System and method to compensate streaks using a spatially varying printer model and run time updates

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for compensating for streak defects in images formed by an image forming device, such as a digital printer. The methods include using a spatially varying printer model and run time updates to generate spatially varying tone reproduction curves (STRC actuation) in an iterative control system for improving streak correction in a digital printing machine. Streaks are rapidly learned and eliminated at cycle-up and tracked and eliminated during print run time using STRC actuation.
