METHOD FOR ADJUSTING COLOR TEMPERATURE OF SURFACE LIGHT-EMITTING ILLUMINATION DEVICE AND PRINTING DEVICE FOR PRODUCING SURFACE LIGHT-EMITTING ILLUMINATION DEVICE
The present invention enables the easy correction of the color temperature of a surface light-emitting illumination device. A surface light-emitting illumination device is produced comprising: a light guide plate; a light source that radiates light to the inside of the light guide plate; and a light reflecting plate and/or a light diffusion plate disposed in contact with the light guide plate. The color temperature of the light-emitting surface of the produced surface light-emitting illumination device is measured, and when the measured color temperature is not the necessary color temperature, an ink for coloring the light reflecting plate and/or the light diffusion plate is selected, the selected ink is used to perform coloring printing of the light reflecting plate and/or the light diffusion plate by means of an inkjet printer, and the color temperature of the light-emitting surface of the surface light-emitting illumination device using the coloring printed light reflecting plate and/or light diffusion plate is measured. The coloring printing correction of the light reflecting plate and/or the light diffusion plate is repeated until the measured color temperature of the light-emitting surface of the surface light-emitting illumination device is within an allowed range.

Apparatus and method that reduces streaking by using a deformed data portion to not array dots continuously in the main scan direction of the print head in the end portions of the sub-scan direction
The present invention is intended to prevent appearance of streaks in head scanning direction at the joint of print data of the image to be printed. Print data composed of a multiplicity of dot information is supplied to a printing head having a plurality of dot forming elements arrayed along a sub-scanning direction. The printing head and the printing medium relatively move in main scanning direction and sub-scanning direction each other, and an image is printed on the surface of the printing medium. In the print data supplied by every main scanning action of the printing head, a deformed data portion of concave and convex shapes of waveform are formed, for example, so that dots may not be arrayed in parallel continuously in the main scanning direction of the printing head, at the joint of the ends of the sub-scanning direction. The undulation profile of this waveform is set in an ambiguous state, and the ambiguous state of the profile is not a state of a continuous profile line when the printed profile is observed visually.

The printing head and the printing medium relatively move in main scanning direction and sub-scanning direction each other, and an image is printed on the surface of the printing medium. In the print data supplied by every main scanning action of the printing head, a deformed data portion of concave and convex shapes of waveform are formed, for example, so that dots may not be arrayed parallel continuously in the main scanning direction of the printing head, at the joint of the ends of the sub-scanning direction. The concave and convex shapes at the joint side of the print data, and the concave and convex shapes at the joint side of other print data adjacent to the print data are printed in mutually fitted state.
[PROBLEMS] To prevent a printer from printing an unwanted line in the scanning direction of the head along the joint of the printing data on an image to be printed. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] Printing data including information on a large number of dots is supplied to a print head where dot forming elements are arrayed in the direction of the vertical scanning. The print head and the printing medium are relatively moved in the direction of the horizontal scanning and in the direction of the vertical scanning, respectively. Thus, an image is printed on the surface of the printing medium. The printing data supplied to the print head every horizontal scanning of the print head includes a deformation data part representing, for example, wavy shape so that dots may not be continuously lined along the joint between the ends in the direction of the vertical scanning. The outline of the wavy shape is determined to be in a vague state. This vague state of the printed outline does not look like a continuous outline.
[PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED] A printer is prepared so that no person other than a printer manager can change the setting of its specially conditioned specification. [MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEMS] A printer specification setting method is provided with first software that can be used for the access of information with respect to the setting of a special condition with a printer control unit and second software that is constructed to exchange information only with the first software and is prepared to change the setting of the special condition in cooperation with the first software. The printer specification setting method makes the first and second software start up on a computer and takes special condition setting information of the printer control in the first software. The second software changes the special condition setting information taken by the first software and returns the changed special condition setting information to the first software. The first software writes the changed special condition setting information returned by the second software in the printer control unit. The first software compares a password taken from the printer control unit with a password added to the changed special condition setting information returned by the second software. If the passwords are not identical, the first software cannot be permitted to write the changed special condition setting information in the printer control.
A spectrophotometer includes a plurality of LEDs arranged in a circular array, each having a calibrated power input determined by the use of pulse width modulation and each having a unique wavelength band determined by the utilization of a unique fluorescent phosphor coating or lens. At least one of the LEDs comprising a phosphor-free high energy UV LED. Light reflected to the spectrophotometer is divided into predetermined wavelength ranges through the utilization of a linear variable filter and photo detectors wherein the analog signal from a photo detector is converted to a digital value through the use of auto-ranging gain technique.
The object of the invention is to prevent a line extending in the scan direction of the head at the connection part between two set of print data on an image to be printed. The print data including information on a large number of dots is supplied to the print head where dot-forming elements are arranged in the sub-scanning direction. The print head and a printing medium are moved relatively to each other in the main scanning direction and in the sub-scanning direction, and an image is printed on the surface of the printing medium. The print data supplied each main scanning of the print head includes data to form a deformed data part of, for example, wavy projected/recessed shape along the connection part of the edges in the sub-screening direction in such a way that dots are not continuously arranged in the main scanning direction of the print head. The print data is so printed that the projected/recessed shape of the connection part of a set of print data is fitted into the projected/recessed shape of the connection part of another set of print data adjacent to the former set of the print data.
