PRINT MEDIA CALIBRATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17768816 titled 'PRINT MEDIA CALIBRATION
Simplified Explanation
The method described in the patent application involves receiving a print target at a printing apparatus, printing a drop linearization chart on a sample of the print target, measuring the drop linearization chart to determine a measured drop linearization curve for the print target, comparing the measured drop linearization curve to predefined drop linearization curves, and applying a linearization defined by the most similar drop linearization curve to print data to be printed on the print target.
- Receiving print target at printing apparatus

Original Abstract Submitted
In an example, a method includes receiving, at a printing apparatus, a print target. The method may also include printing a drop linearization chart on a sample of the print target and measuring the drop linearization chart to determine a measured drop linearization curve for the print target. The method may include comparing the measured drop linearization curve to a plurality of predefined drop linearization curves to determine a most similar drop linearization curve from the plurality of predefined drop linearization curves, and applying a linearization defined by the most similar drop linearization curve to print data to be printed on the print target.
