Title: Yoichi Sakamoto: Innovator in Print Control Technology

Introduction

Yoichi Sakamoto is a prominent inventor based in Tokyo, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of print control technology, holding a total of 12 patents. His work focuses on improving printing efficiency and image correction methods.

Latest Patents

Sakamoto's latest patents include a print control apparatus, print control method, program, and storage medium designed to correct images in a band buffer based on the amount of correction. This innovative technology allows for printing using a minimum of band buffer while correcting bending and inclination in a sub-scanning direction. Notably, it achieves this without requiring optical adjustments or special hardware. The process involves storing 1-band image data in the band buffer, correcting the images stored there, and managing images that lie outside the band area through an intermediate buffer. The final output includes both the corrected images and those from the next band that lie within the band area.
