SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PRINTING ON A CLEAR POLYMERIC FILM WEB
A system (20) and method for printing on clear polymeric film web (24) are disclosed. A first stationary inkjet print unit (44, 60, 70, 82) has first ejection nozzles that span a width of the clear polymeric film web and a second stationary inkjet print unit (44, 60, 70, 82) has second ejection nozzles that span the width of the clear polymeric film web. A web transport conveys the clear polymeric film web past the stationary inkjet print units. First and second print controllers operate the first and second and stationary inkjet print units to deposit drops of a first and a second material on the clear polymeric film web at a first and a second resolution, respectively. In addition, dimensions and position of a page element to be printed on the clear polymeric film web are adjusted to compensate for distortion that may occur to the printed page element due to shrinking of the clear polymeric film web.

DETERMINING PRINTING FLUID AMOUNTS
A method is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a matrix representation of a source image to be printed, the matrix representation defining a colorant value for each of a plurality of print addressable locations, wherein the colorant values are representative of amounts of print colorant to be delivered to the print addressable locations during a printing operation. The method may comprise identifying, by processing circuitry, a region in the matrix representation having a first print addressable location and an adjacent second print addressable location, wherein a difference between colorant values of the first print addressable location and the second print addressable location meets or exceeds a defined colorant value threshold. The method may comprise determining, by processing circuitry, an amount of treatment fluid to be delivered to each of the plurality of print addressable locations during the printing operation, wherein an amount of treatment fluid to be delivered in the identified region is determined to be greater than an amount of treatment fluid to be delivered to adjacent print addressable locations having colorant values which differ by less than the defined colorant value threshold. An apparatus and a machine-readable medium are also disclosed.
COLORING COMPOSITION, INK FOR INK JET RECORDING, INK JET RECORDING METHOD, AND INK JET PRINTER CARTRIDGE
A coloring composition includes: a compound represented by the General Formula (1) as defined herein; and a compound represented by the General Formula (D) as defined herein, in which a mass ratio {General Formula (1)/General Formula (D)} of a content of the compound represented by the General Formula (1) to a content of the compound represented by the General Formula (D) is {99/1} to {50/50}.
Recording Method And Recording Device
A recording method includes: a white ink attachment step of ejecting a white ink composition containing a white coloring material from a white ink jet head and attaching the white ink composition to a recording medium; a non-white ink attachment step of ejecting a non-white ink composition containing a non-white coloring material from a non-white ink jet head and attaching the non-white ink composition to the recording medium; and a primary drying step of heating the white ink composition and the non-white ink composition attached to the recording medium by a drying mechanism. In the white ink attachment step and the non-white ink attachment step, a layer containing the white ink composition and the non-white ink composition is formed by performing main scanning multiple times, in which the ink compositions are ejected and attached to the recording medium, and by attaching the white ink composition and the non-white ink composition to the same scanning region in the recording medium by the same main scanning, while moving a position of an ink jet head relative to the recording medium.
Recording Apparatus And Recording Method
A recording apparatus includes a white ink jet head, a non-white ink jet head, and a control section that controls performing recording by performing a main scan a plurality of times in which, while a position of an ink jet head relative to the recording medium is moved, an ink composition is ejected from the ink jet head and is applied to the recording medium. The control section performs recording in a first recording mode in which the white ink composition and the non-white ink composition are applied to the same scan region of the recording medium by the same main scan and recording in a second recording mode in which the white ink composition and the non-white ink composition are applied to the same scan region of the recording medium by different main scans.
IMAGE QUALITY EVALUATION DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING DEVICE, AND IMAGE QUALITY EVALUATION METHOD
This image quality evaluation device comprises: a conversion unit that converts the data of an image to two-dimensional array data of the luminance value of each pixel in the image; a processing unit that executes an averaging process, based on a plurality of filter sizes, on each pixel of the two-dimensional array data; and an evaluation unit that evaluates the quality of the image using the processing results of the processing unit.
