ABSTRACT:
A technique for use in a direct digital color proofing (DDCP) system (500) for printing a "modelling" color(s) in a halftone color proof image such that the modelling color simulates a ("special") color that does not lie within a gamut of colors reproducible through only primary color (e.g. cyan, magenta, yellow and black) halftone printing. Specifically, a wide range of such modelling colors can be produced by independently and appropriately setting dot size, particularly in combination with solid area density, for the halftone dots (110, 120, 130, 140) produced for different primary colors and then printing the resulting dots on an overlaid dot-on-dot basis with proper registration. Appropriate dot gain and density look-up tables (230, 720; 240, 940) are respectively used to transform continuous tone separation values and bit-mapped data to vary dot size and solid area density of these halftone dots for each such primary color prior to printing these dots using a proofing engine. A unique set of tables is used to produce each different modelling color.
