US Patent 11368592 Defective nozzle compensation mechanism

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 transfer function for each of a plurality of pel forming elements, generate a missing neighbor corrected transfer function for each of the pel forming elements, generate a missing neighbor transfer function based on the uniformity compensated transfer functions and the missing neighbor corrected transfer function and compute an average of the missing neighbor transfer functions to generate an average missing neighbor transfer function.
