    摘要: A method for determining colorant control values for a color imaging device having four or more colorants is disclosed. The method includes defining a color mapping for a set of paths through a three-channel color space, defining a color mapping function for the three-channel color space relating the three-channel color space values to colorant control values for the four or more colorants of the color imaging device by interpolating between the color mapping defined for the set of paths, forming a forward three-channel color model relating the three-channel color space values to device-independent color values, inverting the forward three-channel color model to determine an inverse three-channel color model relating the device-independent color values to the three-channel color space values, and combining the inverse three-channel color model and the color mapping function to determine an inverse device color model.
