Abstract
In a method or system for automatic preparation of print data for a printing process, the print data is imported and subdivided into segments. The segments are analyzed with an image analysis method for automatically determining presentation parameters for the respective segments such that an image content of the respective segments is analyzed for at least one of color depth, contrast, sharpness, brightness, color space, detail richness, or resolution. The print data together with the automatically determined presentation parameters are provided to control the printing process.

27. A method for automatic preparation of print data for a printing process, comprising the steps of:
-
importing the print data; sub-dividing the print data into segments; analyzing the segments with an image analysis method for automatically determining presentation parameters for the respective segments such that an image content of the respective segments is analyzed for at least one of color depth, contrast, sharpness, brightness, color space, detail richness, or resolution; and providing the print data together with the automatically determined presentation parameters to control the printing process. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)

41. A method to automatically prepare print data of a printing process, comprising the steps of:
-
importing the print data; breaking down the print data into predetermined color separations; analyzing the color separations with an image analysis method to automatically determine contiguous areas of similar color; and compressing the print data wherein the contiguous areas are parameterized. - View Dependent Claims (42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48)

49. A system for automatic preparation of print data for a printing process, comprising:
-
a computer on which a computer readable medium is provided having a program for performing the steps of; importing the print data; subdividing the print data into segments; analyzing the segments with an image analysis method for automatically determining presentation parameters for the respective segments such that an image content of the respective segments is analyzed for at least one of color depth, contrast, sharpness, brightness, color space, detail richness, or resolution; and providing the print data together with the automatically determined presentation parameters to control the printing process. - View Dependent Claims (50, 51, 52)
