Abstract: An image forming apparatus for which a first mode using toners of plural colors including a black toner and a second mode using only the black toner can be set, includes a first printing cumulatively counting part that cumulatively counts a first number of pages for which image forming has been executed by using the toners of plural colors; a first printing determining part that determines whether the first number of pages counted by the first printing cumulatively counting part has exceeded a threshold; and a correction control part that controls not to execute a correcting process for image forming that uses the toners of plural colors but to execute a correcting process for image forming that uses only the black toner, when the second mode has been set in a case where the first printing determining part has determined that the first number of pages has exceeded the threshold.

Abstract: A method of adapting color values, which have been produced for a first printing process to a second printing process, is performed so that the visual impressions of the colors in the two printing processes are identical. Starting from a first printing process adaptation U without maintaining the black build-up, which transforms the color values [C1,M1,Y1,K1] of the first printing process into color values [C2,M2,Y2,K2]U of the second printing process, and a second printing process adaptation V while maintaining the black build-up, which transforms the color values [C1,M1,Y1,K1] of the first printing process into color values [C2,M2,Y2,K2]V of the second printing process, a new printing process adaptation W is determined by weighted averaging of the transformed color values [C2,M2,Y2,K2]U and [C2,M2,Y2,K2]V.

Abstract: When there is a copy inhibiting dot pattern in an image, an image destruction processing unit performs image destruction processing to image data, and a storage processing unit stores in a storage unit the image data after the image destruction processing. An RGB/CMY conversion processing unit converts the image data into CMY image data C1, M1, Y1, and a UCR/black creation processing unit sets coefficient α of Formula “K1=min (C1, M1, Y1)×α” to “1,” and creates image data K1, C2, M2, Y2 by using Formula “C2=C1−K1, M2=M1−K1, Y2=Y1−K1.”

Abstract: Color processing methods and apparatus are provided that blend the gray component replacement (“GCR”) level of arbitrarily-specified input color data with an estimate of the GCR level of an output profile, and then converts processed device-independent data to output CMYK data that has a GCR level that substantially matches the GCR level of the input CMYK data. Methods and apparatus in accordance with this invention may be used to receive CMYK data that approximates a spot color, and provide tints of spot colors using an output profile that has a GCR level that differs from the GCR level of the input color data.

Abstract: When a recording agent amount limiting process is carried out, a color reproduction range is narrowed, and therefore gradation properties of dark areas are deteriorated and information originally held by an image is sometimes undesirably lost. By obtaining (401) a colorant amount for each target pixel of input color image data, calculating (402) a colorant amount of a peripheral area of the target pixel, and correcting (400) a density range of the input color image data based on the colorant amount of the target pixel and the colorant amount of the peripheral area of the target pixel, amounts of recording agent are limited and reductions in image quality are prevented.

Abstract translation: 当执行记录剂量限制处理时，颜色再现范围变窄，因此暗区域的灰度特性劣化，有时不理想地丢失了原始由图像保持的信息。 通过对输入彩色图像数据的每个目标像素获得（401）着色剂量，计算（402）目标像素的外围区域的着色剂量，并且基于以下步骤校正（400）输入彩色图像数据的浓度范围： 目标像素的着色剂量和目标像素的周边区域的着色剂量被限制，并且防止了图像质量的降低。

Abstract: An image forming apparatus and a method of controlling the same, in which a toner of another color is substituted for a toner having a remaining amount less than or equal to a minimum amount sufficient to perform remaining printing operation. A substitute toner used for the remaining printing operation is determined according to the amounts of toners remaining in the developing cartridges. A length of time to exhaust the different toners of different colors is balanced so that all developing cartridges are exchanged at a same time.
