Abstract

See full text

A printing system includes a linehead that includes two adjacent printheads and an integrated imaging system positioned opposite a moving print media for capturing one or more images of content printed on the moving print media in at least a stitch boundary or an overlap region. The integrated imaging system includes an opening in a housing for receiving light reflected from the moving print media; a folded optical assembly in the housing that receives the reflected light and transmits the light a predetermined distance; and an image sensor within the housing that receives the light and captures the one or more images. An image processing device is adapted to determine derivative data of averaged pixel data obtained from the one or more captured images and to detect one or more peaks in the derivative data that represent stitching artifacts.
