Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems and methods are provided for compensating for streak defects in images formed by an image forming device, such as a digital printer. The systems and methods include using both modulation of a raster output scanner (ROS actuation) and spatially varying tone reproduction curve (STRC actuation) in a common control system for improving streak correction. Low spatial frequency large amplitude streak defects are corrected using ROS actuation and high spatial frequency streak defects, as well as any residual low frequency defects, are corrected using STRC actuation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for compensating for streak defects in images formed by a digital printer having a photoreceptor and a raster output scanner (ROS) device comprising: generating test images on the photoreceptor; sensing the cross-process reflectance of the test images on the photoreceptor; generating reflectance profile data of the test images using the sensed cross-process reflectance; generating low spatial frequency reflectance profile data by low-pas…
