  • Patent number: 9375963
    Abstract: Techniques related to printer calibration are disclosed herein. In an example, an actual measurement of a colorimetric parameter is performed by measuring the colorimetric parameter on a printed calibration pattern. The colorimetric parameter is associated with an ink drop number. The calibration pattern is printed with selected printing conditions. An ink drop number variation is determined from a reference measurement and the actual measurement of the colorimetric parameter. The reference measurement is a measurement of a colorimetric parameter. The reference measurement corresponds to a measurement of the colorimetric parameter on a calibration pattern printed with the selected printing conditions. An actual linearization is generated by validating a set of pre-defined linearizations with the determined ink drop number variation. Other examples of printer calibration are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9044959
    Abstract: Methods performed by a printing system are described herein. A portion of a print area is located by operating an optical sensor to respond to a color shift. The color shift is from a printed reference color. The color shift is caused by a fixer fluid applied to the portion. Printing systems and tangible machine readable storage mediums are also described herein.
