PREPARATION TOOL FOR COLOR PRINT PRESENTATION
First Claim
1. A printing system comprising:
- at least one printer; and
a computing device having a display, wherein the computing device is configured to perform a set of acts comprising;
obtaining an input file,inserting color-measurement patches into the input file so as to generate an output file,causing the at least one printer to print at least three sample prints using the output file, wherein each sample print of the at least three sample prints is associated with a different printing configuration,receiving respective color-measurement data indicative of the color-measurement patches printed on each of the at least three sample prints,determining a presentation order for the at least three sample prints based on the respective color-measurement data for the at least three sample prints, andproviding for display the determined presentation order.

Abstract
An example system includes a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored therein instructions that are executable to cause the system to perform various functions. The functions include, for each sample print of a plurality of sample prints, receiving respective color-measurement data indicative of color measurement patches printed on the sample print. The functions also include determining, using the respective color-measurement data for the sample prints, a respective color gamut volume for each sample print. Further, the functions include ordering the sample prints in order of increasing color gamut volume using the respective color gamut volumes for the sample prints. Still further, the functions include providing for display a presentation order for the sample prints, with the sample prints of the plurality of sample prints being arranged in order of increasing color gamut volume.

15. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by a computing device, an input Portable Document Format (PDF) file from which a plurality of sample prints are to be printed, wherein each sample print of the plurality of sample prints is associated with a different printing configuration; for each sample print of the plurality of sample prints, inserting, by the computing device, color-measurement patches into the input PDF file so as to obtain a respective output PDF file; causing at least one printer to print the plurality of sample prints using the output PDF files; subsequently ordering the sample prints of the plurality of sample prints in order of increasing color gamut volume; and providing for display a presentation order for the plurality of sample prints, with the sample prints of the plurality of sample prints being arranged in order of increasing color gamut volume. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
