Selecting colorant amount for printing
A method for selecting a colorant amount for printing is described in which a maximum optical density of an image is identified. The maximum optical density is compared to with a threshold optical density, and when the threshold is exceeded, dot cluster sizes from a first lookup table are selected, otherwise, dot cluster sizes from a second lookup table are selected. A colorant thickness corresponding to the selected dot cluster sizes is selected for printing the image.
