Patent number: 11363170Abstract: Examples of an apparatus and method for use with a printing system are described herein. A correction to be applied to a printing system during print calibration is obtained. A distortion is applied to the correction. A relationship between an expected and measured output of the printing system is determined based on the print performed at least in part on the distorted correction. The printing system is calibrated on the basis of the determined correction.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2016Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: HP Indigo B.V.Inventors: Tsafrir Yedid Am, Rivay Mor, Pavel Blinchuk

Publication number: 20210389711Abstract: In an example, a method includes printing a set of images by transferring print agent between a roller of a print agent source and an electrophotographic surface in a plurality of transfer operations, wherein the roller is controlled to have a first voltage profile during each of the transfer operations. A variation in optical density which is consistent across the set of printed images may be detected, and a second voltage profile correction may be determined based on the variation in optical density. The method may further comprise printing a subsequent image by transferring print agent between the print agent source roller and the electrophotographic surface in a subsequent transfer operation, wherein the roller is controlled to have the second voltage profile during the subsequent transfer operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2021Publication date: December 16, 2021Applicant: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Moshe Haim, Tsafrir Yedid Am, Rivay Mor, Iliya Shahamov

Patent number: 10902642Abstract: In an example, two images of a printed calibration image are acquired using two measurement devices. The measurement devices are offset along an axis so that the two images correspond to two portions of the printed calibration image overlapping along the axis. The printed calibration image comprises a pattern extending across the printed calibration image in the direction of the axis, the pattern defining a shape so that in each image, a portion of the pattern appears as different from a straight line parallel to the axis. The two images are aligned using the two portions of pattern.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2016Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: HP Indigo B.V.Inventors: Tsafrir Yedid Am, Eli Kaminsky, Moshe Haim

Publication number: 20190391519Abstract: In an example, a method of operating a liquid electrophotographic printer is described. The method involves applying limits to a printer control signal. In particular, the printer control signal is digitally processed to reduce signal values to within the obtained limits, wherein neighboring values are modified to maintain the total energy of the printer control signal.

Patent number: 9292769Abstract: In an example implementation, a method of iterative calibration includes, in a first iteration, measuring first values of a calibration parameter, and determining first corrections for the measured first values. The method includes, in a next iteration, measuring next values of the calibration parameter that incorporate the first corrections. The first corrections are omitted from the next iteration measurements to provide pseudo iteration measurements, and the first iteration measurements are averaged with the pseudo iteration measurements. Second corrections are then determined based on the averaging.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2014Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Indigo B.V.Inventors: Tsafrir Yedid Am, Dmitry Iofe, Ran Waidman
