IMAGE FORMING DEVICE, METHOD FOR IMAGE CONTROL AND NON-TERMINAL COMPUTER-READABLE DATA MEDIA Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC B41J2/355 

FIELD: forming images devices.

SUBSTANCE: inventions group relates to the field of devices for forming images. The images forming device includes a print head configured to add energy to an image material; and control means for outputting, based on the image data, a signal pattern for controlling energy to be added by the print head to the image material, including a plurality of color development layers that differ in color development characteristics and develop colors in accordance with the added energy, wherein, when providing color development by at least two of the plurality of color development layers, the control means generates, based on at least two signal patterns generated to provide color development by at least two color development layers, an OR signal pattern on at least two signal templates and outputs the signal template.

EFFECT: ability to reduce the time required to print a multi-layered color image, thereby increasing printing efficiency.
