Abstract
Various systems, methods, and programs embodied in a computer readable medium for determining color separation are provided. In one representative embodiment, a method is provided that comprises specifying a number of nodes along a number of ramps in a predefined color conversion space in a computer system. A maximum possible toner deposit is associated with each of these nodes. In addition, a maximum toner limit is specified for each one of the nodes along the ramps in the computer system. Each of the maximum toner limits is less than the maximum possible toner deposit. In addition, a color separation is determined for each of the nodes along the ramps in the computer system. Each of the color separations specifies up to a maximum amount of toner equaling a corresponding one of the maximum toner limits.
