Abstract (en)

A method and an apparatus for reproducing a continuous tone image by application of at least two different types of marking particles to a receiving substrate, the method including the steps of: subdividing the continuous tone image into image portions; determining a plurality of printing combinations, each printing combination optionally including a set of tone curves and including a printing sequence for applying the different types of marking particles to the receiving substrate; determining, for at least two printing combinations and for at least one selected image portion, visual quality characteristics (N1, N2, N3, G1, G2, G3) that depend on the selected image portion and on the printing combination; selecting, based on the visual quality characteristics, a selected printing combination for the selected image portion; printing the selected image portion according to the selected printing combination. <IMAGE>
