Patent ID: 8243327

Claim:
A method for forming a basic template, comprising: (a) adjusting lines per inch of a testing template; (b) printing the testing template utilizing an outputting device to generate a first printing result; (c) determining if a gray level of the first printing result matches a first specific gray level; (d) when the gray level of the first printing result does not match the first specific gray level, adjusting a setting of lines per inch in step (a) according to the first printing result and repeating steps (b) and (c); (e) when the gray level of the first printing result matches the first specific gray level, selecting the testing template as a first basic template; (f) adjusting a minimum pattern of the first basic template to generate an adjusted first basic template; (g) printing the adjusted first basic template utilizing the outputting device to generate a second printing result; (h) determining the minimum pattern not exceeding printing ability of the outputting device to ensure that no carbon powder drops when the outputting device prints by determining if a gray level of the second printing result matches a second specific gray level; (i) when the gray level of the second printing result does not match the second specific gray level, adjusting a setting of the minimum pattern in step (f) according to the second printing result and repeating steps (g) and (h); (j) when the gray level of the second printing result matches the second specific gray level, selecting the adjusted first basic template as a second basic template; and (k) adding compensation to the second basic template to make output color points thicker.
