Epson inkjet printers
=====================

   The `model_capabilities' vector in `print-escp2.c' contains one
entry for each defined printer model.  The `model' parameter in
`printers.xml' is an index into this table.

   In general, the new printers have fewer eccentricities than the older
printers.  That doesn't mean they're simpler, just that they're more
consistent.

   An `escp2_printer_t' is a C struct defined as follows:

 - Data type:  escp2_printer_t
          typedef struct escp2_printer
          {
            model_cap_t	flags;		/* Bitmask of flags, see below */

   The printer definition block is divided into 8 sections.  The first
section is a set of miscellaneous printer options.  These are described
in the code, and will not be discussed further here.

   The second section describes the number of nozzles and the separation
between nozzles in base units.  The base unit is 1/360" for all
currently supported printers, but future printers may support a smaller
base unit.

   Many printers have more black nozzles than nozzles of other colors,
and when used in black and white mode, it's possible to use these extra
nozzles, which speeds up printing.  As an example, a printer that is
specified to have 48 cyan, magenta, and yellow nozzles, and 144 black
nozzles, can use all 144 black nozzles when printing black ink only.
When printing in color, only 48 nozzles of each color (including black)
can be used.

   Most printers can print using either the number of nozzles available
or any smaller number.  Some printers require that all of the nozzles
be used.  Those printers will set `min_nozzles' and/or
`min_black_nozzles' to the same value as `nozzles' and/or
`black_nozzles'.

   The third section defines basic units of measure for the printer,
including the standard separation between dots, the base nozzle
separation, and the minimum and maximum printing resolutions the
printer supports.  Most of these are fairly self-explanatory, but some
are not obvious.

   Most Epson printers, other than the high-end Stylus Pro models,
cannot print dots spaced more closely than 1/360" or 1/720" apart (this
is the setting for `xres'.  This is true even for printers that support
resolutions of 1440 or 2880 DPI.  In these cases, the data must be
printed in 2, 4, or 8 passes.  While the printer can position the head
to a resolution of 1/1440" or 1/2880", the head cannot deposit ink that
frequently.

   Some printers can only print in their very best quality (using the
smallest dots available) printing at a lower resolution.  For example,
the Stylus Photo EX can normally print with a dot spacing of 1/720".
The smallest dot size cannot be printed with a dot spacing of less than
1/360", however.  In this case, we use `enhanced_xres' to specify the
resolution to be used in this enhanced mode, and `enhanced_resolution'
to specify the printing resolution above which we use the
`enhanced_xres'.

   The `resolution_scale' command is used to specify scaling factors
for the dot separation on newer printers.  It should always be 14400
with current printers.

   The fourth section specifies the minimum and maximum paper sizes, and
the margins.  Some printers allow use of narrower margins when
softweave is used; both sets of margins are specified.

   There is a convenient `INCH' macro defined to make specification of
the `max_paper_width' and `max_paper_height' more legible.  It
multiplies 72 by the provided expression to get the appropriate number
of points.  For example, to specify 8.5", `INCH(17/2)' expands to `(72
* 17/2)', which is evaluated left to right, and hence generates the
correct value.

   The fifth section specifies some miscellaneous values that are
required for certain printers.  For most printers, the correct values
are 1 for `separation_rows' and 0 for the others.  Very, very few
printers require (or allow) `separation_rows' to be anything but 1 and
`pseudo_separation_rows' other than zero.  The Stylus Color 1520,
Stylus Color 800, Stylus Color 850, and (strangely enough to my mind,
since it's a new printer) Stylus Color 660 seem to be the only
exceptions.

   The `zero_margin_offset' is used to specify an additional negative
horizontal offset required to print to the edges of the paper on newer
Stylus Photo printers.  These must be determined empirically; good
starting values are 100 for 1440 DPI and 50 for 2880 DPI printers.  The
goal is to print to the edge of the page, but not over it.

