Abstract: Provided is a color compensation method in an image forming apparatus. The color compensation method may include imaging a first color chart by a first image forming apparatus, scanning the imaged first color chart, comparing information regarding the scanned first color chart and information regarding a reference color chart to determine an international color consortium (ICC) profile of the first image forming apparatus, and performing color compensation on the first image forming apparatus based on the determined ICC profile.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus is provided. The image forming apparatus includes: a storage configured to store a color conversion table; an image former configured to print a compensation chart corresponding to the color conversion table; a scanner configured to scan the printed compensation chart; and a changer configured to understand a range of brightness that the image former is able to represent using the scanned compensation chart, generate a gamma curve corresponding to the understood range of brightness, and change the color conversion table based on the generated gamma curve.

Abstract: A print controlling apparatus includes a storage to store a plurality of color feature information, an acquirer to acquire color feature information of a second image forming apparatus, a moderator to moderate color converting table of a first image forming apparatus by using the acquired color feature information and the plurality of color feature information stored in the storage, and a controller to perform printing jobs regarding the first image forming apparatus by using the moderated color converting table.

Abstract: A host apparatus connectable to an image forming apparatus and a method are provided. The host apparatus includes a storage configured to store a portable document format (PDF) file, an object extractor configured to extract at least one object that requires color conversion from among objects included in the stored PDF file, a color conversion processor configured to perform color conversion process for each of the extracted objects by using a color conversion function corresponding to each of the extracted objects, and a communication interface configured to transmit the PDF file where the color conversion process is performed to the image forming apparatus.
