ABSTRACT:
A method for determining ink coverage requirements for all unique printing ink colors specified within a digital image. The steps of the method include selecting a plate from a plurality of plates to be included in the subject image vector graphics. Each plate includes a Name color that identifies a printing ink color as selected from an industry standard color system. The selected plate and the associated Named color are embedded in the image vector data. The vector data is then rasterized into bitmapped pixel data while preserving the embedded name colors. A set of bitmapped pixel data for each plate is produced. A pixel count of each set of pixel data is then performed to determine an ink coverage requirement for each plate and its associated Named color.
