Abstract
A method enables an inkjet printing system to attenuate image noise in an image of a test strip obtained as print media bearing the test strip travels over a roller in the printing system. The method includes illuminating blank media as the media travels over a rotating member, generating electrical signals corresponding to light reflected by the blank media as the blank media travels over the rotating member, converting the electrical signals to image data of the blank media, printing a test strip on media, illuminating the media as the media on which the test strip is printed travels over the rotating member, generating electrical signals corresponding to light reflected by the media as the media on which the test strip is printed travels over the rotating member, converting the electrical signals to image data of the media on which the test strip is printed, modifying the image data of the media on which the test strip is printed with the image data of the blank media, and storing the modified image data in memory.
