Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Color densities of patches included in a control strip (9) are measured to perform printing control based on the color densities. The patches are arranged in the same direction as the arrangement of ink keys of a printing device. The patches include four typical patches (9K 9C, 9M, 9Y) of black, cyan, magenta, and yellow at area rates of 60 to 85% in the width of each ink key. The printing control is the control for keeping the color densities of the four typical patches (9K 9C, 9M, 9Y) of the width of each ink key in predetermined color-density ranges.

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 15, 2002 and granted November 27, 2012. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 15, 2022.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 15, 2024.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
