    Abstract: In an example, a method includes acquiring data representing an article to be printed, the data comprising an element set associated with a print addressable location, the element set comprising a first element subset and a second element subset, wherein the first element subset and the second element subset comprise an element identifying a print material selection which is associated en with a probability that the print material selection is to be applied to the associated print addressable location. The method further includes determining a first set of cumulative probability values associated with the elements of the first element subset and determining a second set of cumulative probability values associated with the elements of the second element subset. The first set of cumulative probability values may span a first predetermined value range and the second set of cumulative probability values may span a second predetermined value range.

    Abstract: Methods for printer color calibration are disclosed. A nominal Neugebauer Primary area coverage (NPac) vector from an NPac space is then determined from a color mapping, the nominal NPac vector corresponding to a given color value in a color space. One or more colorant calibration factors each associated with a color of colorant are received; the calibration factors representing operational characteristics of the printer. One or more optimization metrics for constraining desired properties of an objective calibrated NPac vector to be generated are also received. The calibrated NPac vector is generated based on the nominal NPac vector such that: the generated calibrated NPac vector is convex; and for each given color of colorant the usage of colorant associated with the generated calibrated NPac vector is equal to the product of usage of colorant associated with the nominal NPac vector; and the calibration factor for the given color of colorant.

    Abstract: Certain examples described herein relate to printer calibration. In certain cases, measurement data is received, the measurement data indicative of an adjustment to be applied to a given colorant in a set of colorants printable by a printing system. In certain examples, a Neugebauer primary area coverage (NPac) vector comprising an area coverage of a first Neugebauer primary (NP) is obtained. Based on the received measurement data, the NPac vector is adjusted by decreasing the area coverage in the NPac vector of the first NP and increasing an area coverage in the NPac vector of a second NP. The first NP and the second NP correspond to colorant combinations that differ by a predetermined amount of the given colorant.

    Abstract: Certain examples described herein relate to color spaces. In some cases, first and second sets of output color values representable in an output color space are obtained. The first and second sets of output color values correspond to first and second operating states of a printing system respectively. Each output color value in the first and second sets has corresponding coordinates in a colorimetry space. The first and second sets of output color values define respective first and second gamuts in the colorimetry space. First and second colorimetry values in an intersection of the first and second gamuts in the colorimetry space are selected, the selecting based on the respective colorimetry of the first and second colorimetry values and a predetermined transition region in an input color space. For an input color value located in the predetermined transition region of the input color space, a corresponding target colorimetry value located between the first and second colorimetry values in the colorimetry space is obtained. First and second output color values are derived based on the target colorimetry value and the first and second sets of output color values, respectively. First and second mappings between the input color space and the output color space are generated by respectively assigning the first and second output color values to the input color value.

    Abstract: Certain examples described herein relate to updating a lookup table for an imaging system. An initial lookup table for an imaging system is obtained, the initial lookup table mapping between a first color space and a second color space. A smoothed version of the initial lookup table is also obtained. Further obtained are color property values corresponding to nodes of the lookup tables that map from a vertex-to-vertex axis of the first color space. The color property values are derived from measurements of test areas rendered by the imaging system. For a target node of the smoothed version of the initial lookup table that maps from the vertex-to-vertex axis, a pair of nodes in the initial lookup table are selected based on the obtained color property values. A mapped value in the second color space for the target node is updated, based on an interpolation of mapped values for the pair of nodes in the initial lookup table. The mapped value for the target node is constrained based on a color property value for the target node.
