Abstract
A color correction method includes displaying an expected print image of a test image of the image forming apparatus on a monitor, outputting the test image to the image forming apparatus, performing color matching between the output test image and an expected print image on the monitor, changing an ICC profile of the monitor according to the performed color matching, and generating a print data using the changed ICC profile. Also a print controlling terminal which performs the color correction method.
Claims25
A color correction method in a print controlling terminal which is connectable to an image forming apparatus, the method, comprising:
- displaying an expected print image of a test image of the image forming apparatus on a monitor;
- outputting the test image to the image forming apparatus;
- performing color matching between the output test image and the expected print image on the monitor;
- changing an ICC profile of the monitor according to the performed color matching;
- and
- generating a print data using the changed ICC profile.
A print controlling terminal which is connectable to an image forming apparatus, the terminal comprising:
- a video driver unit to display an expected print image of a test image of the image forming apparatus on a monitor;
- a communication interface unit to output the test image to the image forming apparatus;
- an input unit to perform color matching between the output test image and an expected print image on the monitor;
- a changing unit to change an ICC profile of the monitor according to the performed color matching;
- and
- a driver unit to generate a print data using the changed ICC profile.
A print controlling terminal which is connectable to an image forming apparatus, the terminal comprising:
- a video driver unit to display a user interface window comprising a first area where an expected print image of a test image of the image forming apparatus is displayed and a second area where at least one of color temperature, brightness and contrast of a monitor is input based on the displayed expected print image and an output test image of the image forming apparatus for color matching;
- a changing unit to change an ICC profile of the monitor according to the performed color matching;
- and
- a driver unit to generate print data using the changed ICC profile.
A color correction method in a print controlling terminal which is connectable to an image forming apparatus, the method, comprising:
- comparing an output result of a test image by the image forming apparatus to a displayed expected print image on a monitor;
- changing an ICC profile of the monitor based on the comparison;
- and
- generating a print data using the changed ICC profile.
A print controlling terminal which performs color correction of an image, the terminal comprising:
- a controller to control displaying an expected print image of a test image of the image forming apparatus on a monitor, to control outputting the test image to the image forming apparatus, and to perform color matching between the output test image and an expected print image on the monitor;
- a changing unit to change an ICC profile of the monitor according to the performed color matching;
- and
- a driver unit to generate a print data using the changed ICC profile.
