Abstract:
1. A method comprising steps of: (A) identifying a density of a pixel in a digital image, the density including: (1) a first color component associated with a first printing subinterval of a printing line time and having a first value, and (2) a second color component associated with a second printing subinterval of the printing line time and having a second value, said first color being different than said second color; (B) identifying a first print head element temperature; (C) identifying a first energy computation function associated with the first color component; (D) identifying a first input energy using the first energy computation function based on the first value and the first print head element temperature; (E) identifying a second print head element temperature; (F) identifying a second energy computation function associated with the second color component; and (G) identifying a second input energy using the second energy computation function based on the second value and the second print head element temperature.
