IN-PROCESS COLOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DIGITAL COLOR PRINTING

摘要

In-process color management system and method for digital color printing are disclosed. An example method includes generating a color target during a production run of a printing operation; measuring first color space values of the color target; in response to measuring the first color space values, comparing the first measured color space values to reference color space values to identify a difference between the first measured color space values and the reference color space values; comparing the difference to a threshold range; and in response to the difference being outside of the threshold range, adjusting color values during the production run to enable a difference between second measured color space values and the reference color values to be within the threshold range.

1. A method, comprising:
printing, using a printer, a color target on a substrate during a production run of a printing operation; measuring first color space values of the color target using a spectrophotometer; in response to measuring the first color space values, comparing the first measured color space values to reference color space values to identify a difference between the first measured color space values and the reference color space values; comparing the difference to a threshold range; in response to the difference being outside of the range, adjusting color values during the production run to enable a difference between second measured color space values and the reference color values to be within the threshold range.
