ABSTRACT:
A color printer, responsive to printer signals to deposit printer colorants on a medium in accordance with printer signals received, is calibrated by operating the color printer with printer signals selected to cause the printer to print color samples on the medium; measuring the color samples to determine a first colorimetric response of the printer to the printer signals using the first measured colorimetric response to generate a first mapping of colorimetric values to printer signals; using the first measured colorimetric response or a subsequent measured colorimetric response to generate at least one additional mapping of colorimetric values to printer signals; storing the first and additional mappings in a color conversion memory producing printer signals as a function of the first and additional mappings stored in the color conversion memory to convert color definitions from a first color space to the printer signals suitable for producing a corresponding response at the color printer.
