Patent number: 7261388Abstract: In a method of printing a plurality of pages during a print job, a page-wide-array printing device having redundant dot-forming elements is used. Print masks distribute dot-forming-element activity between the redundant dot-forming elements in a manner taking into account known malfunctions of dot-forming elements to hide such malfunctions, or reduce a visible effect of such malfunctions in the pages printed. The method includes generating a plurality of print masks which are different, as they distribute the dot-forming-element activity in different ways, but are equivalent, since they are based on the same knowledge of dot-forming-element malfunctions; dividing the print job into page-sets of at least one page; and printing the different page-sets of the print job using different equivalent print masks, thereby distributing the dot-forming-element activity in different ways from page-set to page-set.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2005Date of Patent: August 28, 2007Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Ramon Vega, Jose Luis Valero, Xavier Bruch

Patent number: 7052102Abstract: Fixer is detected on a print media 22 by applying a predetermined pattern 200, FIG. 3, of fixer to the media, and over or under-printing it with a fill of coloured ink, and then optically detecting the predetermined pattern. For example, magenta ink may be applied over the fixer pattern on a glossy media, areas with both fixer and ink having a detectable increase in optical density compared to areas with ink alone. The pattern is scanned and the image information is used to check fixer nozzle functionality and fixer printhead alignment.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2003Date of Patent: May 30, 2006Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Jose Luis Valero, Oscar Martinez

Patent number: 6958482Abstract: To check that nozzles of printheads 11-15 applying fixer or an ink to a print media 22 are operating correctly, the fixer or ink is applied to selected locations on a fluorescent print media which is then subjected to ultra-violet radiation; the reflectivities at these locations are detected in the visible spectrum and the information is analyzed using appropriate image processing algorithms. In an ink-jet printer, for example, applied fixer may be irradiated with ultra-violet light by a source 30 and applied inks may be irradiated with visible light, with a common detector in the visible light range being employed.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2003Date of Patent: October 25, 2005Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Oscar Martinez, Jose Luis Valero
