Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of color control technology for inkjet printing equipment, and specifically to a color correction method and system based on the consistency of multiple printheads. Background Technology

[0002] As inkjet printing equipment develops towards wider formats and higher speeds, multi-head parallel operation has become the mainstream configuration. Due to individual differences in nozzle diameter and piezoelectric ceramic response speed during the manufacturing process, wear and tear, clogging, and aging of the drive circuit occur during use. At the same time, changes in ambient temperature and humidity alter ink viscosity and surface tension, and installation errors can lead to nozzle position deviations and uneven ink supply pressure. These factors collectively cause the core problem of poor color consistency in multi-head inkjet printing equipment, seriously affecting the quality of printed products.

[0003] Currently, most multi-printhead color control methods rely on manual calibration, which has a long calibration cycle, low accuracy, and is entirely dependent on manual operation, resulting in low efficiency. Moreover, during the compensation process, only a single parameter is used for compensation. For example, patent CN202021856789.3 only compensates for brightness or ink volume, ignoring hue and saturation deviations. The calibration dimension is singular and cannot completely solve the problem of color consistency.

[0004] During the calibration process, the calibration methods are crude and lack a closed loop, often relying on fixed parameter compensation or manual adjustment. They lack an automatic iterative hierarchical closed-loop mechanism, resulting in low calibration efficiency and poor accuracy. Repeated calibrations often fail to meet the standards. For example, patent CN202510251990.4 does not involve color parameter adjustment and requires machine downtime for testing, affecting production progress. Patent CN202310856789.1 uses fixed parameters, which cannot adapt to dynamic scenarios such as printhead aging and ink viscosity changes. Patent CN202110389765.2 requires manual printing of color cards for calibration, lacking dynamic adjustment capabilities and exhibiting poor adaptability.

[0005] Therefore, how to achieve consistent color correction across multiple printheads is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

If the corrected overall color difference is greater than the set compensation trigger threshold and less than or equal to the first preset value, then a second correction is performed, and the compensation coefficient is updated iteratively in a fast manner. If the corrected overall color difference is greater than the first preset value and less than or equal to the second preset value, then depth correction is performed to strengthen the correction factor weight and adjust the ink supply pressure offset.

For the corrected first The actual b-axis color coordinate value output by each printhead. The standard b-axis color coordinate value is used for the reference printhead.

8. The color correction method based on multi-head consistency according to claim 1, characterized in that, Based on the calculated corrected overall color difference, a graded closed-loop processing is performed, including: The corrected overall color difference is compared with the set compensation trigger threshold; If the corrected overall color difference is less than or equal to the set compensation trigger threshold, it is deemed qualified and the current compensation parameters are maintained. If the corrected overall color difference is greater than the set compensation trigger threshold and less than or equal to the first preset value, then a second correction is performed, and the compensation coefficient is updated iteratively in a fast manner. If the corrected overall color difference is greater than the first preset value and less than or equal to the second preset value, then depth correction is performed to strengthen the correction factor weight and adjust the ink supply pressure offset. If the corrected overall color difference is greater than the second preset value or the number of depth correction failures reaches the preset value, a fault alarm will be triggered and the target nozzle will be shut down.

9. A color correction system based on multi-printer consistency, characterized in that, include: The acquisition module is used to acquire the standard color parameters of the reference printhead under standard conditions, the actual color parameters of the target printhead under actual working conditions, the ambient temperature and humidity, and the actual ink viscosity. The compensation judgment module is used to calculate the multidimensional deviation and comprehensive color difference based on the standard color parameters and the actual color parameters, and to judge the color compensation in combination with the constraint conditions. The compensation calculation module is used to calculate the multi-dimensional compensation factor based on the ambient temperature and humidity and the actual ink viscosity, and to calculate the multi-dimensional compensation coefficient in combination with the multi-dimensional deviation. The adjustment module is used to calculate the driving parameters of the target nozzle based on the multidimensional compensation coefficient and the multidimensional compensation factor, and then adjust the working parameters of the target nozzle based on the driving parameters. The calibration calculation module is used to calculate the overall color difference after calibration based on the actual color parameters after calibration. The closed-loop processing module is used to perform graded closed-loop processing based on the calculated corrected comprehensive color difference.
