System and methods for calibrating a printing process

摘要

The system and methods described herein relate to calibrating an electrophotographic (EP) printing process. Calibration patches are monitored before and after transfer and cleaning functions to provide information useful in adjusting an EP process to improve overall print quality. Benefits of the described system and methods include the use of pre-existing hardware currently in use on most EP printing devices to provide improved calibration information that permits accurate control over an EP printing process.
