Abstract (en)

[origin: JPH0356832A] PURPOSE: To enable easily and finely evaluating and controlling half tone depth of reference print and additional calibration print by using particular matrix conversion equation and converting to colorimetric difference and evaluating. CONSTITUTION: Each of reference print and additional calibration print is scanned with light and a half tone depth differential vector [ΔF] i having a depth difference component of half tone is determined. Then, a depth conversion matrix element [W] calculated in advance based on the matrix conversion equation I from a half tone colorimetric differential vector [ΔF] i having a depth difference component determined by a spectrometer colorimetry and stored is referred to convert the vector [ΔR] i to [ΔF] i, and the print quality is evaluated. Therefore, the spectrometric colorimetry is not necessary at every evaluation and so evaluation is made simply and finely. The color control and ink control of printer are also performed in similar manner.
