Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for selectively qualifying printers for printing incoming jobs, based on an amount of colors within the job that the printers can reproduce. One embodiment is a system that includes an interface and a memory storing a print job defined in a job color space. The system also includes a controller that identifies colors specified by print data in the print job, determines coordinates of the colors in a perceptual color space, selects a printer, determines boundaries of a color gamut of the printer in the perceptual color space, and determines an amount of the colors that the printer is capable of reproducing. When the amount is greater than a threshold, the controller qualifies the printer for printing the print job. When the amount is less than the threshold, the controller disqualifies the printer from printing the print job.

Claim (Index 1):
A system comprising:\n an interface; a memory storing a print job defined in a job color space; and a controller that is configured to identify colors specified by print data in the print job, determine coordinates of the colors in a perceptual color space, select a printer, determine boundaries of a color gamut of the printer that together define a shape in the perceptual color space, and determine an amount of the colors that the printer is capable of reproducing based on whether the colors are within the boundaries of the shape, when the amount is greater than a threshold, the controller is configured to qualify the printer for printing the print job, when the amount is less than the threshold, the controller is configured to disqualify the printer from printing the print job, wherein the controller is configured to discard colors that are within a predefined proximity of a previously processed color in the perceptual color space, prior to determining the amount of the colors that the printer is capable of reproducing, such that the discarded colors are not considered when determining the amount of colors that the printer is capable of reproducing.
