  • Methods and systems for creating ICC printer profiles with unorthodox ink limits
    Patent number: 11182112
    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to creating ICC printer profiles with unorthodox ink limits. A printing device may initially print a color profile chart represented by color combinations that are equal to or below an ink limit and generate a first ICC profile based on the color profile chart. The first ICC profile uses a first color set to map input colors of a source color space to output colors of a destination color space. At least one color of the first color set, however, may be represented by a color combination that exceeds the ink limit and thus the printing device may determine a second color set based on the first color set. For the second color set, each color is represented by a color combination that is equal to or below the ink limit. A second ICC profile may be generated to use the second color set.
