A printer cartridge comprising: a memory device, characterized by a plurality of compressed multi-dimensional color tables, wherein: in the memory device there is stored at least one low dimensional portion shared by the plurality of multi-dimensional color tables, the at least one low dimensional portion having a number of dimensions that is less than the number of dimensions of each of the multi-dimensional color tables, the at least one low dimensional portion having color transformation information at a first resolution; and in the memory device there is stored, for each of the plurality of compressed multi-dimensional color tables, a number of remaining portions of each of the plurality of multi-dimensional color tables, the remaining portions being those portions which are not defined by the at least one low dimensional portion, the remaining portions having color transformation information at a second resolution; in which: the first resolution is greater than the second resolution; and each of the plurality of compressed multi-dimensional color tables is to generate a high resolution uncompressed multi-dimensional color table, the high resolution being at least as great as the first resolution. a memory device, characterized by a plurality of compressed multi-dimensional color tables, wherein: in the memory device there is stored at least one low dimensional portion shared by the plurality of multi-dimensional color tables, the at least one low dimensional portion having a number of dimensions that is less than the number of dimensions of each of the multi-dimensional color tables, the at least one low dimensional portion having color transformation information at a first resolution; and in the memory device there is stored, for each of the plurality of compressed multi-dimensional color tables, a number of remaining portions of each of the plurality of multi-dimensional color tables, the remaining portions being those portions which are not defined by the at least one low dimensional portion, the remaining portions having color transformation information at a second resolution; in which: the first resolution is greater than the second resolution; and each of the plurality of compressed multi-dimensional color tables is to generate a high resolution uncompressed multi-dimensional color table, the high resolution being at least as great as the first resolution. in the memory device there is stored at least one low dimensional portion shared by the plurality of multi-dimensional color tables, the at least one low dimensional portion having a number of dimensions that is less than the number of dimensions of each of the multi-dimensional color tables, the at least one low dimensional portion having color transformation information at a first resolution; and in the memory device there is stored, for each of the plurality of compressed multi-dimensional color tables, a number of remaining portions of each of the plurality of multi-dimensional color tables, the remaining portions being those portions which are not defined by the at least one low dimensional portion, the remaining portions having color transformation information at a second resolution; the first resolution is greater than the second resolution; and each of the plurality of compressed multi-dimensional color tables is to generate a high resolution uncompressed multi-dimensional color table, the high resolution being at least as great as the first resolution.
