Abstract: Force K processing is presented to replace gray color values of input data with only levels of black ink/toner when color management is not specified in the print job. A system converts input data of a print job to a CMYK color space of a printer by processing a lookup table of color values for the color space of the input data based on a detected color space of the input data to identify gray color values of the lookup table. The system also determines that these gray color values produce an output in the CMYK color space of the printer that includes one or more of cyan, magenta, and yellow color components. The system replaces the gray color values with black color values and corresponds the black color values of the lookup table with gray color values of the input data for conversion of the input data.

Abstract: Methods and systems herein provide for estimating when the print quality of a printer is expected to decrease below a threshold based on a function of change in the print quality of the printer. In one embodiment, a system calculates a plurality of print quality measurements based on pages printed by a printer. The system determines a function of change of the print quality of the printer that is based on changes in the print quality measurements. The system estimates when the print quality of the printer is expected to decrease below a threshold based on the function of change in the print quality of the printer. The system then provides the estimate to a print operator.

Abstract: A printer is disclosed. The printer includes one or more sub-systems having a capability of a different magnitude of operation based on print job properties and a controller. The controller includes a monitor to track a first operation time for each of the sub-systems during printing of a first print job and track a second operation time for each of the sub-systems during printing of a second print job.

Abstract: A method is disclosed. The method includes receiving a print job to be printed, determining if the print job is to be processed according to a formula based workflow and invoking formula based International Color Consortium (ICC) profiles to perform color transformations if the print job is determined to be processed according to the formula based workflow.