   The sixth section specifies head offsets for printers that do not
have the color jets aligned.  Certain printers, such as the Stylus Color
480, have an unusual head arrangement whereby instead of all of the
colors being aligned vertically, the nozzles are configured in groups.
These printers are easy to determine; if the normal head offset of zero
for each color is used, the printing will be vertically out of
alignment.  Most of these printers require specification of a negative
offset for printing to the top edge of the paper; typically these
printers do not require such an offset when printing black only.

   The seventh section specifies the most difficult values to tune, the
dot sizes, printing densities, and ink values (for variable dot size
enabled printers).  These will be described in detail below.

   The last section specifies luminosity, hue, and saturation adjustment
vectors for the printer, and the paper definitions.  These are used to
adjust the color in Photograph and Solid Colors output modes.  These are
each vectors of 48 (actually 49, as the first value must be duplicated)
doubles that remap the luminosity, hue, and saturation respectively.
The hue is calculated, and the value used to interpolate between the two
closest points in each vector.

   The paper definitions is a set of paper definitions.  The paper
definition contains the name of the paper type, special settings that
are required for printers to process the paper correctly, and a set of
adjustment values.  These are not currently discussed here.

   The lists of dot sizes and densities contain values for 13 printing
modes: 120/180 DPI using printer weaving (single row; referred to as
"interleave") and "soft" weaving (the driver determines the exact
pattern of dot layout), 360 DPI interleave and softweave, 720x360 DPI
interleave and softweave, 720 DPI interleave and softweave, 1440x720
interleave and softweave, 2880x720 interleave and softweave, and
2880x1440 softweave only.

   For the dot sizes, the value for each element in the vector selects
the dot size to be used when printing at this (or similar) resolution.
The dot sizes are determined by consulting the programming manual for
the printer and experimenting as described below.  Current Epson
printers always use dot sizes less than `16', or `0x10', to indicate
single dot size (each dot is represented by 1 bit, and it's either
printed or not), and dot sizes of `16' or greater to indicate variable
dot size (each dot is represented by 2 bits, and it can either be not
printed or take on 2 or 3 values, representing the relative size of the
printed dot).  Variable dot sizes permit the use of very small dots
(which would be too small to fill the page and produce solid black) in
light areas, while allowing the page to be filled with larger dots in
darker areas.

   Even single dot size printers can usually produce dots of different
sizes; it's just illegal to actually try to switch dot size during a
page.  These dots are also much bigger than those used in true variable
dot size printing.

   A dot size of `-1' indicates that this resolution is illegal for the
printer in question.  Any resolutions that would use this dot size will
not be presented to the user.  A dot size of `-2' indicates that this
resolution is legal, but that the driver is not to attempt to set any
dot size.  Some very old printers do not support the command to set the
dot size.

   Most printers support a dot size of `0' as a mode-specific default,
but it's often a bigger dot than necessary.  Printers usually also
support some dot sizes between `1' and `3'.  Usually `1' is the right
dot size for 720 and 1440 dpi printing, and `3' works best at 360 dpi.

   Variable dot size printers usually support 2 or 3 sets of variable
dot sizes.  Older printers based on a 6 picolitre drop (the 480, 720,
740, 750, 900, and 1200) support two: mode 16 (0x10 in hexadecimal) for
normal variable dots at 1440 or 720 dpi, and mode 17 (0x10) for special
larger dots at 360 dpi.  Newer printers based on 4 picolitre drops
normally support three sizes: `0x10' for 4 pl base drops, `0x11' for 6
pl base drops, and `0x12' for special large drops.  On these printers,
`0x10' usually works best at 1440x720 and `0x11' works best at 720x720.
Unfortunately, `0x10' doesn't seem to generate quite enough density at
720x720, because if it did the output would be very smooth.  Perhaps
it's possible to tweak things....

