Claim One:
1. An image control method using a color reproduction device to reference color space mapping in conjunction with a color image capture device and an original document containing graphics, images and/or text, the method comprising the steps of: a. printing an original document with a color reproduction device to create a reproduced document of an original document; b. extracting an output digital virtual printing device document to facilitate a calibration process; c. capturing the reproduced document to produce a scanned document with an image capturing device; d. segmenting an extracted virtual device document to create a set of ROI values (region of interest); e. registering a captured reproduced document with the extracted virtual device document and locating, in a predetermined or automatic manner, ROI values to measure captured color values; f. measuring the reproduced document with a colorimetric measurement device at registered ROI value positions to generate corresponding colorimetric color values; g. relating captured color values, colorimetric color values, and virtual device color values to create an accurate color mapping, from captured values to colorimetric values, using captured and virtual device values from a continuous range.
