Abstract
In a first aspect, the invention relates to a method for improving an image quality when printing an electronic image file by a user, the method comprising (a) receiving an original electronic image file from a user, (b) generating a modified electronic image file, and (c) providing the modified image file to the user. In particular, other printing data are also received from the user, which printing data comprise at least a printer model and optionally a firmware version according to a non-limiting embodiment, in which the modified image file is generated taking into account said printer data. In a further aspect, the invention relates to a computer-implemented system.

A method for improving an image quality for printing an electronic image file by a user, the method comprising (a) receiving an uploaded original electronic image file from a user to a web application, (b) generating a modified electronic image file, at least based on the original image file, and (c) providing the modified image file to the user through the web application, for printing the modified image file by the user by means of a printing device of the user, characterized in that furthermore, printer data are also received from the user, which printer data relate to said printing device, and in which the modified image file is generated, taking into account said printer data without direct intervention with the user's printing device, including without direct intervention with either of firmware version update information or printer calibration information of the user's printer.
Computer-implemented system for improving an image quality for printing an electronic image file by a user, the system comprising (a) receiving an uploaded original electronic image file from a user to a web application, (b) generating a modified electronic image file, at least based on the original image file, and (c) sending the modified image file to the user through the web application, for printing it the modified image file by the user by means of a printing device of the user, characterized in that a server is further configured for the receipt of printer data of the user, which printer data relate to said printing device, and is configured for generating the modified image file, taking into account said printer data without direct intervention with the user's printing device, including without direct intervention with either of firmware version update information or printer calibration information of the user's printer.
