Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for print profile selection, comprising: receiving a color document into computer memory; receiving print profiles into computer memory, each of the print profiles describing a printer setup for printing the color document; using a computer processor, identifying at least one out-of-gamut region within the color document based at least in part on at least one of the print profiles; presenting the identified at least one out-of-gamut region to a user; receiving at least one color accuracy requirement from the user for at least one of the identified out-of-gamut regions, the user selecting the at least one color accuracy requirement for the identified region from a number of possible color accuracy requirement categories; computing a color quality value for each of the print profiles based at least in part on the received color accuracy requirement; ranking the print profiles based at least in part according to the computed color quality value; and outputting the ranking of the print profiles, including providing the user with a ranked list of print profiles, wherein the computing of the color quality value for each of the at least one print profiles based at least in part on the received color accuracy requirements comprises: for each print profile:
