Abstract: A system for optimizing RGB digital color images to print a high speed textile conveyed substrate using a series of modular single color specific ink jet print engines. The system mounts a rotary screen upstream and in operable combination with the ink jet print engines consequentially providing a broad array of printing modes and effects. Each print engine extracts print engine specific instructions from a server to provide a sequential cascade of printings to print the desired image. Internetworking extends operable control to remote client and expands RGB image archive to galleries of the World Wide Web. Present commercial rotary screen machines can be retrofitted to utilize the present system.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of printing a digital image on a textile including the steps of selecting 8 to 16 inks to form an ink set, calibrating the ink set to create an ink set profile, using the ink set profile to calculate hue and shade-based look-up tables directly correlating the inks with the color space coordinates of the pixels of the digital image. The present invention also is a system and an apparatus providing a device for performing the calibration of the ink set and direct correlation of the color space coordinates. The printed fabric has a first plurality of dots having 8 to 16 differently colored inks per dot and a second plurality of dots having one color per dot. Significantly, the present invention produces printed textiles having a high detail, deep color, and broad shading, as well as a combination of dyes heretofore considered incompatible.

Abstract: There is provided a method, system, and apparatus of reproducing a digital image on a paper including the steps of the user selecting 8 to 16 inks to form an ink set, calibrating the ink set to create an ink set profile, using the ink set profile to calculate hue-based and/or shade-based look-up tables (LUTs) that directly correlate the inks with the color space coordinates (e.g., RGB values) of the pixels of the digital image. By directly correlating the inks and the color space coordinates using hue and shade, the present method faithfully reproduces the digital image. The method may be practiced using a system and/or apparatus that provides means for performing the calibration of the ink set and direct correlation of the color space coordinates. The printed substrate has a first plurality of dots having 8 to 16 differently colored inks per dot and a second plurality of dots having one color per dot.
