Abstract
A transform wrapper is stored on a memory device and the memory device may be included in a printer cartridge. The transform wrapper may dynamically build a transform map for a printer based on metadata stored at the memory device. The metadata may indicate at least one of a type of depositing material, transform map, print media and printer.
Claims14
A printer cartridge comprising:
- a memory device comprising a non-transitory data storage;
- and
- a transform wrapper stored on the memory device,
- the transform wrapper to dynamically build a transform map for a printer based on metadata stored on the memory device, wherein
- the transform map is a channel map, and the channel map includes a mapping for one of a plurality of colors;
- wherein:
- the metadata is to indicate at least one of a type of depositing material, transform map, print media and printer;
- and
- the metadata includes a recipe, the recipe including instruction to build a channel map based on at least one of a neutral axis, a set of seed nodes and a delta table included in primitive data stored by the printer cartridge;
- wherein
- the neutral axis relates to a line extending from an origin of a three-dimensional color table to a node of the color table farthest from the origin;
- the set of seed nodes correspond to nodes of a compressed color table;
- and
- the delta table is to indicate a difference between an interpolated color table node and a corresponding actual color table.
