  • Patent number: 6441923
    Abstract: A method for calibrating a printer includes printing a set of color samples with the printer, the set of samples or calibration target generated dynamically in response to selected printer variables, and reflecting at least a portion of the printer gamut. Each printed color sample in the set of samples is measured calorimetrically, to determine the printer's response thereto, so that a calibration table can be generated, taking into account printer variables selected by a user.
