of the segment is computed as a function of the bit differences. The image is processing based on the computed entropy values, which may include compressing some or all of the image segments using an acceleration factor that is based on the computed entropy value for the segment. In this way, differences in entropy, which correlate with the compressibility of the image segment, can ensure an optimal compression of the segment, or in some cases, no compression.

  • IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
    Publication number: 20200304689
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a receiver and a correcting unit. The receiver receives a first read value and a second read value. The first read value indicates a result of reading a first color by a reader from a recording medium in which the first color is applied to a first area in which in-plane density unevenness is confirmable within the recording medium. The second read value indicates a result of reading a second color by the reader. The second color is different from the first color and is applied to a second area that is substantially the same as the first area in a superimposed manner. The correcting unit corrects in-plane density unevenness of the second color applied to the first color in the superimposed manner based on the first read value received by the receiver and the second read value received by the receiver.
