Claim One:
1. A method of compensating for printer cross-process nonuniformities: comprising: (a) printing a plurality of printer cross-process aligned test patterns on a substrate associated with the printer, the plurality of test patterns comprising a plurality of print densities associated with a plurality of respective target print densities, wherein the plurality of test patterns are configured to subsequently quantify printer process direction noise associated with the printer; (b) determining the actual print density associated with the plurality of test patterns relative to a plurality of printer cross-process locations to generate an initial printer cross-process uniformity profile; (c) determining the effects of printer process direction noise on the determined actual print densities associated with the plurality of test patterns; (d) generating a second printer cross-process uniformity profile which offsets the effects of the determined printer process direction noise; and (e) generating a TRC which compensates for the second printer cross-process uniformity profile.
