Abstract

A custom color profile is generated for a user in response to user input. A print-on-demand (POD) order for published content is received from the user. The POD order is fulfilled in view of the custom color profile for the user.

Claims

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause a system to:

receive a print-on-demand (POD) order for published content for a particular user, the POD order including customized printing instructions to reduce pattern glare, the customized printing instructions being determined based on a response time and accuracy of the user in providing inputs on one or more test interfaces;

retrieve digital content associated with the POD order;

process the digital content in view of the customized printing instructions;

automatically select media upon which the digital content is to be printed in view of the customized printing instructions; and

cause the processed digital content to be printed on the selected media.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1, wherein the customized printing instructions specify at least one of:

text font size;

text font style;

line spacing;

text density;

background color;

or

media type.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1, wherein the customized printing instructions vary by sub-portion of the published content.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1, wherein the instructions cause the system to:

automatically selecting a media size to maintain a fixed page layout for the published content.

5. A system, comprising:

memory resources;

a processor coupled to the memory resources to implement;

an interface to receive a print-on-demand (POD) order for published content for a particular user, the POD order including customized printing instructions to reduce pattern glare, the customized printing instructions being associated with a profile of the user that has been previously generated based on inputs provided by the user on one or more test interfaces, wherein the customized printing instructions are determined based on a response time and accuracy of the user in providing the inputs on the one or more test interfaces;

a content module to retrieve digital content associated with the POD order;

an adjustment module to adjust the digital content in view of the customized printing instructions;

a media selection module to select media upon which the digital content is to be printed in view of the customized printing instructions; and

printer hardware to print the adjusted digital content on the selected media.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the selection module further:

automatically selects a media size to maintain a fixed page layout for the published content.

7. The system of claim 5, wherein the customized printing instructions specify at least one of:

text font size;

text font style;

line spacing;

text density;

background color;

or

media type.

8. The system of claim 5, wherein the customized printing instructions vary by sub-portion of the published content.

9. The system of claim 5, wherein the published content is retrieved from a content provider over a network.

10. The system of claim 5, wherein the one or more test interfaces includes a plurality of repeating characters with a set of digits.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the one or more test interfaces prompts the user to find the set of digits within the plurality of repeating characters and input the set of digits.

12. The system of claim 5, wherein the profile of the user is further based on ambient light detected at a time the inputs were provided by the user on one or more test interfaces.

13. A method for fulfilling a print order, the method being performed by a processor and comprising:

receiving a print-on-demand (POD) order for published content for a particular user, the POD order including customized printing instructions to reduce pattern glare, the customized printing instructions being determined based on a response time and accuracy of the user in providing inputs on one or more test interfaces;

retrieving digital content associated with the POD order;

processing the digital content in view of the customized printing instructions;

automatically selecting media upon which the digital content is to be printed in view of the customized printing instructions; and

causing the processed digital content to be printed on the selected media.

14. The method of claim 13, further comprising:

automatically selecting a media size to maintain a fixed page layout for the published content.

15. The method of claim 13, wherein the customized printing instructions specify at least one of:

text font size;

text font style;

line spacing;

text density;

background color;

or

media type.

16. The method of claim 13, wherein the customized printing instructions vary by sub-portion of the published content.

17. The method of claim 13, wherein the published content is retrieved from a content provider over a network.

18. The method of claim 13, wherein the one or more test interfaces includes a plurality of repeating characters with a set of digits.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein the one or more test interfaces prompts the user to find the set of digits within the plurality of repeating characters and input the set of digits.

20. The method of claim 13, wherein the customized printing instructions are associated with a profile of the user that has been previously generated based on the inputs provided by the user on the one or more test interfaces, wherein the profile is further based on ambient light detected at a time the inputs were provided by the user on one or more test interfaces.
