METHOD FOR ADAPTING A PRINTING PROCESS WITH MAINTENANCE OF THE BLACK STRUCTURE

摘要

Disclosed is a method for producing a transformation in area of colour, whereby the colour values of a first printing process are converted to the colour values of a second printing process in such a way that the black structure of the first printing process is substantially transferred to the second printing process and the visual impression of the printed colours in both printing processes are substantially the same. The colour reproduction qualities of the printing processes are characterised by color profiles which indicate a correspondence between the colour values dependent upon a device of the printing processes (CMYK) and the colour values of an area of colour which are independent of a device (LAB). The luminosity curves (L) are determined from these colour profiles according to the black printing inks (K) and the luminosity curves (LAB) are determined according to the coloured printing inks (CMY). Both luminosity curves are combined to obtain the desired transformation of said area of colour.
