Abstract

A method for image processing by adjusting heating time includes providing a first heating table corresponding to a relationship between a first color density and a first heating time and a second heating table corresponding to a relationship between a color degree and a second heating time based on a printing parameter. The method further comprises providing a function corresponding to a relationship between a second color density and the color degree based on the first heating table and the second heating table, wherein the second heating time has a one-to-one relationship with the color degree, and the color degree has a one-to-one relationship with the second color density.

Claims (9)

1. An imaging processing method by adjusting heating time comprising:

(a) providing a first heating table corresponding to a relationship between a first color density and a first heating time;

(b) providing a second heating table corresponding to a relationship between a color degree and a second heating time based on a printing parameter;

(c) providing a function corresponding to a relationship between a second color density and the color degree based on the first heating table and the second heating table, wherein the second heating time has a one-to-one relationship with the color degree, and the color degree has a one-to-one relationship with the second color density.

2. The image processing method of claim 1 wherein the printing parameter is brightness.

3. The image processing method of claim 1 wherein the printing parameter is contrast.

4. The image processing method of claim 1 wherein the printing parameter is saturation.

5. The image processing method of claim 1 wherein the printing parameter is density.

6. The image processing method of claim 1 being implemented in a thermal printer.
