Abstract
Methods and systems for forming a pattern ink pantograph. In an example embodiment, two or more pattern inks can be configured, such that a frequency of one pattern ink among the two (or more) pattern inks comprises a frequency below an MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) and a frequency of another pattern ink among the two or more pattern inks comprises a frequency above said MTF. The two or more pattern inks can be used as a special color space to paint a font or a geometric object, and such pattern inks are also independent of what is being written. Each pattern ink comprises vector graphic data.
Claims20
A method of forming a pattern ink pantograph, said method comprising:
- configuring at least two pattern inks, wherein a frequency of one pattern ink among said at least two pattern inks comprises a frequency below an MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) and a frequency of another pattern ink among said at least two pattern inks comprises a frequency above said MTF;
- and
- wherein said at least two pattern inks are usable as a special color space to paint a font or a geometric object, and wherein said at least two pattern inks are independent of what is being written, thereby producing a variable data pantograph based on said at least two pattern inks.
A system for providing a pattern ink pantograph, said system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-usable medium embodying computer program code, said computer-usable medium capable of communicating with said at least one processor, said computer program code comprising instructions executable by said at least one processor and configured for:
- configuring at least two pattern inks, wherein a frequency of one pattern ink among said at least two pattern inks comprises a frequency below an MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) and a frequency of another pattern ink among said at least two pattern inks comprises a frequency above said MTF;
- and
- wherein said at least two pattern inks are usable as a special color space to paint a font or a geometric object, and wherein said at least two pattern inks are independent of what is being written, thereby producing a variable data pantograph based on said at least two pattern inks.
A pattern ink pantograph, said comprising:
- at least two pattern inks, wherein a frequency of one pattern ink among said at least two pattern inks comprises a frequency below an MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) and a frequency of another pattern ink among said at least two pattern inks comprises a frequency above said MTF;
- and
- wherein said at least two pattern inks are usable as a special color space to paint a font or a geometric object, and wherein said at least two pattern inks are independent of what is being written, thereby producing a variable data pantograph based on said at least two pattern inks.
