1. A method comprising:
characterizing a colorant dispenser based upon optical characteristics of one or more generated colorants generated using a substrate, one or more colorants, and the colorant dispenser, wherein characterizing the colorant dispenser includes:
a) dispensing two or more colorant sections onto the substrate according to corresponding colorant concentrations;
b) measuring one or more optical characteristics of the two or more colorant sections;
c) computing an error based on the one or more optical characteristics of the two or more colorant sections;
d) determining whether the two or more colorant sections have a suitable progression including a colorimetric progression and a spectral progression;
e) when the two or more colorant sections do not have a suitable progression, setting the colorant concentrations to adjusted values and repeating a) through f); and
f) when the two or more colorant sections have a suitable progression, constructing a colorant dispenser characterization table based on the colorant concentrations;

determining one or more colorant recipes based on the colorant dispenser characterization;
adjusting the one or more colorant recipes to generate one or more adjusted colorant recipes;
selecting a set of one or more matching colorant recipes from among the one or more colorant recipes and the one or more adjusted colorant recipes; and
providing one or more layers files and an instruction/metadata file, the one or more layer files containing location information and the instruction/metadata file containing the set of one or more matching colorant recipes, the one or more layer files and the instruction/metadata file effective to cause the colorant dispenser to dispense colorant according to the one or more matching colorant recipes at specified locations according to the one or more layer files.
