2.2.8.1 Overview of the Colorimetric Calibration

 Purpose

Measuring the color of the ink discharge amount information and registering/controlling this information improves calibration accuracy and ensures consistent color quality.

As color measurement is performed with the fully assembled product, the electrical characteristics which are unique to each Main/ Power Boar d are al so compensa ted in a ddition to the Printhead.

To reduce unit-to-unit and mode-to-mode variations in color.

 

To improve the accuracy of the Ink Counter. The Color ID can improve the Ink Counter accuracy, which reduces the running cost of ink.

 Colorimetric Calibration Technology



The Principle The ink discharge amount characteristic of a printer is measured by measuring color difference (L*a*b*) of a printed chart with a calibrator. Created Color ID information based on the ob tained L*a*b* values is stored on the printer. When printing, the printer sends the Color ID to the printer driver to compensate the number of ink droplets (dot generation rate) for each of nine printers to provide consistent print quality reduc ing unit-to-unit variation. Example: Compensation of ink amount ejected from a Printhead (dot generation rate)

• When the standard printer generates ten dots. If the ink discharge amount is insufficient by 10%, this is compensated by generating 11 dots.

Note"*1":Three different sized droplets (small, medium, la rge ) for ea ch of three waveforms (VSD1, 2, 3)



Head ID In the conventional color calibration with a Head ID, the printhead characteristics (weight of discharged ink) are measured and compensated. The following shows the correlation between conventional Head ID adjustment and Colorimetric Calibration.

different sized droplets of each color. This method allows mass-produced

Table 2-3. The Difference in Calibration Method be tween Head ID and Colorimetric Calibration

Conventional Head ID adjustment Colorimetric Calibratio n

In the printhead manufacturing process, ink discharge amount of each head is actually measured to get individual characteristic information. The information is stored on the printer as Head ID to control the printhead.



Before performing Colorimetric Calibration, the conventional Head ID must be pre-

registered. This is be cause the Head ID contain s information to create a waveform to drive the head, which is also required for the Colorimetric Calibration.



If you do not perform Colorimetric Calibration after performing Head ID adjustment, the printer will be controlled only by the Head ID, which affects the following.

• Ink Counter The ink consumption counter table switches fro m the table for Color ID to the one for Head ID. This change causes an i nk out error to occur 2 t o 5 percent earl ier than when using the table for Color ID. This varies depending on the print mode (dot type).

• Color quality Color quality will be at the same level as that of printers adjusted by the conventional Head ID, and the same color quality as mass-produced printers cannot be maintained.

 Supplement: Regarding remaining ink amount

When the Ink Counter dete cts ink out, a certain amount (safety margin) of ink is still remaining in the cartridge to prevent the printhead from damages caused by printing without ink. This safety margin is important especially f or a printer th at discharges larger amou nt of ink. The figure below illustra tes the concept of this safety margin.
