ABSTRACT:
In a printer which produces images as a function of the combination of cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y) and black (K) colorants on an output color print, responsive to device independent colorimetric description of an image, there is provided a method of calibrating the response of the printer to an image described in terms of colorimetric values, including the steps of first, gray balancing or linearizing colorant signals; secondly, adding black to an ideal device dependent description of a color image in accordance with a predetermined black addition process, and thirdly, providing a color correction transformation process, where the color correction transformation is accomplished via a method of interpolating printer responses from a look-up table indexing colorimetric descriptions of measured real responses, which take into account subsequent black addition and signal linearization.
