Latest Patents

Among his latest patents, one is titled "Repairing a Printed Image." This method describes a process in which a printed image, created using a specific printing template, can be repaired. The method involves identifying a damaged area of the printed image and determining a reprinting segment that overlaps with the damaged area. A layer of printing fluid is then applied over the damaged image, along with a correction printing template that corresponds to the reprinting segment.

Another significant patent is the "Printhead Diagnostic Plot." This invention outlines systems and methods for diagnosing the status of a printhead. The diagnosis is achieved by detecting which nozzles in a first printhead fire ink. A second printhead is used to print a diagnostic plot with visible ink, mapping the nozzles that fire ink in the first printhead. The status of the nozzles is visually identified based on the placement of the visible ink on the diagnostic plot.
