A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores computer-readable instructions. The instructions instruct a computer to perform processes including an acquisition step, a determination step, and a display step. The acquisition step includes acquiring a specified color. The determination step includes determining whether a device-independent color based on the specified color is present within a first color gamut based on first print settings of a printer. The display step includes displaying, when it is determined by the determination step that the device-independent color is present within the first color gamut, second print settings of the printer. The second print settings are different from the first print settings and with which the device-independent color is present within a second color gamut that is based on the second print settings.

An information processing apparatus storing a machine-learned model that learned, by machine learning, a relationship between a type of a printing medium, an amount of a coloring material on the printing medium per unit area, and an image printed on the printing medium; and estimating, based on a selection information and a imaging information, by using the machine-learned model a limit value indicating a maximum value or a minimum value of an amount of the coloring material to be used in printing on the printing medium by the printing section per unit area; and creating, by using the limit value, a color conversion profile including information regarding mapping between a coordinate value in a color space and an amount of the coloring material.

An information processing apparatus configured to store a machine-learned model that learned, by machine learning, a relationship between a type of a printing medium, an amount of a coloring material on the printing medium per unit area, and an image including a gradation image and printed on the printing medium; and estimate, based on a selection information and a imaging information, by using the machine-learned model, a limit value indicating a maximum value or a minimum value of an amount of the coloring material to be used for printing on the printing medium by the printing section per unit area; and create, by using the limit value, a color conversion profile including information regarding mapping between a coordinate value in a color space and an amount of the coloring material.

The occurrence of image quality adverse effects, such as interference fringes and color bleeding, is suppressed for an object including a spot color adjustment-target color. In a case where a spot color adjustment function is made use of, the same color separation table is caused to be applied uniformly, instead of switching color separation tables to be applied to an adjustment-target color depending on whether the object attribute is text/line/graphics, or image.

An image forming apparatus includes: an image forming mechanism that forms a first image on a recording medium based on an image forming condition; a detector that detects a first color of the first image and a color of a foundation under the first image from the recording medium on which the first image is formed; a storage that stores reference data for specifying a relative relationship between a position of the first color in a color space and a position of the color of the foundation in the color space; and a processing circuitry, wherein the processing circuitry corrects the image forming condition based on the reference data and the first color and the color of the foundation detected by the detector.

A method comprising determining a recipe vector of a recipe to a printing device, wherein the recipe is representative of a spot color in an input image, the recipe vector being based on one or more recipe color properties of the recipe, and determining a pixel vector of a pixel of an output of a printing device based on one or more pixel color properties of the pixel, wherein the pixel vector is representative of a spot color in an output of a printing device. The method also comprises comparing the recipe vector and pixel vector to determine a difference between the recipe and pixel and adjusting one or more pixel color properties of the pixel when the difference is below a predetermined threshold, to reduce the difference so as to substantially reproduce the spot color of the input image in the output of the printing device. The adjusted pixel color properties are then provided to the printing device.

An example printing device and method of the printing device is disclosed. A print substance formulation is modulated based on the process characteristic for a selected medium. A print substance is delivered to the selected medium according to the modulated print substance formulation.

A system is disclosed. The system at least one physical memory device to store monitoring logic and one or more processors coupled with the at least one physical memory device, to execute the monitoring logic to receive a first and a second ink deposition data representing an output ink amount versus an input digital count for each of a plurality of color planes, determine whether a difference between the first ink deposition data and the second ink deposition data exceeds a predetermined threshold and transmit a signal upon a determination that the difference between the first ink deposition data and the second ink deposition data exceeds the predetermined threshold.

Example embodiments relate to creating ICC printer profiles with unorthodox ink limits. A printing device may initially print a color profile chart represented by color combinations that are equal to or below an ink limit and generate a first ICC profile based on the color profile chart. The first ICC profile uses a first color set to map input colors of a source color space to output colors of a destination color space. At least one color of the first color set, however, may be represented by a color combination that exceeds the ink limit and thus the printing device may determine a second color set based on the first color set. For the second color set, each color is represented by a color combination that is equal to or below the ink limit. A second ICC profile may be generated to use the second color set.

The occurrence of image quality adverse effects, such as interference fringes and color bleeding, is suppressed for an object including a spot color adjustment-target color. In a case where a spot color adjustment function is made use of, the same color separation table is caused to be applied uniformly, instead of switching color separation tables to be applied to an adjustment-target color depending on whether the object attribute is text/line/graphics, or image.
