| 20090147329 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DESIGNING A SET OF BLACK GENERATION TRANSFER CURVES - A method for designing a black generation transfer curve is described. A table is produced to convert a first signal in a first signal space to a second signal in a second signal space. Color measurement data of a device is obtained. The color measurement data relates to a signal-to-color response of the device. A black generation transfer curve is designed constrained by the color measurement data of the device. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20140240804 | IMAGE READING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND IMAGE READING METHOD - An image reading apparatus includes a document table, an image reading portion, a cover member, a reading control portion, and a document determination portion. On a color reference surface of the cover member which opposes to a document table, a partial region is provided which has a predetermined density different from a density of the color reference surface. The reading control portion reads image data from the color reference surface and the partial region of the cover member by the image reading portion. When a density difference between a density of the color reference surface and a density of the partial region on the image data read by the reading control portion is equal to or smaller than a predetermined threshold value, the document determination portion determines that the document placed on the document placement surface is a book document. | 08-28-2014 |

| 20160077460 | WRITE CONTROL APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND WRITE CONTROL METHOD - A write control apparatus is for receiving one page worth of image data and performing processes, and writing an image by exposing a photoconductor. The write control apparatus includes a write control unit including a process function unit for performing the processes; a computer for generating setting values of parameters used by the process function unit; and first and second memories for storing the setting values. When the computer sends a trigger signal to start image formation to the write control unit, the second memory stores one page worth of the setting values stored in the first memory, and the setting values of a desired page among a plurality of pages worth of the setting values stored in the second memory are applied to operations by the process function unit when the write control unit controlled by the computer writes an image of the desired page. | 03-17-2016 |

| 20080218814 | Color Proofing Method - Embodiments of the invention provide an effective method for color proofing by outputting multiple reduced or full-size versions of some selected sample of a color rendering job using different color attribute settings for each of the multiple versions. The color attribute settings may be user selected, automatically selected, or a combination of the two. A new rendering job is then generated, with each image in the new job representing one set of settings for the sample. The new rendering job may be rendered as an N-up job, where each scaled 1/Nth image shows one of the different sets of color attribute settings for the sample. Each image may include an identifier, so the user can select one image and then enter or select the identified settings in the driver. Once desired color rendering has been achieved, the entire color-adjusted rendering job may be output to the rendering device. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20080297859 | IMAGE-PROCESSING DEVICE - An image-processing device includes a first image data acquiring unit, a display unit, a display control unit, an area designating unit, an image area setting unit, a margin area setting unit, a second image data acquiring unit, a margin data creating unit, and an image data creating unit. The first image data acquiring unit acquires first image data. The display unit has a display area. The display control unit controls the display unit to display a first image on the display area based on the first image data, the first image occupying a first image area defined within the display area. The area designating unit enables a user to specify his/her desired area as a designated area in the display area. The image area setting unit sets, in the designated area, an image area that is located within the designated area and is located also within the first image area. The margin area setting unit sets, in the designated area, a margin area that is defined as an area other than the image area. The second image data acquiring unit acquires second image data corresponding to the image area. The margin data creating unit creates margin data corresponding to the margin area. The image data creating unit creates output image data by adding the margin data to the second image data. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090273819 | IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - An image processing method for displaying a simulation image of an image formed on a print medium under a first light-source color on a display device under a second light-source color comprises an acquisition step of acquiring image data to be simulated in a format according to the second light-source color, a reflective color calculation step of calculating a reflective color obtained when the acquired image data is located under an achromatic light-source color, a glossy color calculation step of converting the first light-source color into the format according to the second light-source color, and calculating a glossy color of the image data based on the converted first light-source color, and a generation step of generating an image to be displayed by adding the reflective color calculated in the reflective color calculation step and the glossy color calculated in the glossy color calculation step. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20100157393 | COLOR CONVERSION WITH TONER/INK LIMITATIONS - Methods and systems herein provide for color conversion. Such color conversion may be performed via a color conversion system that includes a converter operable to receive image data and convert color values of the image data to a color space for printing. The system also includes a color identification module operable to identify color regions in the image data for color component limitation and approximate color values in the color regions. The color identification module incorporates color limitations during these approximations computes numerical models based on the approximations that are used by the converter to convert the image data to the color space. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100157394 | THERMAL DYE ELEMENTS USEFUL FOR COLOR PROOFING - A thermal element has a support and either a thermal donor layer or a thermal dye receiving layer. The thermal element also includes a spirobiindane in an amount of at least 20 mg/m | 06-24-2010 |
| 20110102866 | AUTOMATED SOURCING FOR MULTIPLE PRINTING PRESS, MULTIPLE WEB PRINTING - A machine-implemented process determines web press printing capabilities and costs of different printing organizations using a processor. The printing capabilities comprise a number of printing units and a number of supply roll stands supplying continuous print media to the printing units. A printing request is received from a print customer through a graphic user interface. The printing request is evaluated using the processor to determine printing request requirements. A comparator compares the printing request requirements with the printing capabilities and costs to identify capable printing organizations of the different printing organizations that have abilities to process the printing request. The processor calculates different print choices and costs based on the printing capabilities and costs of the capable printing organizations and outputs the different print choices and costs to the print customer through the graphic user interface. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20150109646 | IMAGE CAPTURING UNIT, COLOR MEASURING DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING DEVICE, COLOR MEASURING SYSTEM, AND COLOR MEASURING METHOD - An image capturing unit includes a sensor section that images a predetermined range including a subject; a reference chart section that is imaged by the sensor section with the subject; and an illumination light source that illuminates the subject and the reference chart section. The illumination light source is arranged at a position where a mirror reflection region that mirror reflects light entering from the illumination light source to the sensor section is outside a region of the subject and the reference chart section. | 04-23-2015 |
