ABSTRACT:
A look up table LUT with specific gray reproduction characteristics is used for converting RGB image data to multi-tone data of ink colors. The gray reproduction characteristics of LUT are set such that the color difference ΔE of a gray color area with an arbitrary tone level in the L*a*b* color system is kept at about 4 or less, assuming that the results are observed under two different light sources, such as standard light D50and standard light A, respectively.
