  • Publication number: 20220006919
    Abstract: In some examples, a printing device component includes a memory device comprising compressed coefficients that, when decompressed by a printing device, form difference entries, wherein a difference entry of the difference entries represents a difference of a value of a corresponding entry of a halftone table and a value of a corresponding entry of a reference table. The memory device further includes healing parameter values specifying a healing process to apply to a reconstructed halftone table produced using the coefficients.
