Abstract
A method and system to print selective pages of color images within a print job having a plurality of pages using selected color improvement options such as black overprint, anti-aliasing, and trapping. The system identifies and selects one or more pages within a single print job having a set of a plurality of pages and is able to apply a plurality of different color improvement operations upon printing pages having color images thereon. A user interface enables the assigning of a first color improvement operation to a first subset of pages within the single print job. A processor determines if the page being processed is a member of the first subset of pages that have the first color improvement assigned thereto and performs the first color improvement operation upon the image data associated with the page when it determines that the page being processed is a member of the first subset of pages that have the first color improvement assigned thereto.
