ABSTRACT:
A color printing system with reduced bleed includes a computer and a color printer. The computer has a digital processor and memory accessed by the digital processor, where the memory stores printable objects selected from the group comprising graphic objects and non-graphic objects and pixel maps corresponding to the graphic objects and the non-graphic objects. The color printer is coupled to the computer and is capable of printing the pixel maps using color pixels and black pixels. An image processor implemented on the computer identifies the graphic objects among the printable objects, adjusts pixel densities of the graphic objects, and renders the printable objects as the pixel maps, such that black pixel densities of pixel maps of the graphic objects are reduced without reducing black pixel densities of pixel maps of the non-graphic objects. A method of the present invention includes the steps of identifying graphic objects among printable objects, adjusting color information of the graphic objects if bleed reduction criteria are met, and developing printer control information from the printable objects that can provide for a lower black pixel density for the graphic objects due to the adjustment of the color information of the graphic objects.
