摘要:
A number of sets of color values for an imaging system to output a corresponding number of neutral gray outputs at different lightness levels, is computed by interpolation, based at least in part on received or taken measurements of a number of near-neutral patches for the different lightness levels printed by the imaging system using a number of sets of color values of the imaging system's color space. The color values of the imaging system's color space are derived based on a number of sets of color values of a profile connection space (PCS) in accordance with a print table of a color profile of the imaging system mapping color value sets from the PCS to color value sets in the imaging system's color space. The various sets of defining color values define the near-neutral patches in the PCS.

A method and apparatus is used for preserving a black channel when a reference color space without a black channel is used to convert between a source black channel color space and a destination black channel color space (504). In one embodiment, the preservation and conversion system receives an image represented in a black channel color space and converts it to a reference color space, correlates at least one channel from the reference color space with a black output level that identifies a look-up table (LUT) for color values and a weight for interpolating the color values in the LUT for a destination device (510), interpolates between color values in at least two LUTs using the weight (514), and converts the image in the reference color space to the destination the black channel color space using the black output level and interpolated color values in the LUT (520).

A method is provided of reproducing continuous tone pixel colors of a color image having many pixels based on Kueppers' device states, wherein the Kueppers' device states of a printing device are the printed pixel colors that are allowed based on Kueppers' color separation and halftoning. The method includes selecting a Kueppers' device state in the proximity of a continuous tone pixel color to be reproduced from the printing device's set of Kueppers' device states, and printing the Kueppers' device state. An error is diffused between the continuous pixel color and the selected Kueppers' device state to one or more pixels in the neighborhood.
