Zusammenfassung: | A printing system includes at least one linehead that jets ink onto a print media and an integrated imaging system that captures images of the content printed on the print media. Each linehead includes one or more printheads. A flat field correction method for the printing system includes one or more printheads printing a test block having a known print density on the print media and producing a density variation trace for each of the one or more printheads by capturing an image of each printed test block and averaging pixel data in a transport direction. A negative print mask is then produced for each printhead in the one or more printheads by inverting each density variation trace. Each negative print mask is added to, or subtracted from, respective print data values transmitted to each respective printhead in the one or more printheads. |
