Abstract

One example relates to a print system for adjusting a color profile. The print system can comprise a system comprising a memory for storing computer executable instructions and a processing unit for accessing the memory and executing the computer executable instructions. The computer executable instructions can comprise a profile transformer to receive a color sample comprising a color measurement of a proper subset of a gamut of colors printable with ink deposited at a printer. The profile transformer can also provide an adjusted color profile for the printer based on (i) an original color profile associated with a substrate for the printer and (ii) the color sample.

Claims (8)

1. A print system for adjusting a color profile comprising:

a memory for storing computer executable instructions; and

a processing unit for accessing the memory and executing the computer executable instructions, the computer executable instructions comprising:

a profile transformer to:

receive a color sample comprising a color measurement of a proper subset of a gamut of colors printable with ink deposited at a printer;

calculate a forward transform value and a reverse transform value based on a color profile calculated from a profiling chart comprising a set of estimated color samples calculated on the basis of the color sample received by the profile transformer, the forward and reverse transform values to provide a transform value for converting between colorimetry values and color values for the printer;

populate a forward color lookup table and a reverse color lookup table for the adjusted color profile based on the color sample and an original color profile that is an International Color Consortium (ICC) profile comprising a forward color lookup table and a reverse color lookup table; and

provide the adjusted color profile for the printer based on the original color profile for the printer and the color sample, wherein the original color profile for the printer is associated with a substrate.
