Abstract
A method is provided for processing digital multi-color images for the reproduction thereof on a color printing and/or copying system provided with a plurality of process colors defining a gamut. According to this method the gamut is divided into multiple non-overlapping sub-gamuts, each defined by three chromatic process colors. For each pixel of the digital multi-color image, a single corresponding sub-gamut is selected based on lightness differences between the respective chromatic process colors.
