Method for correcting cartridge color shifts for performing imaging with an imaging apparatus using a cartridge

摘要

A method for correcting cartridge color shifts for imaging with an imaging apparatus includes determining a spectral signature band for each colorant to yield a plurality of spectral signature bands; determining a minimum number of the spectral signature bands from the plurality of spectral signature bands to form a group of spectral signature bands that are applicable to all colorants of the plurality of colorants; determining a primary colorant profile for each colorant of the plurality of colorants of the cartridge based on the minimum number of the spectral signature bands; determining primary colorant shift data based on the primary colorant profile for each colorant and based on a standard cartridge primary colorant profile; estimating combined colorant shift data using the primary colorant shift data; and generating color correction data based on the combined colorant shift data for use in imaging with an imaging apparatus using the cartridge.
