US Patent 11539857 Uniformity compensation mechanism using missing neighbor thresholds

A printing system is disclosed. The printing system includes at least one physical memory device to store calibration logic and one or more processors coupled with the at least one physical memory device to execute the calibration logic to generate a uniformity compensated halftone design for each of a plurality of pel forming elements, generate a missing neighbor corrected halftone design for each of the pel forming elements, generate a missing neighbor threshold lowering function for each of the pel forming elements based on the uniformity compensated halftone designs and the missing neighbor corrected halftone design and compute an average of the missing neighbor threshold lowering functions to generate an average missing neighbor threshold lowering function.
