Provided is a color compensation method in an image forming apparatus. The color compensation method may include imaging a first color chart by a first image forming apparatus, scanning the imaged first color chart, comparing information regarding the scanned first color chart and information regarding a reference color chart to determine an international color consortium (ICC) profile of the first image forming apparatus, and performing color compensation on the first image forming apparatus based on the determined ICC profile.

Method and device for color compensation

An image forming apparatus is provided. The image forming apparatus includes a sensor configured to sense a toner concentration, a processor configured to determine at least one of a coring level and a total area coverage (TAC) level according to the detected toner concentration, and an image former configured to print the rendered print data.

An image forming apparatus and method thereof are provided. The image forming apparatus includes: a scanner configured to generate a scan image by scanning a document, a processor configured to generate color information of a medium representing content of the document using a predetermined area of the scan image, and to gamma-correct color of an entire area of the scan image based on the color information, and a printer configured to print the gamma-corrected scan image.

Image forming apparatus and control method of thereof

An image forming apparatus is provided. The image forming apparatus includes: a storage configured to store a color conversion table; an image former configured to print a compensation chart corresponding to the color conversion table; a scanner configured to scan the printed compensation chart; and a changer configured to understand a range of brightness that the image former is able to represent using the scanned compensation chart, generate a gamma curve corresponding to the understood range of brightness, and change the color conversion table based on the generated gamma curve.

Image forming apparatus and method for revising color

An image compensating apparatus includes an input unit to receive input of an photo image, a Gaussian filtering unit to perform Gaussian filtering on the photo image, a division-map generating unit to convert the photo image on which the Gaussian filtering is performed into a color space including a plurality of color components and then generating a chromaticity division-map based on a color coordinate value in the color space, a calculating unit to calculate average chromaticity of each respective region by using the chromaticity division-map, and a compensating unit to compensate chromaticity of each respective region of the photo image by using the average chromaticity of each respective region. Accordingly, a faded image input to the input unit may effectively be compensated.

Image compensation device, image processing apparatus and methods thereof

A print controlling apparatus includes a storage to store a plurality of color feature information, an acquirer to acquire color feature information of a second image forming apparatus, a moderator to moderate color converting table of a first image forming apparatus by using the acquired color feature information and the plurality of color feature information stored in the storage, and a controller to perform printing jobs regarding the first image forming apparatus by using the moderated color converting table.

Print controlling apparatus, image forming apparatus, method of color revising and computer-readable recording medium

A present color compensating method includes receiving selection of an input ICC profile and an output ICC profile, receiving selection of a plurality of color rendering intents to be applied to an ICC profile, generating a color conversion table using the selected input ICC profile, the selected output profile, and the selected plurality of color rendering intents, and generating print data using the generated color conversion table.

Print controlling terminal and method for compensating colors

An image forming apparatus includes a storage unit to store a color conversion table, a user interface unit to receive a color revision initiation command, an image forming unit to print a color chart generated based on the color conversion table if the color revision initiation command is received, the color chart having a plurality of CMYK mixed colors having at least one of brightness and chroma changed, a scan unit to scan the printed color chart, and a change unit to revise the color conversion table using the scanned color chart.

Image forming apparatus and method of color revising

An image revising method, an image forming apparatus, and a method for revising image spreading are provided. The image revising method includes regulating a black color level in a black area of an input image; adjusting a color level of at least one other color excluding the black color in the black area; and revising the image by applying the regulated black color level and the adjusted color level of the at least one other color. Thus, in copying a document, the black color with the enhanced legibility can be serviced.

Image revising method, image forming apparatus and method for revising image spreading

An image forming apparatus, and a color table generating method and color document printing method of the image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus includes a color matching unit to match colors of a color document containing one or more images formed with a preset number of colors with colors available in the image forming apparatus, and a color table generator to generate a color table using the matched colors. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the color change caused by a difference in the characteristics between a printer and a scanner.

Image forming apparatus and color table generating method and color document printing method thereof

A printing method and a printing system are provided where a printing property of the printing system is stored, a printing compatibility of a printing data of an object to be printed is determined by comparing a data property of the printing data with the stored printing property of the printing system, and the determined printing compatibility is displayed to a user. Accordingly, a printing system and a printing method, which are capable of preventing user inconvenience and waste of resources due to re-printing are provided.

Printing system and printing method

An image forming apparatus and an image quality calibration method in the image forming apparatus, the image forming apparatus including a printing unit to print a calibration chart in one mode selected from a plurality of resolution modes, a scanning unit to scan the printed calibration chart, and a calibrating unit to calibrate an image using color values of the scanned calibration chart according to the plurality of resolution modes.

Image forming apparatus and image quality calibration method thereof

A terminal device having a correction function for natural color and a method thereof are provided for creating an image closest in color to the natural color. A priority storing unit stores at a reference color data area a range of natural colors which are colors of objects existing in the natural world. A color editing unit corrects natural color image data corresponding to the natural color area, based on a command for correcting the natural area existing in a predetermined image from the user. A controlling unit decides whether the natural color image data corrected by the color editing unit is included in the reference color data area.

Terminal device having correction function for natural color and method thereof
