With a total of three patents to his name, Mitchell's work focuses on optimizing print jobs for enhanced efficiency and quality.
Latest Patents
Mitchell's latest patents include innovative apparatus and methods for image processing optimization for variable data printing. One of his key inventions involves providing a pre-rasterized print job for variable data printing. In this embodiment, a set of printer characteristics is determined and transferred to a typesetting system. The typesetting system then pre-rasterizes objects of the print job based on the received printer characteristics. A pre-rasterized print job, which includes the pre-rasterized objects and print layout instructions, is generated in the form of a PostScript file. This file is subsequently transferred to a raster image processor (RIP) for the generation of printed output. Additionally, a printer characterization file can be executed on a printing system to determine the set of printer characteristics, which may include native resolution, rotation angle, compression data, and other relevant information.
