Abstract: A method for controlling printer color is provided. The method includes receiving cartridge color density data, such as from analysis of a test patch printed by the cartridge, and reference cartridge data, such as from analysis of a test patch printed and measured in accordance with a color standard. The color density data of the cartridge test patch is then mapped to the color density data of the reference cartridge test patch to generate mapped color density data, such as a look-up table that provides a dot activation for the cartridge that generates the same color density for a known dot activation for the reference cartridge. The mapped color density data is then used to control color density for printing a set of image data.

Abstract: A system for characterizing color is provided. The system includes a color patch identification system that receives image data, such as image data of a color wedge, and generates color patch data, such as for two or more patches that make up the color wedge. A color patch characterization system receives the color patch data and generates color density data, such as by calculating the average color density of each color patch.

Abstract: A color correction technique involves sensing an illuminant and performing color correction based on the sensed illuminant. A color output device outputs an image with the color correction based on the sensed illuminant. The illuminant may be sensed in the lighting environment where the color output device is located or may be sensed in the lighting environment where the image is captured by a color digital camera. If an illuminant is sensed in a lighting environment where the image is captured and spectral reflectance data for an object corresponding to the image is detected, then the illuminant information and spectral reflectance data are embedded in the image which is transmitted over the Internet to a user computer system. Color correction software of the user computer system extracts the illuminant information and the spectral reflectance data and performs color correction for the image based on the extracted information.

Abstract: A technique of automatic printer color correction includes accessing characterization data of the color ink cartridge and rendering consistent color for the color ink jet printer based on the characterization data. The characterization data can be stored on a website and accessed over the Internet by providing an identifier of the color ink cartridge. The identifier can, for example, be the serial number of the color ink cartridge. The characterization data—density data, for example—can be added to a printer profile for the color ink jet printer.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for determining ink key control settings for a plurality of ink keys in a printing press. Each of the ink keys controls the amount of ink supplied to a roller and then to a respective ink key zone on a substrate to print an image. A press model relates image requirements to ink key control settings. The press model includes a gain and a respective offset associated with each ink key. The offset represents the amount a value represented by the ink key control setting varies from the actual ink key opening. The drift in the respective offsets of the ink keys is tracked by comparing control settings predicted by the press model with final control settings after a press job has been satisfactorily completed.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for correction of the effects of ink back-flow and lateral flow in the inking system of a web-offset printing press. A plate coverage equation dependent on plate coverage is used to compensate for ink back-flow into the ink reservoir. An ink key distribution function is utilized to correct for the blurring effects of lateral ink spread caused by the action of vibrator rollers. A correction is also made for the ink saturation effect. The method is applicable to an ink key preset system.

Abstract: A method for monitoring color of a printed image printed on a substrate, the method comprising the steps of: positioning a camera assembly to receive light reflected from the printed image on the substrate, the camera assembly including a structure for producing a signal; transmitting the signal from the camera assembly to a computer; and processing the signal in the computer to correct for the effects of scattered light reflected from the printed image.

Abstract: A control system is disclosed for controlling misregistration between the colors of an image printed on a web. The system includes an imaging device such as a camera or group of cameras, a processor, and image conversion circuits coupled to the processor. The system detects print color misregistration based upon the signals produced by the imaging device as a result of scanning the printed image. The conversion circuits convert the signals to signals usable by the processor to determine the color densities of the various colors within the image. These on-press color densities are compared with reference color densities stored in a memory of the processor, wherein the reference color densities may be generated from a source such as the printing plates used to print the image for which misregistration is being monitored.
