A printed matter processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires image data of an environment in which a printed matter is set, a processor, and a display unit, in which the processor configured to, by executing a program, input the image data acquired by the acquisition unit, display how the printed matter is seen in a case where the printed matter is set in the environment on the display unit, by compositing the printed matter in the image data in accordance with a printing condition of the printed matter, and decide the printing condition of the printed matter by changing the printing condition of the printed matter in accordance with a user operation and displaying the printed matter.

Methods and systems for creating labels from a template can involve correcting an image of a form captured by an image-capturing device, detecting in the image of the form a group of features including one or more polygons, and one or more writable areas in polygon(s), creating a template of the form based on the group of features detected in the image, and transmitting the template electronically to a requester of the template.

A method for reducing image burn-in artifacts in an electrophotographic printing system, includes receiving a print job including image data for a set of pages to be printed. The pages are analyzed to determine that the image data for a sequence of pages in the print job are similar. The similar pages are printed using a pattern of lateral translations wherein the image data is laterally translated such that it is printed at a different lateral position on the printed page. The similar pages can also be printed using a pattern of page orientations including a first page orientation and a second page orientation, wherein the image data for the second page orientation is rotated 180 degrees relative to the image data for the first page orientation.

Disclosed is an image processing apparatus including: a derivation unit configured to derive a target luminance characteristic based on a viewing condition of an image and a print luminance characteristic predicted based a reflection characteristic corresponding to data thereon; a unit configured to generate print image data on an image by converting input image data by using a tone conversion characteristic that is set based on these characteristics, in which the derivation unit derives, in a case where a reproduction range of an illumination intensity in the print luminance characteristic is different, the target luminance characteristic so that a liner area of an output luminance in a case where the reproduction range is relatively large becomes large.

The present invention relates to a device (100) for checking printing of an article, the device (100) comprising: data providing device (10) adapted to provide printing data for the article from product data of the article; camera device (20) adapted to receive an image of an article printed by a printing process and to provide it as image data; and a computer device (30) adapted to perform a quality check of the printing process based on a comparison of the printing data with the image data.

In one example of the disclosure, a set of electronic document templates is accessed and instances of duplicated document content are identified. Display of a user notice for first duplicated document content is caused. Responsive to receipt of data indicative of a user instruction to create a component template for the first duplicated content, the component template is created and stored.

Even from a plurality of small documents, their front-side and back-side images to be formed on a recording paper sheet, with alignment and coincidence of the front-side and back-side images of each document between the front and back sides of the recording paper sheet. In an image forming apparatus, an image processing section detects a front-side image of an original document from a scan area read in a first scan by an image reading section, detects a back-side image of the original document from a scan area read in a second scan, and moves or rotates the front-side image and the back-side image of the original document in terms of a whole image of the scan area so that the front-side image and the back-side image of the original document are brought into alignment and coincidence between a front side and a back side of a recording paper sheet.

The present invention relates to a method and system for tracking, issuing, and authenticating gear or articles, such as uniforms, badges, equipment, weapons, etc, for use in law enforcement or other official capacity.

In one example of the disclosure, a set of electronic document templates is accessed and instances of duplicated document content are identified. Display of a user notice for first duplicated document content is caused. Responsive to receipt of data indicative of a user instruction to create a component template for the first duplicated content, the component template is created and stored.

A pattern generation device includes: a dot pattern generation circuit that generates, with dots each including one pixel and/or a plurality of connected pixels, a tint block pattern by using an adjacent dot pattern to a reproduced pattern where the dots are reproduced when copied and a non-reproduced pattern where the dots are unlikely to be reproduced when copied as compared with in the reproduced pattern; and an output circuit that provides the generated tint block pattern to a printing unit that prints an image, in which the reproduced pattern includes an effective large dot region where the dispersed dots are arranged at a higher space density than in the non-reproduced pattern.
