An image reading apparatus uses an inclined backing surface to form a prominent shadow on the medium.
A ratio calculator determines white level information ratios among colors to identify and replace abnormal data in image reading apparatuses.
A print data generating apparatus adjusts color component values using a specific color conversion profile for bi-directional printing.
A color patch generation apparatus prints distinct RGB and Lab patches on a single sheet to streamline the measurement process.
Frequent black reference data acquisition compensates for temperature drift in the CIS module, maintaining image quality without extending processing time.
Software system simulates inkjet imaging by tracking individual picture element transformations and recording physical state changes.
Terminal device receives layout data from the printer to generate accurate preview images, reducing processing load and ensuring consistency.
System detects low-density color materials and modifies output density parameters to improve printed legibility without emphasizing notes or stains.
A color printing system specifies areas with predetermined colors from image data to measure and adjust output.
A white reference member attached to a cover uses a driving unit to switch between operating and non-operating postures.
An image processing unit applies brightness correction using stored reference smear amount data for each color component.
A test chart method determines patch counts per color based on colorimetric variation to optimize calibration.
A copying apparatus detects color images to trigger image adjustment marks only when needed.
Individual pitch tone reproduction curves compensate for pigment variations to maintain gray balance without interrupting production.
Colored substrates replace spot color inks, eliminating frequent ink changes and simplifying short-run printing operations.
A color adjusting apparatus uses reflectors or colored plating films on lenses to enhance specific light intensities.
A dual-sensor image reading device applies coordinated ground color corrections to document faces using density value comparisons.
