Abstract
A method for calibrating specialty toner, the method includes providing a substrate; depositing an invariant or substantially invariant laydown of a color toner on the substrate; depositing a varying laydown of the specialty toner; fusing the color toner and specialty toner to the substrate; measuring a color response signal of the substrate, color toner, and specialty toner; calculating a color response curve as function of the varying laydown of the specialty toner; comparing the color response curve to a target color response curve; and modifying printing parameters of the specialty toner to set the color response curve equal to or substantially equal to the target color response curve.
Claims11
A method for calibrating specialty toner, the method comprising:
- providing a substrate;
- depositing an invariant or substantially invariant laydown of a color toner on the substrate;
- depositing a varying laydown of the specialty toner;
- wherein the color toner is a complementary color of a primary component of the color of the specialty toner;
- fusing the color toner and specialty toner to the substrate;
- measuring a color response signal of the substrate, color toner, and specialty toner;
- calculating a color response curve as function of the varying laydown of the specialty toner;
- comparing the color response curve to a target color response curve;
- and
- modifying printing parameters of the specialty toner to set the color response curve equal to or substantially equal to the target color response curve.
