Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided herein for texture printing. A system comprises a rasterizer configured to convert an input image with texture information to color data and texture attribute plane data, the rasterizer is configured to set the change bit of pixel n to zero when the texture information associated with pixel n is the same as pixel n−1. The system further comprises a data compressor, a memory device, a data decompressor, a color converter and a halftoner configured to convert the color data to color halftone data, and a texture data generator configured to combine the texture attribute plane data decompressed by the data decompressor and the color halftone data from the halftoner to generate output ink data for a printer engine to print the input image with texture.
