ABSTRACT:
To make the architecture of an image processing module of a monochrome printing machine convertible to a full color printing machine, bypass circuits are included in the luminance processing circuit of the monochrome printing system. These bypass circuits are inserted between a conventional shading circuit and conventional two-dimensional filter and auto-segmentation circuit of the luminance image processing system and between a conventional brightness adjustment circuit and a conventional one-dimensional image processor/screening circuit of the luminance image processing system. This inclusion of bypass circuits enables a chroma processing circuit to be installed in parallel with the luminance processing to make the monochrome system convertible to a full color system. The converted full color system utilizes the luminance processing system of the monochrome system to realize fully color processed signals ready for transmission to a printing subsystem.
