  • Image tiling in ink jet printing systems
    Patent number: 7859724
    Abstract: A system or method of removing whitespace between tiled or repeated patterns generated during a printing operation. The system takes an initial image and determines if there exist extraneous bits of whitespace around the edge of actual image. Once this information is established, the printer application program uses that information to alter the tiled output accordingly to produce a seamless image with repeated or tiled patterns of the actual image.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: December 28, 2010
    Assignee: Electronics for Imaging, Inc.
