摘要: This invention involves to a method for measuring drop-volume in an ink-jet printhead. A series of print samples comprised multiple drops ink are printed on recording media. The number per sample is reduced subsequent produce with varying amounts content. include solid character help contrast the increasingly depleted regions. visually or optically analyzed detect changes optical density among individual samples. From these changes, printhead can be determined. printing system automatically self-analyzing and self-correcting also described.
