A kind of equipment calibration method and output device
Technical field
The present invention relates to Color Management Technology, relate in particular to a kind of Equipment Alignment technology in the Color Management Technology.
Background technology
Along with the development of technology such as colour shows, number is printed and digital printed, the effect of color management in demonstration and print production is more and more important.Color is the core of display and print quality control, and in printing enterprise's whole production management, color management is in middle cardiac status.The printing color management is set about introducing and implemented in increasing printing enterprise, and expectation forms the higher print production system of efficient by printing color management and cooperating of modern printing new technology, improves press quality and Enterprises'Competitiveness.
Color management generally is divided into three steps: Equipment Alignment, device characteristicsization, color conversion.Equipment Alignment is meant to be proofreaied and correct each equipment in the print production flow process, and the normalization process parameter makes it be operated in stable status; Device characteristicsization are meant under the prerequisite that equipment is calibrated, and measure color datas and generate the chromatic characteristic file of equipment, the colour gamut feature of recording equipment by various software and hardware instruments.Color conversion is to utilize color management module to pass through device independent color space (Lab, XYZ etc.) to carry out the conversion of device dependent color spaces (CMYK, RGB etc.), realizes the consistency of exporting to the whole process color of printing from before printing.
Equipment Alignment and device characteristicsization are effectively to implement the key of color management.Equipment Alignment is just to the simple correction of each equipment, but to the once comprehensive calibration of print production technology and process, is the standardization and the standardization of print production technological parameter.
Traditional Equipment Alignment is based on all that 4 curves that correspond respectively to CMYK carry out, owing to adjust based on 4 independent curves, so make for CMYK in output and also to handle respectively, and the correlation that can't consider CMYK is adjusted and handled to 4 curves respectively, for example, for CMYK=[30,50,50,50] and CMYK=[30,60,60,60] in, when C curve was adjusted, the adjustment at the C=30 place was identical, though and in fact same C=30, but because the difference of MYK value, the adjustment of C might be different, the drawback that Here it is adjusts based on 4 irrelevant curves, and based on the calibration of 4 curves because both needed to consider level problem, need again to consider the grey balance problem, so the effect that needs operating personnel's certain experience just can obtain.
And development along with printing and printing technique, the particularly development of digital printing, used printing ink has been not limited to CMYK four looks, in order to pursue more high-quality printing and printing effect, the application that has added shallow China ink, the application of other look China inks such as more particularly orange, green, this just has higher requirement to Equipment Alignment, and can not adapt to Equipment Alignment requirement under the complex situations like this based on the Equipment Alignment mode of curve originally.
