Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An example system includes a controller. The controller is to determine a first end point of a previous frame in a first image. The first image is to be printed on a first ribbon. The controller is to determine a second end point of the previous frame in a second image to be printed on a second ribbon. The controller is to create a current frame containing first image data from the first image starting after the first end point, second image data from the second image starting after the second end point, and third image data from a beginning of the first image. The system includes an image engine to form an image corresponding to the current frame on a medium.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A system comprising: a controller to: determine a first end point of a previous frame in a first image, the first image to be printed on a first ribbon, determine a second end point of the previous frame in a second image to be printed on a second ribbon, and create a current frame containing first image data from the first image starting after the first end point, second image data from the second image starting after the second end point, and third image data from a beginning of the first image; and an image engine to form an image corresponding to the current frame on a medium. 2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is to store a copy of the first image and a copy of the second image, and wherein the controller is to create the current frame by copying the first image data, the second image data, and the third image data from the copy of the first image and the copy of the second image. 3. The system of claim 1 , wherein a first length of the first image differs from a second length of the second image, and wherein a least common multiple of the first length and the second length is significantly greater than the first length and the second length. 4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is to select a frame size based on a second length of the second image. 5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is to include an empty boundary in the current frame between the first image data and the third image data.
