Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods are disclosed for determining an operational range of colorant densities and heating powers that result in successful drying for a print media that is based on a drying quality of test images printed by a printing system. One embodiment comprises a printing system that applies colorant onto a continuous-form medium and applies heat to the medium based on a heating power. The printing system prints a plurality of test images onto the medium, where one or more of a colorant density and a heating power vary for each of the printed test images. The printing system determines a drying quality for the printed test images, and calculates an operational range of colorant densities and heating powers for the medium based on the drying quality of the printed test images.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. An apparatus comprising: a control system implemented in a printing system, wherein the printing system includes a print engine that is operable to apply colorant onto a continuous-form medium, and further includes a radiant dryer that is operable to apply heat to the medium based on a heating power; the control system is operable to direct the print engine to print a plurality of test images onto the medium, and to vary at least one of the heating power and a color…
