A method for controlling color bleed in relation to a system-invoked halftone color-image process which involves and includes the practice of error diffusion. The proposed method involves (a) selecting a location in the system which is downstream therein relative to where error diffusion takes place, (b) at that location, performing diffusion-accumulated error calculation, (c) at another location in the system which is downstream from where error calculation takes place, applying error filtering to define a numerically weighted pixel-neighbor distribution pattern for such calculated accumulated error, where the numbers associated with that pattern add to a defined distribution-weight totality number, and (d) then preparing, for use in a next-pixel error-diffusion event, a chosen distribution-weight totality number which is less than the defined distribution-weight totality number.

Techniques for creating an individual image sized to a desired print area plus a desired amount of bleed area to thereby reduce an amount of ink applied outside a desired print area are presented. In an embodiment, each of the desired print area dimensions, a default ink bleed width, and an ink bleed adjustment setting are obtained. The individual image comprises an image container sized to a desired print area plus a desired amount of bleed area. Each of the respective dimensions of the image container of the individual image is set to the corresponding respective dimension of the desired print area plus the default ink bleed width. A base image providing image content for the image container is sized to the dimensions of the image container if dimensions of the base image do not already equal the dimensions of the image container. If an adjustment to the bleed area is required, an adjustment setting indicative of a desired width of the ink bleed is obtained, and a white frame is inserted around the inside perimeter of the individual image, the white frame having a width equal to the difference between the default ink bleed width and the desired width of the ink bleed.

A transfer material is provided that can be more firmly attached to an image substrate without deteriorating printing characteristics concerning image bleeding, printing resolution, and the like. An ink receiving layer is of a gap-absorbing type. An adhesive layer includes discretely disposed adhesive pieces provided on a surface of the ink receiving layer so as to leave exposed portions on the surface of the ink receiving layer.

In an inkjet printing apparatus comprising a printhead having a plurality of nozzle arrays, where a plurality of nozzles for one ink are arranged in a predetermined direction, for performing printing by moving the printhead relatively to a printing medium in a direction crossing to the predetermined direction, the plurality of nozzle arrays are controlled so that a printing duty of preceding nozzle arrays in the relative movement is higher than a printing duty of subsequent nozzle arrays. By virtue of this control, it is possible to suppress generation of color mixture and bleeding, and achieve high-speed printing with high image quality.

An artists canvas suitable for accepting and releasing water-based paints, pencils, and inks, in which the artists canvas is coated with a coating is formulated to accept and release water-based paints, pencils, and inks without unacceptable running or bleeding of the water-based paints, pencils, and inks in and on the coating.

Compositions, systems, and methods for ink-jet printing having improved black to color bleed control, reduced wicking, and / or reduced halo are described. The composition can include a functionalized carbon pigment dispersed in an ink vehicle. The carbon pigment includes functional groups chemically attached thereto. Suitable functional groups includes an aromatic ring structure having multiple carboxyl groups (or salts thereof) attached to the aromatic ring structure, wherein at least two of the multiple carboxyl groups are positioned on adjacent carbon atoms of the aromatic ring structure.
