Abstract

This paper describes a novel method for finding colorant amounts for which a printer will produce a requested color appearance based on constrained optimization. An error function defines the gamut mapping method and black replacement method. The constraints limit the feasible solution region to the device gamut and prevent exceeding the maximum total area coverage. Colorant values corresponding to in-gamut colors are found with precision limited only by the accuracy of the device model. Out-of- gamut colors are mapped to colors within the boundary of the device gamut. This general approach, used in conjunction with different types of color difference equations, can perform a wide range of out-of-gamut mappings such as chroma clipping or for finding colors on gamut boundary having specified properties. We present an application of this method to the creation of PostScript color rendering dictionaries and ICC profiles.