   The list of densities is a list of base density values for all of the
above listed modes.  "Density" refers to the amount of ink deposited
when a solid color (or solid black) is printed.  So if the density is
`.5', solid black actually prints only half the possible dots.  "Base
density" refers to the fact that the density value can be scaled in the
GUI or on the Ghostscript command line.  The density value specified
(which is not made visible to the user) is multiplied by the base
density to obtain the effective density value.  All other things (such
as ink drop size) remaining the same, doubling the resolution requires
halving the base density.  The base density in the density vector may
exceed `1', as many paper types require lower density than the base
driver.  The driver ensures that the actual density never exceeds 1.

   Tuning the density should be done on high quality paper (usually
glossy photo paper).  The goal is to find the lowest density value that
results in solid black (no visible gaps under a fairly high power
magnifying glass or loupe).  If an appropriate density value is found
for 720 DPI, it could be divided by 2 for 1440x720, by 4 for 2880x720,
and by 8 for 2880x1440.

   However, for printers that offer a choice of dot size, this may not
be the best strategy.  The best choice for dot size is the smallest dot
size that allows choosing a density value not greater than 1 that gives
full coverage.  This dot size may be different for different
resolutions.  Tuning variable dot size printers is more complicated;
the process is described below.

   The last member is a pointer to a structure containing a list of ink
values for variable dot size (or 6 color) inks.  We model variable dot
size inks as producing a certain "value" of ink for each available dot
size, where the largest dot size has a value of 1.  6-color inks are
handled similarly; the light cyan and light magenta inks are treated as
a fractional ink value.  The combination of variable dot size and 6
color inks, of course, just creates that many more different ink
choices.

   This structure is actually rather complicated; it contains entries
for each combination of physical printer resolution (180, 360, 720, and
1440 dpi), ink colors (4, 6, and 7), and single and variable dot sizes
(since some printer modes can't handle variable dot size inks).  Since
there's so much data, it's actually a somewhat deeply nested structure:

   An `escp2_printer_t' contains a pointer (essentially, a reference
rather than a copy) to an `escp2_variable_inklist_t'.

   An `escp2_variable_inklist_t' contains pointers to
`escp2_variable_inkset_t' structures.  There is one such pointer for
each combination of resolution, dot type, and ink colors as described
above.  Yes, this is rather inflexible.

   An `escp2_variable_inkset_t' contains pointers to
`escp2_variable_ink_t' structures.  There is one such pointer for each
of the four colors (C, M, Y, and K).

   An `escp2_variable_ink_t' contains a pointer to the actual list of
ink values (`simple_dither_range_t'), the number of ink values, and a
density value to be used for computing the transitions.  This density
value is actually a scaling value; it is multiplied by the effective
density to compute the density to be used for computing the transitions.
Normally, this value is `1', but in some cases it may be possible to
get smoother results with a different value (in particular, the single
dot size 6-color inks work best with the effective density scaled to
`.75' for this purpose).  A lower density lowers the transition points,
which results in more ink being deposited.

   A `simple_dither_range_t' is a structure containing four values:

  1. The value of the particular ink

  2. The bit pattern used to represent the ink

  3. Whether the ink is light (0) or dark (1), for inks with light and
     dark variants

  4. The relative amount of ink actually deposited by this dot (not
     currently used for much; it can be used for ink reduction
     purposes, to reduce the amount of ink deposited on the paper).

   These things are interesting as arrays.  From an array of
`simple_dither_range_t''s, the dither code computes transition values
that it looks up at run time to decide what ink to print, as well as
whether to print at all.

   *Really* confused now?  Yup.  You'll probably find it easier to
simply read the code.

Tuning the printer
==================

   Now, how do you use all this to tune a printer?  There are a number
of ways to do it; this one is my personal favorite.

