ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a color management method for controlling the amount of black ink used by a destination device with a black channel when converting colors from one of a plurality of source device color spaces to destination device color space. This conversion is accomplished by obtaining a black weight of a source pixel in the source device color space, transforming the source pixel into a color in color appearance space, and calculating destination values based on the color in color appearance space and the obtained black weight. In the case that the source device color space does not include a black channel, the black weight is obtained from a color purity of the source pixel. In the case that the source device color space is a device space including a K channel, the black weight is obtained from the K channel.
