ABSTRACT:
A colorant selection mechanism for a color reproduction device is disclosed that is capable to find all the sets of colorants that yield a specific colour and to select the most stable one. In a specific embodiment, the Jacobean of a printer model for the color reproduction device is used to determine a stability number for each colorant combination. The stability number may be based on the largest singular value of the Jacobean. Both the method and an apparatus are disclosed.
