ABSTRACT:
A system and method is presented for tuning a scanned image to a specified printing device for enhanced image quality output. The method generally has the steps of first receiving a scanned image in digitized format and reading a specification of how the image was scanned including the input document format; the output document format, syntax, and parameter semantics. Loading a device profile of the target printing system as input wherein the parameters that define the enhanced print quality for a printing system are specified by the device profile of that system. Producing an output image such that when printed on the target printer, it produces enhanced quality output. In an alternative embodiment, the system and method further comprises the step of re-sampling the scanned image if the resolution of the primary system does not match that of the scanning system in order to re-screen the scanned image halftones to the ones that are suitable for the designated printing system and to adjust the color gamut of the scanned image to match that of the printing system.
