Patent ID: 7477418

Claim:
A method, comprising: determining a model-specific Digital Target for a first color rendering device and a first non-CIE color measuring device combination; and implementing said model-specific Digital Target for calibrating a second color rendering device, wherein said determining said model specific Digital Target comprises the steps of: a) reproducing a predetermined Digital Target on said first color rendering device; b) obtaining color measurements of said predetermined Digital Target as reproduced by said first color rendering device on a CIE color measuring device; c) determining a CIE profile from the color measurements of said CIE color measuring device; d) generating at least one test image on said first color rendering device using said CIE profile; e) obtaining color measurements of said predetermined Digital Target as reproduced by said first color rendering device on said first non-CIE color measuring device; f) determining a non-CIE profile from the color measurements of said first non-CIE color measuring device; g) generating at least one test image on said first color rendering device using said non-CIE profile; h) comparing said at least one test image generated using said CIE profile to said at least one test image generated using said non-CIE profile to determine if a color difference exists between said at least one test image generated using said CIE profile and said at least one test image generated using said non-CIE profile; and i) in response to a color difference in said at least one test image generated using said CIE profile and said at least one test image generated using said non-CIE profile, adjusting a digital color patch of said predetermined Digital Target in a manner to cause said color difference to be reduced.
