20120229863 | IDLE COLOR SEPARATION ALGORITHM - An algorithm to control a printer wherein the separation set that is created for each print job is stored and managed in a storage unit within either the printer of the device that transmits the print job to the printer. The stored image separations are ranked or prioritized based on the frequency with which a particular job is printed. When the printer goes into an idle mode, such as between print jobs, the algorithm executes a re-separation or recalculates of each of the stored separation sets in descending order of the popularity of the separation set. The recalculation then accounts for changes or updates in the printing conditions thereby making it likely that the most popular separation set has been refreshed with current density compensation data. | 09-13-2012 |
