Abstract:
1. A method of forming a multicolor image on a receiver member substrate comprising: establishing a database of custom color profiles based on receiver member substrate physical properties and printing process characteristics; determining a set of universal color profiles based on physical properties of receiver member substrates from clustered custom profiles; assigning one universal color profile to a target receiver member substrate from the set of universal color profiles; forming a multicolor toner image on the receiver member substrate with toners of at least three different colors of toner pigments which form various combinations of colors at different pixel locations on the receiver member substrate to form the multicolor toner image thereon using the assigned one universal color profile; providing objective or subjective feedback relative to said formed multicolor toner image, said objective feedback being based on color measurement, and said subjective feedback being based on visual evaluation including color patches formed using different universal profiles, and evaluated by a user to determine user preference; and modifying said one universal color profile, or selecting a different universal color profile, based on objective or subjective feedback.
