Patent ID: 7747073

Claim:
A method for generating an adjusted color profile for a printing device, comprising: receiving an original profile for the device, said original profile selected by the user; generating, using a user interface responsive to a user's selection, an aim defining a multi-parameter relationship between a known input color and a resulting output color for the device where the colors are described in device independent coordinates, and wherein the aim includes at least one user-specified color preference; accepting, from the user interface, the aim defining a multi-parameter relationship between a known input color and a resulting output color for the device; and creating, in response to the original profile and the aim, an adjusted profile for the device wherein creating an adjusted profile further includes: taking an AtoB0 tag in the original profile as the forward characterization function; and invoking a custom parametric algorithm and creating at least an intended inverse characterization and gamut-mapping that are included within the aim.
