  • Image processing system
    Patent number: 7477417
    Abstract: An image processing system including an image processing unit for processing input image data and an output unit for outputting an image processed in the image processing unit. The image processing unit has the function of cutting out a background portion of the image and effecting color specification and further has the function of specifying a method of processing the background portion. When printing the image, the output unit recognizes the background portion on the basis of the color specification and carries out background processing for the recognized background portion on the basis of the specified background processing method. It is possible to prevent visible unevenness of printing from occurring in the background portion.

  • Thermal printer and ink ribbon used therewith
    Patent number: 6600505
    Abstract: A gradation correction data used in correcting the gradation of the printed image is recorded on the leader film of the ink ribbon in a form of optically readable marks. Then the ink ribbon is set in a thermal printer, the marks are read out by an optical sensor to obtain the gradation correction data. Then, the gradation correction of the image data to be printed is carried out by referring to the correction data thus obtained prior to the actual printing of the image data.
