IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240160874 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The present invention is an image processing apparatus designed to perform color calibration in a printing apparatus that uses fluorescent ink. The apparatus includes a processing unit for color calibration processing and an execution unit for calibration processing based on measured values obtained from a patch chart.

  • The invention is focused on implementing highly accurate color calibration in a printing apparatus using fluorescent ink.
  • The image processing apparatus includes a processing unit for color calibration and an execution unit for calibration processing based on measured values from a patch chart.
  • The patch chart contains patches printed with fluorescent ink and subtractive color mixture printing material, allowing for calibration based on the application of fluorescent printing material.
  • The calibration process involves measuring the amount of application of fluorescent printing material in the printing apparatus to ensure accurate color reproduction.
