Abstract
There is provided a method for rendering an image according to selected image quality attributes. Two or more image quality attributes are selected from a plurality of attributes of the image. A set of pigments for an area of the image and a density for each pixel of the area are determined. A quantity of pretreatment for deposition onto a print target is determined, where the pretreatment quantity is dependent on the pigments, the density, and the selected image quality attributes.
Claims13
Method for rendering an image comprising:
- selecting quality attributes from a plurality of attributes of the image, wherein the quality attributes include at least bleed defect, coalescence, and gloss banding;
- determining for an area of the image a set of pigments for the area and a density for each pixel of the area and a print target type;
- and
- determining a quantity of pre-treatment for deposition onto a print target for the area, the pre-treatment quantity being dependent on the pigments, the density, the print target type, and the selected quality attributes.
Apparatus for rendering an image, the apparatus comprising a processor having instructions to:
- select image quality attributes from a plurality of attributes of the image, wherein the selected quality attributes include at least bleed defect, coalescence, and gloss banding;
- determine for an area of the image a set of pigments for the area and a density for each pixel of the area, and a target type for the area;
- and
- determine a quantity of pre-treatment for deposition onto a print target for the area, the pre-treatment quantity being dependent on the pigments, the density, the target type, and the selected quality attributes.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by a processor, the machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions to:
- select quality attributes from a plurality of attributes of the image, wherein the selected quality attributes include at least bleed defect, coalescence, and gloss banding;
- determine for an area of the image a set of pigments for the area and a density for each pixel of the area, and a target type for the area;
- and
- determine a quantity of pre-treatment for deposition onto a print target for the area, the pre-treatment quantity being dependent on the pigments, the density, the target type, and the selected quality attributes.
