Abstract: In one example, a printing system includes a print engine and a print engine controller operatively connected to the print engine to print, on a single substrate web, graphics for multiple different layouts of corrugated boxes to be lined with the web and machine readable images representing corrugator control information for making the multiple different layouts.

Abstract: A method may include with a raster image processor, creating pretreatment plane rasterized image data from source image data and, with a plasma emitter, selectively applying a plasma treatment to a surface of a print media based on the pre-treatment plane rasterized image data. A printing device may include a raster image processor to execute an image analysis module to create pre-treatment plane rasterized image data from source image data and a plasma emitting device to selectively apply a plasma treatment to a surface of a print media based on the pre-treatment plane rasterized image data.

Abstract: In an example implementation, a method of cleaning parts includes placing the parts into a variable compression chamber, filling the chamber with a liquid, and forcing pressurized gas to dissolve into the liquid to form a gas-liquid solution. The method includes cycling the pressure within the chamber around a gas solubility pressure level to repeatedly bring gas molecules out of the solution as gas bubbles, and force the gas molecules to dissolve back into the solution.

Abstract: A printing device may include a processor to receive data describing a plurality of independent print streams comprising an image; for each of the plurality of independent print streams, emulate a first frame-less press using gapless frames on a first side of a medium upon execution of a framing module wherein each of the images of the independent print streams comprise an emulated spitgap; for each of the plurality of independent print streams, emulating a second frame-less press using gapless frames on a second side of the medium with the framing module, wherein an emulated spitgap associated with each of the images of the second side of the medium is to be geometrically adjusted to match a position on the medium of an image on the first side of the medium.

Abstract: An example of an apparatus including a front-end engine to receive document data in a first format for printing via a network. The apparatus includes a conversion engine in communication with the front-end engine. The conversion engine is to carry out a conversion of the document data from the first format to an uncompressed format, wherein the conversion engine generates metrics associated with the conversion. The conversion engine parses the document data in the uncompressed format into a plurality of separations. The apparatus includes a compression engine to process a separation of the plurality of separations from the uncompressed format to a second format, wherein the second format is a predetermined format associated with a printing device. The apparatus includes a print engine controller to transmit the separations in the second format to the printing device, wherein the print engine controller uses the metrics to predict a starvation condition.

Abstract: A difference unit may include a first sensor to identify a position of a first mark printed on a first web output from a first web press, a second sensor to identify a position of the first mark of the first web, a third sensor to identify a position of a second mark printed on a second web, and a synchronization engine to determine a synchronization difference between the first web and the second web based on the identification of the first mark and second mark as sensed by the second sensor and the third sensor.

Abstract: Examples analyze at least one of a plurality of planes of image data of print content to determine media expansion characteristics for the print content based at least in part on the at least one of the planes of image data. Examples adjust, prior to printing the print content, at least one plane of image data based at least in part on the media expansion characteristics to thereby compensate for media expansion during printing of the print content.

Abstract: In one example, a method for an inkjet printer that includes: converting original image data to rasterized data for printing with an inkjet printer; performing a first halftoning operation to modify the rasterized data for a visible independent effect, generating modified rasterized data; and performing a second halftoning operation on the modified rasterized data to generate halftone data for printing the image with the visible independent effect.

Abstract: There is disclosed environments, systems and processes for personalized document creation. Custom fixed documents may be obtained from XPS-formatted document templates based upon customization information. Document templates may be created and related to variable content in a content database. A rendering system may use the customization information in merging a selected document template with the content database in accordance with relationships and selection criteria.
