  • Patent number: 8919949
    Abstract: A method for performing duplex printing with improved throughput has been developed. The method includes forming an image of a back side of a first duplex page and an image of a front side of a second duplex page on an image receiving member. Two recording media sheets are serially passed through a nip to transfer the image of the first duplex page back side to a bare side of a recording media sheet that also bears the image of the front side of the first duplex page on an obverse side and to transfer the image of the second duplex page to a bare side of a recording media sheet that has not been previously printed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 28, 2014
    Date of Patent: December 30, 2014

  • Patent number: 8540330
    Abstract: An inkjet printer has been developed, which identifies one or more printing metrics and selects a corrective operation for image data. After application of the corrective operation to image data, firing signals are generated with reference to the modified image data to compensate for an inoperative inkjet in a printhead of the inkjet printer.

  • Patent number: 8317286
    Abstract: A method for performing duplex printing enables increased throughput in an indirect printing system. The method includes measuring a coverage parameter for image data to be printed, and transforming operation of the printer from a first printing process timing sequence to a second printing process timing sequence in response to the coverage parameter exceeding a predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 8075129
    Abstract: A method adjusts operation of a printer in accordance with an analysis of image content used to generate printed images. The method includes measuring image content of a first print image, comparing the measured image content to a predetermined threshold, and altering a print process parameter to adjust operation of a printer component in response to the measured image content exceeding the threshold.

  • Patent number: 7396107
    Abstract: A method of operating an ink jet printer including printing a first image having substantially solid fill regions on a transfer surface disposed on a print drum, printing a second image on the first image, wherein the second image comprises solid or dithered fill regions that correspond to portions of some of the solid fill regions of the interlaced image, and wherein the second image has a dot density that is less than a dot density of the first image.
