Abstract
A color calibration chart may be created including a plurality of colors that are variations of a print color established for printing a reference color by a printing system using multiple colors. The colors in the calibration chart may be measured. A color from the calibration chart may be selected for printing the reference color which has a measurement value indicative of a color consistency within a predefined distance from a reference value for the print color.
Claims15
A method, comprising:
- creating a color calibration chart including a plurality of colors that are variations of a print color established for printing a reference color by a printing system using multiple colors;
- measuring the colors in the calibration chart;
- and
- selecting from the calibration chart the color for printing the reference color which has a measurement value indicative of a color consistency within a predefined distance from a reference value for the print color.
A computer-readable medium having instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause to processor to
- create a color calibration chart including a plurality of colors that are variations of a print color established for printing a reference color by a printing system using multiple colors;
- measure the colors in the calibration chart;
- and
- select from the calibration chart the color for printing the reference color which has a measurement value indicative of a color consistency within a predefined distance from a reference value for the print color.
A multiple color printing system, comprising:
- a print head;
- a measurement device;
- and
- a controller to cause the print head to print a color calibration chart including a plurality of variations of the print color established for printing a reference color, to cause the measurement device to measure the colors in the calibration chart, and to select from the calibration chart the color for printing the reference color which has a measurement value indicative of a color consistency within a predefined distance from a reference value for the print color.
