Drop volume compensation at least substantially reflectance sensor illuminate invariant

摘要

Drop volume compensation that is at least substantially invariant to the reflectance sensor illuminate being used is disclosed for at least some embodiments of the invention. A method of one embodiment first prints a pattern of a predetermined mixture of colorants that results in at least a substantially identical response from each of a number of reflectance sensors that have different spectral emission profiles. Drop volume compensation is then performed to color balance a first colorant source to a second colorant source, utilizing the mixture of colorants and one of the reflectance sensors. The drop volume compensation is at least substantially invariant to the reflectance sensor utilized.
