ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to providing a saturation compensation technique for color printing that compensates for the over or under reduction of colorant levels that can result from gray component replacement (GCR) or under color removal (UCR) techniques. To solve the problems associated with the prior art GCR/UCR systems, embodiments of the invention implement a saturation compensation technique such that an overreduction of colorant levels is compensated for by increasing the color components (e.g., C, M and Y color components) of a color model accordingly. The saturation level that has been reduced to below a threshold TAC value can be increased to define richer looking, denser images. Embodiments of the invention determine the amount of the increase that is used to achieve a level of saturation that does not exceed the threshold TAC value. Alternatively, if there is an insufficient reduction of colorant levels such that the combined colorant levels (e.g., the sum of the values of the C, M, Y and K color components in a CMYK color model) are greater than a threshold TAC value, embodiments of the invention decrease the saturation level by scaling down component values (e.g., the C, M and Y components) by a factor, X.
