Abstract
Methods for configuring and calibrating a printing system are described. Configuring a printing system involves obtaining data for determining a reference print element in the printing system. The reference print element is then used to determine calibration data for a given print element. The calibration data is applied for the given print element to generate a print output.
Claims8
A method for configuring a printing system comprising:
- obtaining data indicative of a relationship between colorimetry and deposition of printing colorant for a plurality of print elements of the printing system;
- determining a reference print element from the plurality of print elements of the printing system based on said data;
- determining calibration data for at least one selected print element in the plurality of print elements based on said data, the calibration data calibrating deposition of printing colorant for the at least one selected print element with reference to the reference print element;
- calibrating the at least one selected print element using the determined calibration data, the at least one selected print element calibrated against the reference print element;
- and
- printing an image, by the print elements, including by the reference print elements and by the calibrated at least one selected print element.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a program, which when executed by a processing system, causes the processing system:
- use calibration data to determine for a selected print element, an output printing colorant deposition value for a given colorimetry,
- the output printing colorant deposition value being determined as a function of a relationship between colorimetry and deposition of printing colorant for a reference print element;
- calibrate the selected print element using the determined output printing colorant deposition value, the selected print element calibrated against the reference print element;
- and
- print an image, by a plurality of print elements including the reference print element and the calibrated selected print element.
