Abstract: Provided in an example is a method of compressing a digital image includes dividing the image into cells of constant physical size regardless of resolution of the image to produce cell data for each cell which defines content of the cell and compressing the cell data.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a processor-readable medium stores code representing instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to access a list of print jobs for printing. The processor further determines a healthy area of a transfer media. For each job in the list, the processor calculates an image risk area (IRA) based on the healthy area, and ranks each job in a print order according to its IRA.

Abstract: A method to calibrate a printer in which printing of a first print job is controlled. A target color is obtained from a second print job that is to be printed subsequent to the first print job. Printing of the target color obtained from the second print job is controlled while controlling printing of the first print job. An image of the printed target color is received. The printer is calibrated using the printed target color in the received image and the target color obtained from the second print job.

Abstract: A color input image comprising a plurality of pixels, each pixels encoded in RGB color space, is processed to convert the RGB pixels to another color space domain for printing the color input image. The number of colors within a cell of the input image is reduced. Each cell comprises an N×M array of pixels and the number of colors is reduced to a maximum of b source colors, wherein b is a positive integer equal to or greater than 2. Each of the resulting colors of each cell is calibrated to generate a printable color. The cells are then processed to convert the pixels of each cell into another color space, for example, to determine ink vectors, in another color space, for each calibrated color.
