An image forming apparatus includes a first reading unit configured to read a first image on a first surface of a document, a second reading unit configured to read a second image on a second surface of the document different from the first surface, a printing unit configured to print a third image on a sheet, and a setting unit configured to set resolution of the third image printed by the printing unit. The printing unit prints the third image on the sheet with the resolution set by the setting unit. The printing unit also prints a fourth image with resolution lower than or equal to a threshold, without using the set resolution, the fourth image used for correction of at least a color value obtained by reading the second image using the second reading unit.

Adjusting colors based on supply levels of print supplies

An example method comprises identifying a plurality of supply levels corresponding to a plurality of print supplies of a print device, and adjusting a color for a region of a print job for the print device based on the plurality of supply levels. The method further comprises initiating execution of the print job using the adjusted color for the region.

Color image processing using models of overlapped response spectra for retinal cone cells
11425281 · 2022-08-23 ·

Techniques of color image processing involve performing a transformation for each color channel that mixes intensity values from other channels to produce a new intensity value for that channel. The new intensity values, representing the effect of overlapped response spectra of the S, M, and L cones, then provide values of the sensitivities of the photoreceptors of each of the cones. These values of the sensitivities form the basis of more accurate color image processing. For example, compression ratios of gamma-compressed color images may be increased when more the sensitivities are more accurate.

A color conversion table corrector corrects a color conversion table used in an image data generation device, and the color conversion table corrector includes a hardware processor that: obtains data related to a print image; obtains first target data based on a first captured image obtained by capturing an image of a first color matching target corresponding to the print image; decides a specific area, in the first captured image, which is not used to correct the color conversion table; and corrects the color conversion table according to the data related to the print image and the first target data based on the first captured image excluding the specific area.

Clustering colors for halftoning

Certain examples described herein relate to a color processing apparatus and a method of generating configuration data for a color rendering device. The color rendering device operates based on color state instructions indicating output color states for portions of a rendered output. Render data may be generated by applying a halftone matrix and color data may indicate probability values for the output color states for input image areas corresponding to the portions of the rendered output. In described examples, configuration data defines an order of output color states for application of the halftone matrix. In the order, the output color states are grouped within the data based on color properties of a rendered output and an order within the clusters is based on colorant composition.
