Abstract
A system and method for enhancing media calibration and rendering to enable the use of multiple sets of calibration curves and intrapage when rendering to a multi-substrate media. A calibration target related to a specific multi-substrate media can be rendered. A number of calibration patches can then be measured with respect to each substrate region on the media. The calibration patches can be utilized to create a custom rendering profile for the multi-substrate media. A rendering job can be processed and a matching custom rendering profile defined in the multi-substrate calibration can then be applied to regions specified in the media definition.
Claims20
A method for providing specialty media calibration enhancements, said method comprising:
- rendering a calibration target related to a multi-substrate specialty media;
- measuring a plurality of calibration patches for each substrate region on said multi-substrate specialty media, wherein each patch measurement value thereof is uniquely associated with a specific substrate region;
- and
- creating a custom rendering profile utilizing said plurality of calibration patches for said multi-substrate specialty media in order to thereafter apply a matching custom rendering profile to a plurality of intrasheet regions specified in a media definition with respect to a rendering job, thereby enhancing media calibration when rendering said rendering job to said multi-substrate specialty media.
A method for providing specialty media calibration enhancements, said method comprising:
- rendering a calibration target related to a multi-substrate specialty media;
- measuring a plurality of calibration patches for each substrate region on said multi-substrate specialty media, wherein each patch measurement value thereof is uniquely associated with a specific substrate region;
