Abstract
A color data inversion and reconversion system provides improved systems, methods, and data structures for processing and printing color data which convert colorant amounts (c, m, y, k) for pixels into corresponding color amounts (r′, g′, b′) for the pixels and to accurate colorant amounts (c′, m′, y′, k′) for the pixels. This supports accurate printing of such pixels even where the colorant amounts (c, m, y, k) are inacurate, and can be used where the colorant amounts (c. m. y. k) were determined via a substantially reversible process in response to a set of color amounts (r, g, b).
