Abstract: A method for automatically compensating for scanner metamerism errors associated with scanning input images using a digital color image scanner, wherein the input images can be on a variety of different input media having colorants with different spectral characteristics, comprising scanning an input image on a digital color image scanner to produce a scanned image; determining one or more estimated color balance error values in a color balance parameter space by analyzing the scanned image using a color balance analysis algorithm; assigning an input medium from a set of possible input media for the scanned input image in response to the estimated color balance error values; selecting a scanner metamerism correction color transform associated with the assigned input medium; and applying the selected scanner metamerism correction color transform to the scanned image to produce a corrected image compensated for scanner metamerism errors.

Abstract: A recording element printing and treating system and method are provided. The system includes a printhead for dispensing a liquid comprising a carrier onto a recording element. A carrier removal station positioned downstream from the printhead removes a predetermined percentage of carrier present in the recording element. A converting station positioned downstream from the carrier removal station increases a durability characteristic of the recording element. In one embodiment, printing, carrier removal, and converting are accomplished in a single unit. In an alternative embodiment, printing is accomplished in a stand alone unit while carrier removal and converting are accomplished in a second stand alone unit. In this alternative embodiment, transfer of the recording element can be accomplished automatically using a mechanical device or manually by a system user.

Abstract: A process of obtaining highly stable color images comprises use of an element which has a support having thereon at least one silver halide emulsion layer having associated therewith an essentially colorless, immobile, ligand-releasing compound of the structure LIG-X. In this structure, LIG is a ligand which is capable of complexing with metal ions (e.g. ferrous ions) to form a metal complex dye, and X is a group which, as a function of silver halide development, is cleaved from LIG. A color image is formed by developing the described element after imagewise exposure with a developing agent to imagewise cleave the bond between the LIG and X, and treating the developed element with metal ions (e.g. ferrous ions) to form a metal complex dye image.