   There's a file named `cyan-sweep.tif'.  This consists of a thin bar
of cyan sweeping from white to almost pure cyan, and from pure cyan to
black.  The first thing to do is to pick the appropriate
`simple_dither_range_t' (or create a whole new
`escp2_variable_inklist_t') and comment out all but the darkest ink
(this means you'll be using the largest dots of dark ink).  At 8.5"
width (the width of a letter-size piece of paper), the bar will be 1/8"
high.  Printing it on wider or narrower paper will change the height
accordingly.  Print it width-wise across a piece of photo quality paper
in line art mode using ordered or adaptive hybrid dither.  Do not use
photographic mode; the colors in photographic mode vary non-linearly
depending upon the presence of the three color components, while in line
art mode the colors are much purer.  Make sure that all the color
adjustments are set to defaults (1.0).  Use the highest quality version
of the print mode you're testing to reduce banding and other artifacts.
This is much easier to do with the Gimp than with Ghostscript.

   At this stage, you want to look for four things:

  1. The black near the center of the line is solid, but not more so
     than that.

  2. The cyan immediately to the left of the black is _almost_ solid.

  3. The dark cyan at the far right of the page is solid, but not more
     so.  You can try tuning the density so that it isn't quite solid,
     then nudging up the density until it is.

  4. Both sweeps sweep smoothly from light to dark.  In particular, the
     dark half of the bar shouldn't visibly change color; it should go
     smoothly from cyan to black.

   Repeat this stage until you have everything just right.  Use the
positioning entry boxes in the dialog to position each bar exactly 1/8"
further down the page.  Adjacent bars will be touching.

   The next step is to uncomment out the second darkest dot size.  If
you're using variable dots, use the second largest dot size of the dark
ink rather than the largest dot size of the light ink.  This will give
you two inks.

   When you recompile the plugin, you simply need to copy the new
executable into the correct place.  You do not need to exit and restart
the Gimp.

   Print another bar adjacent to the first one.  Your goal is to match
the bar using a single dot size as closely as possible.  You'll find
that the dark region of the bar shouldn't change to any great degree,
but the light half probably will.  If the lighter part of the light
half is too dark, you need to increase the value of the smaller dot; if
it's too light, you need to decrease the value.  The reasoning is that
if the value is too low, the ink isn't being given enough credit for
its contribution to the darkness of the ink, and vice versa.  Repeat
until you have a good match.  Make sure you let the ink dry fully,
which will take a few minutes.  Wet ink will look too dark.  Don't look
at the paper too closely; hold it at a distance.  The extra graininess
of the largest dot size will probably make it look lighter than it
should; if you hold it far enough away so that you can't see the dots,
you'll get a more accurate picture of what's going on.

   After you have what looks like a good match, print another bar using
only the largest dot size (or dark ink, for single dot size 6-color
printers).  You want to ensure that the bars touching each other look
identical, or as close as possible to it; your eye won't give you a
good reading if the bars are separated from each other.  You'll
probably have to repeat the procedure.

   The next step is to comment out all but the largest and third-largest
dot size, and repeat the procedure.  When they match, use all three dot
sizes of dark ink.  Again, the goal is to match the single dot size.

   You'll probably find the match is imperfect.  Now you have to figure
out what region isn't right, which takes some experimentation.  Even
small adjustments can make a noticeable difference in what you see.  At
this stage, it's very important to hold the page far enough from your
eye; when you use all three dot sizes, the texture will be much more
even, which sometimes makes it look darker and sometimes lighter.

   After this is calibrated, it's time to calibrate the light ink
against the dark ink.  To do this, comment out all but the large dot
version of the two inks, and repeat the procedure.  This is trickier,
because the hues of the inks might not be quite identical.  Look at the
dark half of the bar as well as the light half to see that the hue
really doesn't change as you sweep from cyan to black.  Sometimes it's
easier to judge that way.  You may find that it looks blotchy, in which
case you should switch from ordered dither to adaptive hybrid.

   After you have the light and dark inks calibrated against each other,
it's time to add everything back in.  Usually you don't want to use the
largest dot size of light ink.  These dots will be much larger than the
small dots of dark ink, but they'll still be lighter.  This will cause
problems when printing mixed colors, since you'll be depositing more
ink on lighter regions of the page, and you'll probably get strange
color casts that you can't get rid of in neutral tones.  I normally use
only the smallest one or two dot sizes of light ink.

