Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method of generating a multidimensional printer profile for a color printer, the method comprising: a) receiving a plurality of target colors associated with a device independent color space, each target color associated with a respective node of the device independent color space; b) selecting a first group of the nodes to represent a recruiter set of nodes including a plurality of recruiter nodes; c) selecting a second group of the nodes to represent a candidate set of nodes, the candidate set of nodes including a plurality of candidate nodes, the candidate set not including any recruiter nodes; d) determining the nearest candidate node to each recruiter node; e) calculating the device dependent color space representation of the recruiter nodes; f) calculating the device dependent color space representation of the nearest candidate nodes to each respective recruiter node as a function of the device dependent color space representation of the respective recruiter node; and g) generating the multidimensional printer profile by associating the recruiter set of nodes with their respective device dependent color space representations and associating the candidate nodes with their respective device dependent color space representations.
