Abstract: Printing system and method for reducing the visibility of gloss differentials having at least one computer-supported inline imaging unit assembly designed to measure specular light reflecting gloss differentials of printed ink. At least one smoothing roller assembly is operationally connected to at least one sheet transport assembly or a smoothing transport subassembly of the sheet transport assembly of the printing system. A smoothing roller assembly is designed to roll at least partly the length and width of at least one printed side of at least one printed sheet disposed along the transport subassembly, pressure generated by the smoothing roller assembly configured to reduce detected gloss differentials from printed ink. At least the outer surface of the at least one smoothing roller assembly is substantially at least one or more of metal and polyurethane.

Abstract: A method of automatically displaying a predetermined set of print attributes of a print job, the method including receiving an image of a first printed sheet, the first printed sheet including one or more at least partial machine-readable codes, the one or more at least partial machine-readable codes encoded with data related to the predetermined set of print attributes, decoding the data from the one or more at least partial machine-readable codes, determining if the data includes all of the print attributes in the predetermined set of print attributes, and if the data includes all of the print attributes in the predetermined set of print attributes, displaying the data using augmented reality (AR) over the first printed sheet.

Abstract: A method of analyzing decurling settings for a print request including a plurality of sheets, the method including receiving a real image of a first portion of the plurality of sheets, receiving a first input, displaying one or more decurler settings, and displaying a first augmented image of a stack of the plurality of sheets.

Abstract: A method for identifying one or more spot colors in a full color multi-bit image data, and processing the identified spot colors for output on an image printing system is provided. The method includes inputting the full color image data, wherein the full color image data includes a plurality of pixels; analyzing the inputted image to identify the pixels with a spot color from the pixels with a non-spot color, wherein each pixel with a spot color is within a predetermined threshold from a desired color value; processing the identified spot color pixels; and combining the processed spot color pixels with non-spot color pixels to form a data structure.
