Abstract
A control strip including an analog representation of a control color image useful in controlling the reproduction of a main color image, characterized in that the analog representation of the control color image was provided by the method of providing a digital representation of the control color image and transforming the digital representation of the control color image into the analog representation of the control color image.
Claims24
A method for providing a control strip, said control strip comprising an analog representation of a control color image useful in controlling the reproduction of a main color image, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a digital representation of said control color image;
- and
- transforming said digital representation of said control color image into an analog representation of said control color image, said step of transforming comprises the steps of:
- providing a digital representation of the main color image;
- and
- employing a color printing device to transform the digital representations of the main color image and of the control color image into an analog representation of a composite image, the composite image comprising the main color image and the control color image.
- wherein said step of transforming further comprises the step of determining the orientation of the control color image within the composite image.
A method for providing a control strip, said control strip comprising an analog representation of a control color image useful in controlling the reproduction of a main color image, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a digital representation of said control color image;
- and
- transforming said digital representation of said control color image into an analog representation of said control color image, said step of transforming comprises the steps of:
- providing a digital representation of the main color image;
- and
- employing a color printing device to transform the digital representations of the main color image and of the control color image into an analog representation of a composite image, the composite image comprising the main color image and the control color image,
- wherein said step of transforming further comprises the step of determining the location of the control color image within the composite image.
A method for providing a control strip, said control strip comprising an analog representation of a control color image useful in controlling the reproduction of a main color image, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a digital representation of said control color image;
- and
- transforming said digital representation of said control color image into an analog representation of said control color image,
- wherein said step of transforming further comprises the step of printing the control color image as a positive.
A method for providing a control strip, said control strip comprising an analog representation of a control color image useful in controlling the reproduction of a main color image, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a digital representation of said control color image;
- and
- transforming said digital representation of said control color image into an analog representation of said control color image,
