First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for correcting color shift in an imaging system having an imaging object, and having a standard color conversion lookup table associated with said imaging object, comprising the steps of:
- measuring a plurality of test patches to obtain color data associated with said imaging object;
generating a signature color data lookup table based on said color data; and
combining said signature color data lookup table with said standard color conversion lookup table to generate a composite color conversion lookup table for use with said imaging object.

Abstract
A method for correcting color shift in an imaging system, including an imaging object, and a standard color conversion lookup table associated with the imaging object, includes measuring a plurality of test patches to obtain color data associated with the imaging object. A signature color data lookup table is generated, based on the color data, and is combined with the standard color conversion lookup table to generate a composite color conversion lookup table for use with the imaging object.
