Abstract
Embodiments described herein utilize a color transform that maps input colors in print jobs to output colors of a printing system. The color transform defines colorant limits that vary based on where the input colors are represented within a color space. When a print job is processed using the color transform to generate rasterized image data, input colors in the print job are converted into output colors of the printing system where a colorant amount for printing each of the output colors is within the colorant limit defined by where its respective input color is represented in the color space.
