Publication number: 20220030134Abstract: Certain examples described herein relate to adjusting a printing system. In certain cases, a lookup table, LUT, is obtained where the lookup table comprises a plurality of nodes that map a plurality of input first color space values to a plurality of Neugebauer Primary area coverage, NPac, vectors in a second color space and each NPac vector comprises at least one Neugebauer Primary, NP. Each NPac vector in the LUT is adjusted by the determination of a colorimetric value of the NPac vector and the modification of the NPac vector based on a characteristic of the corresponding at least one NP and the colorimetric value such that the modification is specific to the NPac vector. The lookup table is updated with the modified NPac vector and stored for referral by the printing system in any future printing.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2019Publication date: January 27, 2022Applicant: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.Inventors: Sergio Etchebehere Juan, Peter Morovic, Jan Morovic, Hector Gomez Minano

Patent number: 11057543Abstract: Certain examples described herein relate to updating a lookup table for an imaging system. An initial lookup table for an imaging system is obtained, the initial lookup table mapping between a first color space and a second color space. A smoothed version of the initial lookup table is also obtained. Further obtained are color property values corresponding to nodes of the lookup tables that map from a vertex-to-vertex axis of the first color space. The color property values are derived from measurements of test areas rendered by the imaging system. For a target node of the smoothed version of the initial lookup table that maps from the vertex-to-vertex axis, a pair of nodes in the initial lookup table are selected based on the obtained color property values. A mapped value in the second color space for the target node is updated, based on an interpolation of mapped values for the pair of nodes in the initial lookup table.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2018Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Peter Morovic, Jan Morovic, Victor Diego Gutierrez, Javier Maestro Garcia

Patent number: 11057542Abstract: Certain examples described herein relate to color calibration. In certain cases, a plurality of test patches are printed with a printing system, the test patches corresponding to a set of initial color sample points and a set of test colors. Color properties of the printed test patches are measured. In certain examples, a gamut descriptor is identified from a plurality of gamut descriptors using the color properties of the test colors.
