ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for matching the print outputs of two printers having different characteristics. For the purpose of laser printing, or more generally for reproduction on any printing device with limited number of printing levels, a color or grayscale image has to be transformed into an array of printing decisions at each pixel of the output image. Sometimes this array is the only available representation of the original image. One may desire to print this array on a printer with different characteristics from the printer for which the array was originally prepared. The method and apparatus solve this problem by generating a printing decision matrix which takes into account the differences between the two printers.
