Abstract
A system, device, and method for managing colors of a color printer by printing color patches on a test sheet of paper associated with a paper type, determining spectral data of the color patches using an inline full width array spectrophotometer of the color printer, determining measurements based on the spectral data, determining that a measurement is equal to or within a range of a measurement associated with an existing paper profile; and printing subsequent sheets of paper associated with the paper type using parameters associated with the existing paper profile.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- printing one or more color patches on a test sheet of paper associated with a paper type;
- determining spectral data of the one or more color patches using a full width array spectrophotometer;
- determining measurements based on the spectral data;
- determining that at least one of the measurements is equal to or within a range of a measurement associated with an existing paper profile;
- printing subsequent sheets of paper associated with the paper type using parameters associated with the existing paper profile;
- printing one or more color patches on a second test sheet of paper associated with a second paper type;
- determining second spectral data of the one or more color patches of the second test sheet using the full width array spectrophotometer;
- and
- adjusting parameters of a printer based on determining that one or more measurements based on the second spectral data are not equal to or within a range of measurements associated with existing paper profiles.

A system comprising:
- a printer;
- a processing system comprising one or more processors capable of transmitting data to the printer;
- and
- a memory system comprising one or more computer-readable media, wherein the one or more computer-readable media contain instructions that, when executed by the processing system, cause the processing system to perform operations comprising:
- printing one or more color patches on a test sheet of paper associated with a paper type;
- determining spectral data of the one or more color patches using a full width array spectrophotometer;
- determining measurements based on the spectral data;
- determining that at least one of the measurements is equal to or within a range of a measurement associated with an existing paper profile;
- printing subsequent sheets of paper associated with the paper type using parameters associated with the existing paper profile;
- printing one or more color patches on a second test sheet of paper associated with a second paper type;
- determining spectral data of the one or more color patches of the second test sheet using the full width array spectrophotometer;
- and
- adjusting parameters of a printer based on determining that one or more measurements based on the second spectral data are not equal to or within a range of measurements associated with existing paper profiles.
