DETERMINING PRINT MODES OF PRINT APPARATUSES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240028853 titled 'DETERMINING PRINT MODES OF PRINT APPARATUSES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for determining the print mode to be used by a print apparatus based on image data. The method involves identifying a first fill area in the image that exceeds a defined threshold area and determining the proportion of print agent for each color to be used in printing the first color. The determined proportions of print agent are then used to determine the print mode for printing the image.

  • The method receives image data that defines the parameters of pixels in an image to be printed.
  • It identifies a first fill area in the image that exceeds a defined threshold area.
  • The first fill area is to be printed in a first color.
  • The method determines the proportion of print agent for each color to be used in printing the first color.
  • Based on the determined proportions of print agent, the method determines the print mode to be used by the print apparatus to print the image.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Printing industry: This method can be used in print apparatuses to determine the most suitable print mode for printing images, ensuring optimal color representation and print quality.
  • Graphic design: Designers can benefit from this method by having a more accurate representation of how their designs will appear when printed, allowing for better color management and control.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Inaccurate color representation: By determining the print mode based on the proportions of print agent, this method helps to ensure that the printed image closely matches the intended colors, reducing color discrepancies and inaccuracies.
  • Print quality issues: The method helps to optimize the print mode for different areas of the image, ensuring that the print apparatus applies the appropriate amount of print agent for each color, resulting in better print quality.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved color accuracy: By determining the print mode based on the proportions of print agent, this method helps to achieve more accurate color representation in printed images.
  • Enhanced print quality: The optimized print mode ensures that the print apparatus applies the appropriate amount of print agent for each color, resulting in sharper and more vibrant prints.
  • Cost and resource efficiency: By determining the print mode based on the image data, this method helps to minimize the wastage of print agent and optimize the use of resources in the print process.


Original Abstract Submitted

a print mode determination method is disclosed. the method comprises receiving image data defining parameters of pixels of an image to be printed using a print apparatus; identifying, based on the image data, a first fill area in the image that exceeds a defined threshold area, wherein the first fill area is to be printed in a first color; determining, based on the image data, a first proportion of print agent of each of a plurality of colors to be used to print the first color; and determining, based on the determined first proportions of print agent, a print mode to be used by the print apparatus to print the image. an apparatus and a machine-readable medium are also disclosed.
