    摘要: A pattern of non-contiguous features that can be imaged in one pass of a multi-channel imaging head is divided into sets of the non-contiguous features. Each set of the non-contiguous features is imaged separately during a single scan of the multi-channel imaging head. The pattern can be completely imaged after all of the sets have been separately imaged. The non-contiguous features of one set may be interleaved with the non-contiguous features of another one of the sets.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus are described for removing donor sheets from substrates. A take-up roller contacts the donor element at or near an edge thereof and a peel roller contacts the donor element at a location spaced apart from the edge. A securing mechanism secures the edge of the donor element to the take-up roller which is then moved away from the substrate. While maintaining the peel roller in contact with the donor element, the take-up roller is rotated to take up the donor element while the peel roller and take-up roller are both simultaneously moved in a direction tangential to the substrate. In this manner, the donor element is peeled from the surface of the substrate.

    摘要: Methods for imaging regular patterns are provided. A multi-channel imaging head is configured in accordance with the repeat of a pre-determined regular pattern such that no swath boundaries appear within the visibly imaged features of the pattern. The imaged articles have reduced visible banding due to the elimination of swath boundaries in the imaged features.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for determining the alignment of printing plate mounted on an imaging drum, and applying an image to a printing plate while maintaining registration and alignment between the image and a reference edge of the printing plate include mounting the printing plate on a plate making machine and then determining the locations of at least one point on the reference edge. The locations of two or more points are used to determine a transformation that is applied to image data to yield transformed image data. The transformed image data is used to image the printing plate.

    摘要: A method and system for constructing a color gamut allows the determination of the boundaries of the color gamut in color space for a color reproduction system having N-colorants. A forward model characterizing the color reproduction system is established and used to map a plurality of inkvectors from colorant space into color space. The color gamut is constructed by determining which of the mapped inkvectors define the boundaries of the color gamut in color space.

    摘要: A positive-working radiation-sensitive composition for use with a radiation source comprises one or more polymers capable of being eluted in an alkaline aqueous solution and a development-enhancing compound. The invention provides a positive-working photosensitive composition of good sensitivity for use with one or both of ultra-violet radiation and an infrared laser radiation source. The composition is stable in its state before exposure and has an excellent handling property. The sensitivity of a radiation-sensitive coating based on the composition of this invention is increased without compromising the handling characteristics. Radiation-sensitive elements based on the composition of the invention have good development latitude. A positive-working lithographic printing precursor is based on the radiation-sensitive composition coated on a hydrophilic surface. The precursor is developable using an alkaline aqueous solution, and may be used with a radiation source in lithographic applications, such as conventional imaging systems, computer-to-plate systems or other direct imaging applications. The precursor is stable in its state before exposure and has an excellent handling property.

    摘要: The present invention provides for a method and system for reducing the storage required for transmitting digital images. The reduction is accomplished by coalescing identical pixels that are adjacent to each other. Accordingly, a determination is made as to whether pixels along a first axis are identical with pixels along a second axis and, if they are identical, they are coalesced together. The process is repeated along a second axis such that an image resulting from the reduction is significantly smaller, especially if the image was originally upsampled. The present invention reverses the upsampling process to create a reduced image. Additionally, the present invention allows for differentiation between upsampled contone data and linework data that may be overlaid over upsampled contone data. Image data that is linework data is treated as wild card pixels in the image and may be coalesced with any adjacent pixel when coalescing adjacent pixels.

    摘要: A method of screening a continuous tone image into a halftone representation for a flexographic printing operation can compensate for characteristic printing problems in highlight areas by selectively placing non-printing dots proximate highlight dots. The non-printing dots raise the printing relief floor in the highlight areas providing additional support for marginally printable image features.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are provided which include providing a rotatable roller with a cylindrical surface adapted to wrap the donor element on the surface. A donor element is secured to the roller and a first portion of the donor element is wrapped onto the cylindrical surface while applying tension to the media. The tension is then decreased to alter a region of contact between the first portion of the donor element and the cylindrical surface. An additional portion of the donor element is then wrapped onto the cylindrical surface. The donor element is then transferred from the roller to a substrate.
