Method for Generating an Optimized Printer Calibration

A method for generating an optimized printer calibration, the method comprising;

• a) limiting colorimetrically for each primary color a maximum value,
• b) linearizing each primary color colorimetrically,
• c) determining a maximum value of a combined printing of all primary colors colorimetrically,
• d) defining a resulting color gamut,
• e) determining an outer envelope of the color gamut with equal spacings;
• f) interpolating intermediate values of a resulting calibration table;
• wherein the step b) comprises:
• linearly scaling tonal values of a primary color so that the maximum value of the step a) corresponds to a tonal value 100%;
• determining a total length of a graph of each primary color in the CIELAB color space from tonal value of 0% to the tonal value of 100% at the maximum value determined in the step a);
• and
• subsequently newly correlating the tonal values linearly to a proportion of a traveled length on the graph relative to a total length of the graph, beginning at 0% up to the maximum value that has been determined in the step a) and that corresponds to the tonal value of 100%.
