At this point, each aspect of the graph can be individually modified in some way. Choices governing color, tone, texture, grid display, cell spacing, row and column orientation, label dimension and orientations, character fonts, and other items may be approached by the preset options or the custom route. Preset options are coordinated schemes which generally display the graph well; however, the...

This technical note describes a detailed study on wax printing, a simple and inexpensive method for fabricating microfluidic devices in paper using a commercially available printer and hot plate. The printer prints patterns of solid wax on the surface of the paper, and the hot plate melts the wax so that it penetrates the full thickness of the paper. This process creates complete hydrophobic ba...

Two ICC profi les were generated from an Epson ink jet printer under two printer conditions, default and 0% dot gain. Color matching experiments were performed by means of the “B-to-A” analysis with a set of CIELAB values which are reproducible by the ink jet printer. CIE-based color difference, CIEDE2000, between the initial LAB values and its derived values was analyzed and compared between t...

Printer identification based on printed documents can provide forensic information to protect copyright and verify authenticity. In addition to intrinsic features (intrinsic signatures) of the printer, modulating the printing process to embed specific signature (extrinsic signatures) will further extend the encoding capacity. In this paper we describe the use of laser modulation in electrophoto...

DECprint Printing Services software controls a variety of printer features for a wide range of printers. It supports several different page description languages, handles multiple media simultaneously, and uses different I/O interconnections and communication protocols. Operating within the VMS printing environment, it implements a large number of user-specified options to the PRINT command. DE...

Currently, it is difficult to translate various types of image contained in print books into Braille. Furthermore, ones that have been expressed in Braille are not easily recognized by the visually impaired. The objective of this study is to develop a 3D model using a 3D printer to convert images in print books into three dimensions. Text and graphic areas in print books are isolated to extract...
