Abstract
Y image, M image, C image and a mixed-dye image wherein Y, M and C are mixed are prepared by an image forming apparatus, analytical density for each of Y, M and C components in their complementary color wavelength regions is measured by a densitometer for each of Y image, M image and C image, then Y image, M image, C image and a mixed-dye image are read by the aforesaid image reading apparatus and spectral densities for in B, G and R wavelength regions are obtained. A conversion function for obtaining analytical density from spectral density is obtained from the spectral densities obtained by the image reading apparatus and the analytical density obtained through measurement by a densitometer.
