IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240264547 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
The patent application describes an image forming apparatus that has two modes: a normal image formation mode and a wide color gamut image formation mode. In the wide color gamut mode, the amount of developer per unit area of a developer image of a color that differs from a prescribed color is increased compared to the normal mode.
- In the wide color gamut mode, image data is generated such that an image portion formed in the prescribed color on a recording material is formed by superimposing a developer image of a different color on a developer image of the prescribed color.
- The normal mode forms the image portion in the prescribed color solely by a developer image of the prescribed color.
- The innovation allows for a wider range of colors to be accurately reproduced on the recording material.
- This technology enhances the color accuracy and vibrancy of images produced by the image forming apparatus.
- By adjusting the developer amount per unit area based on the color being reproduced, this innovation enables more precise color matching.
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in printers, copiers, and other image forming devices to improve color accuracy and expand the color gamut of printed materials.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the limitation of traditional image forming apparatus in reproducing a wide range of colors accurately.
Benefits: Enhanced color accuracy, wider color gamut, improved image quality, and more vibrant printed materials are some of the benefits of this technology.
Commercial Applications: "Enhanced Color Reproduction Technology for Image Forming Apparatus" can be utilized in the printing industry to produce high-quality marketing materials, photographs, and other color-sensitive documents.
Questions about Enhanced Color Reproduction Technology for Image Forming Apparatus:
1. How does this technology improve color accuracy in image reproduction? 2. What are the potential applications of this innovation in the printing industry?
Original Abstract Submitted
an image forming apparatus has a normal image formation mode and a wide color gamut image formation mode in which an amount of a developer per unit area of a developer image of at least a color that differs from a prescribed color among a plurality of colors is increased as compared to the normal image formation mode. image data is generated such that an image portion formed in the prescribed color in an image formed on a recording material is formed solely by a developer image of the prescribed color in the normal image formation mode, but formed by superimposing a developer image of a color that differs from the prescribed color on a developer image of the prescribed color or formed solely by a developer image of a different color in place of a developer image of the prescribed color in the wide color gamut image formation mode.
