  • Print saturation calibration
    Patent number: 10124598
    Abstract: Examples include computing devices, processes, and/or machine-readable storage mediums comprising instructions to analyze at least one digital image corresponding to calibration output of a printing device to determine location saturation values for nozzle locations of the printing device. At least one printhead is segmented into segments corresponding to one or more nozzle locations. A reference segment is determined from among the segments of the printhead, and a uniformity correction value is determined for at least one segment based at least in part on the reference segment.
    Type: Grant
