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.
Claims21
A printer cartridge comprising:
- memory;
- and
- a transform wrapper to dynamically build a transform map for a printer based on metadata stored on the memory,
- the metadata to identify:
- (a) a type of depositing material, (b) the transform map, (c) a type of print media, and (d) the printer,
- the meta data including:
- a plurality of transform maps, each transform map corresponding to at least one of a particular media type or an output quality, and
- a property to describe primitive data including a neutral axis, a set of seed nodes, and a delta table, the property including a count of nodes,
- the memory storing the primitive data, and
- the transform wrapper to communicate a change in the metadata from the printer cartridge to the printer in response to a change in at least one of the type of the depositing material, the transform map, the print media, or the printer during run-time.

A printer cartridge comprising:
- a memory storing metadata and primitive data,
- the metadata including a plurality of transform maps,
- the metadata to identify:
- (a) a type of depositing material, (b) the transform map, (c) a type of print media, and (d) the printer,
- the metadata including properties and tags to describe the primitive data,
- the property to identify a count of nodes for a corresponding one of the plurality of transform maps,
- the tags to identify at least one of a media type or a print quality for a corresponding one of the plurality of transform maps,
- the primitive data including a neutral axis, a set of seed nodes, and a delta table for building a selected transform map to be selected based on the property and tag.

An ink cartridge comprising:
- a depositing material storage containing depositing material of a particular color;
- a storage device carried by the cartridge,
- the storage device including metadata and primitive data to support building a transform map for the printer,
- the metadata to identify:
- (a) the depositing material, (b) the transform map, (c) a type of print media, and (d) the printer,
- the metadata including:
- a plurality of transform maps, respective transform maps corresponding to the depositing material, a particular media type, and an output quality, and
- properties, each property to describe corresponding primitive data including a neutral axis, seed nodes, and a delta table, and each property including a count of nodes;
- and
- a circuit to communicate a change in the metadata from the printer cartridge to the printer in response to a change in at least one of the type of the depositing material, the transform map, the print media, or the printer during run-time.
