APPLICATION DRIVEN SPOT COLOR OPTIMIZER FOR REPROGRAPHICS

摘要

A method for identifying one or more spot colors in a full color multi-bit image data, and processing the identified spot colors for output on an image printing system is provided. The method includes inputting the full color image data, wherein the full color image data includes a plurality of pixels; analyzing the inputted image to identify the pixels with a spot color from the pixels with a non-spot color, wherein each pixel with a spot color is within a predetermined threshold from a desired color value; processing the identified spot color pixels; and combining the processed spot color pixels with non-spot color pixels to form a data structure.
