METHOD OF DATA PROCESSING, DEVICE OF DATA PROCESSING, METHOD OF MASK GENERATION AND MASK TEMPLATE Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC B41J2/01 

FIELD: technological processes; printing industry.

SUBSTANCE: method of mask templates generation, used for generation of image data for printing of multiple types of points by means of scanning, is characterised by the fact that location of printing-permitting pixels is determined in every of multiple mask templates that correspond to multiple types of points, for that purpose location of printing-permitting points is determined, so that low frequency components, which are determined by location of printing-permitting pixels in every of multiple mask templates, are reduced in multiple mask templates. Method of data processing contains stage, at which image data is generated, which provides printing of multiple point types by means of corresponding multiple scanning, using mask template. Device of data processing, which contains facility for generation of image data, provides printing of multiple point types by means of corresponding multiple scanning, using mask template. For generation of image data for printing of multiple point types by means of corresponding scanning multiple mask templates are used, at that when at least two of multiple mask templates are superimposed one above each other, template of printing-permitting pixels from imposed mask templates has less low frequency components compared to the template produced by imposition of at least two mask templates, at which they substitute each other. Invention is produced as a result of deposition caused by grains, which may be formed during separate printing, and also elimination of problems caused by formation of such grains.

EFFECT: higher image quality.
