Abstract:
A method for generating a calibration product for an image producing device, the image producing device having a plurality of toner stations and a transfer medium, each toner station being configured to deposit an associated toner onto the transfer medium to thereby generate the calibration product, comprising:depositing a first toner from a first toner station onto the transfer medium while moving the transfer medium from a first position relative to the plurality of toner stations to a second position; depositing a second toner from a second toner station onto the transfer medium while continuing to deposit the first toner onto the transfer medium while moving the transfer medium from the second position to a third position; and selecting the first toner to be applied to the transfer medium as a function of a length of a portion of the calibration product to be defined by the first toner and the distance between the first toner station and the second toner station.
