Abstract
A printing system includes a machine readable storage medium storing instructions and a processor to execute the instructions. The processor is to execute the instructions to receive a source image comprising a plurality of regions and analyze each region of the plurality of regions to determine an ink density of each region. The processor is to execute the instructions to further in response to the ink density for a region exceeding a threshold, deplete the ink density for the region; and in response to the ink density for a region not exceeding the threshold, maintain the ink density for the region. The processor is to execute the instructions to further combine the depleted regions and the maintained regions to generate an optimized image.
