    摘要: A method is disclosed for calibrating a digital printer to provide a substantially aim printer response. A test target is processed through a set of potential calibration functions to form a set of processed test targets and the set of processed test targets is printed using the digital printer. Thereafter, the printer response for each of the potential calibration functions is evaluated by visually examining the printed set of processed test targets. The potential calibration function that best matches a visual criterion is then selected.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are disclosed for calibrating a digital printer to provide a substantially aim printer response. A test target is processed through a set of potential calibration functions to form a set of processed test targets and the set of processed test targets is printed using the digital printer. Thereafter, the set of printed test targets is measured to determine the printer response. An error criterion is determined for each measured test target by comparing the measured printer response for each of the set of potential calibration functions to the aim printer response. The calibration function which has the smallest value of the error criterion is then selected.

    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.
