Abstract:
A memory-saving printer driver for controlling output image aspects and quality in a color printer, the memory-saving printer driver comprising:(a) a user Interface segment comprising a graphical display for selecting output image aspects, said graphical display having a media type portion for selecting a desired one of a plural number â€œMâ€  of different media types for printing an output image thereon; and (b) a lookup table segment storing a plural number â€œNâ€  of media-type basis color correction lookup tables for making color corrections on output images to be printed on each media type selected from said media type portion, each media-type basis color correction lookup table of said plural number â€œNâ€  thereof being mapped for making corrections on each of a plural and variable number â€œKâ€  of different media types of said plural number â€œMâ€ , wherein â€œKâ€  is one of a series of subsets of said plural number â€œMâ€ , thereby resulting in said plural number â€œNâ€  being less than said plural number â€œMâ€ , and in significant savings in lookup table storage memory.
