ABSTRACT:
A printing system for printing images, and including a system to reduce marking material coverage, while maintaining color fidelity, includes an image input, where the image defines an amount of marking material to be deposited on an printed reproduction, a marking material coverage calculator, determining expected original marking material coverage for a given area of a received image; and a marking material reduction controller, using the expected marking material determination to control coverage reduced reproduction of the given area in accordance with a non-linear coverage reduction function.
