Abstract
Take-off strips are adaptively generated based on the color profile of the image to be printed to smooth ink consumption and present a more constant ink coverage and ink flow. Adaptive take-off strips have complementary color profiles to the image being printed.
Claims20
A method for adaptively generating a take-off strip for printing on a sheet of material along with an image, comprising:
- obtaining a color profile of the image;
- determining a complementary color profile to the color profile of the image;
- and
- generating a take-off strip embodying the complementary color profile.
One or more computer readable storage mediums tangibly embodying program instructions which, when executed by a computer, implement a method for adaptively generating a take-off strip for printing on a sheet of material along with an image, the method comprising:
- obtaining a color profile of the image;
- determining a complementary color profile to the color profile of the image;
- and
- generating a take-off strip embodying the complementary color profile.
A system for adaptively generating a take-off strip for printing on a sheet of material along with an image, comprising:
- one or more processors configured to obtain a color profile of the image, determine a complementary color profile to the color profile of the image, and generate a take-off strip embodying the complementary color profile.