   After you've tweaked everything, print the color bar with saturation
set to zero.  This will print neutral tones using color inks.  Your
goal here is to look for neutral tonality.  If you're using a 6-color
printer and get a yellow cast, it means that the values for your light
inks are too high (remember, that means they're getting too much
credit, so you're not depositing enough cyan and magenta ink, and the
yellow dominates).  If you get a bluish or bluish-purple cast, your
light inks are too low (you're not giving them enough credit, so too
much cyan and magenta is deposited, which overwhelms the yellow).  Make
sure you do this on very white, very high grade inkjet paper that's
designed for 1440x720 dpi or higher; otherwise the ink will spread on
contact and you'll get values that aren't really true for high grade
paper.  You can, of course, calibrate for low grade paper if that's
what you're going to use, but that shouldn't be put into the
distribution.

   You can also fully desaturate this bar inside the Gimp and print it
as monochrome (don't print the cyan as monochrome; the driver does funny
things with luminance), for comparison.  You'll find it very hard to
get rid of all color casts.

   There are other ways of tuning printers, but this one works pretty
well for me.


File: gimpprint.info,  Node: Canon inkjet printers,  Prev: Tuning Epson printers,  Up: New Printer

Canon inkjet printers
=====================

   Basically, a new Canon printer can be added to `print-canon.c' in a
similar way as described above for the epson inkjet printers. The main
differences are noted here:

   In general, Canon printers have more "built-in intelligence" than
Epson printers which results in the fact that the driver only has to
tell the printing conditions like resolutions, dot sizes, etc. to the
printer and afterwards transfer the raster data line by line for each
color used.

   `canon_cap_t' is a C struct defined as follows:

 - Data type:  canon_cap_t
          typedef struct canon_caps {
            int model;          /* model number as used in printers.xml */
            int max_width;      /* maximum printable paper size */
            int max_height;
            int base_res;       /* base resolution - shall be 150 or 180 */

            int border_left;    /* left margin, points */
            int border_right;   /* right margin, points */
            int border_top;     /* absolute top margin, points */

          } canon_cap_t;

   Since there are Canon printers which print in resolutions of 2^n*150
dpi (e.g. 300, 600, 1200) and others which support resolutions of
2^n*180 dpi (e.g. 360, 720, 1440), there's a base resolution (150 or
180, respectively) given in the `canon_cap_t'. The structs
`canon_dot_size_t', `canon_densities_t' and `canon_variable_inklist_t'
refer to resolutions being multiples of the base resolution.

   For the Canon driver, the struct `canon_dot_size_t' holds values for
a model's capabilities at a given resolution: `-1' if the resolution is
not supported.  `0' if it can be used and `1' if the resolution can be
used for variable dot size printing.

   In `canon_densities_t' the base densities for each resolution can be
specified like for an epson printer, the same holds true for
`canon_variable_inklist_t'.  See the descriptions above to learn about
how to adjust your model's output to yield nice results.

   There's a slight difference though in the way the Canon driver and
the escp2 driver define their variable inklists: In the Canon driver,
you need to define an inklist like this:

     static const canon_variable_inklist_t canon_ink_myinks[] =
     {
       {
         1,4, /* 1bit/pixel, 4 colors */
         &ci_CMYK_1, &ci_CMYK_1, &ci_CMYK_1,
         &ci_CMYK_1, &ci_CMYK_1, &ci_CMYK_1,
       },
       {
         3,4, /* 3bit/pixel, 4 colors */
         &ci_CMYK_3, &ci_CMYK_3, &ci_CMYK_3,
         &ci_CMYK_3, &ci_CMYK_3, &ci_CMYK_3,
       },
     };

where the `&ci_CMYK_1' and `&ci_CMYK_3' entries are references to a
previously defined const of type `canon_variable_inkset_t'.
